Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D) is either unable (not likely) are unwilling (most likely) to call out the anti-Semitism expressed by Rep. Ilhan Omar in her controversial tweets that implied U.S. support of Israel is motivated by money.

When confronted with the issue during a CNN town hall event, Gabbard said she doesn’t think Omar was trying to offend anyone and instead was trying to get at a deeper issue.

“There are people who have expressed their offense at these statements,” said Gabbard. “I think that what Congresswoman Omar was trying to get at was a deeper issue related to our foreign policy, and I think there’s an important discussion that we have to be able to have openly, even though we may end up disagreeing at the end of it, but we’ve got to have that openness to have the conversation,” Gabbard said.
