Does Assistant Whip Finkenauer agree?
Abby Finkenauer was added to the House Democrats’ leadership team yesterday, as she was appointed Assistant Whip by Majority Whip Jim Clyburn. Poor timing on Abby’s part as her new boss picked yesterday to defend an anti-Semite by belittling the experience of the children of Holocaust survivors.
Clyburn defended Omar from critics of her anti-Semitism, arguing that Omar’s experience is much more empirical and powerful than that of the children of Holocaust survivors. He then elaborated saying, “I’m serious about that. There are people who tell me, ‘Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ‘My parents did this.’ It’s more personal with her.” Yikes.
So, quick question for Finkenauer – does she agree with her new boss?
