Steve King has been denounced by many in the Republican party and marginalized. He lost his committee assignments over his racist comments. When will Omar and Talib lose theirs?
I'm not arguing that the Republican party is perfect. They obviously aren't. Just arguing that the "dog whistle" argument will not be compelling coming from the same party that has yet to condemn outright anti-semitism from two of their own representatives.
Pelosi gave a half denouncement of Omar and then went on to be her apologist: "She didn't have a full appreciation of how they landed on other people where these words have a history and a cultural impact that might have been unknown to her," Pelosi said about Omar.
