And your point?

Because they are in Congress, people actually pay attention to what they say...including the media, and there is a price to be paid.
It isn't because the Democrats have a superior moral compass or this "staunch purity test" you speak of...that has nothing to do with it...it only has to do with the fact that the spotlight is bigger and brighter on these types of radical far-left politicians, who never before enjoyed the kind of acceptance they have received in recent years...that is until they start showing their true colors.

Honestly....all the "NEW" democrats are total pendulum swing reaction to Trump...and like you said...showing their TRUE colors...like Trump...(  )...means they'll get shot down eventually....I HOPE....

Wrong! The "New" Demos are stemming from Bernie empowerment...all those freebee idealists. Some just have bigger mouths...figuratively and literally. Slick, non-confrontational Demos just hoping for the 'united' votes!
Also, since when was Trump ever considered a right-wing radical? And, what "true colors" regarding Trump are you referring to?
The only true colors I see blossoming are coming from some of the dirty-fighting libs here...a la Barn32.

I wonder if Virginia governor Northam is one of them? Just wondering....
Pretty clear whats going on. The democrat party is definitely not the party of tolerance, to put it mildly

What remark did she make ?

Troll question. You know what it is (and her history of anti Semitic tweets and comments)
In case you don't know, the latest comment was the one rebuked by Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi knows there's a history with Ilhan and anti Semitism so that may be why she pounced on her.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...=.c5de1cce54e6
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the entire Democratic leadership on Monday condemned Rep. Ilhan Omar for suggesting that Israel’s allies in American politics were motivated by money rather than principle, an extraordinary rebuke of a House freshman in the vanguard of the party’s left flank.
The Minnesota congresswoman’s Sunday evening tweet — “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” a reference to $100 bills — drew immediate denunciations from Republicans and fellow Democrats, especially Jewish members of Congress. Within hours, Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the leadership issued a joint statement calling Omar’s “use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters” deeply offensive and insisted on an apology.

another bit of help for POT...
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2019/01...e-world-716896
After being called out in the New York Times for anti-Semitic views on Israel, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., responded by expressed regret over a 2012 tweet that claimed “Israel has hypnotized the world” while doing “evil.”
But the Somalia refugee who became one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress in November is also offended she has to expend so much energy putting her remarks in context instead of “disavowing the anti-semitic trope I unknowingly used.

I honestly didn't know what she said as I don't follow politics much at all. However, it is what I expected....her remarks were anti Israel, not anti Semitic.
There's a difference.
And I'll never need your help ElKabonghit. Why would I enlist the help of a dropout like you?
Hook em Horns!!

Take it up with Pelosi, Hoyer etc. Their condemnation denounced her anti semitism . Read it again, then go back to lsu to get a refund on the tuition they took in.
My degree served me well, hoss. Retired in my early 60s, now running my own business as well as helping my wife's business.

Where is this same level of criticism when Steve King or your hero Candace Owens starts talking?
Democrats are going after people like this wholesale... call it a purity test... call it marching orders... call it whatever the hell you want.
THEY'RE DOING IT. Republicans aren't.

They win with you 100% lately though, which I find amusing.
Why don't you just go register yourself as a Democrat and be done with it already. You have nothing but good things to say about them...they seem to be your new party.

Seriously...I'm not sure why you don't.
Hell, maybe you'll even convince me eventually.

She is from the area in Minnesota that is the largest settlement of Somalians outside of Somalia (over 80,000). She did a door to door campaign and got many of them to vote for her, which is quite a voting block.
She has had some troubles in US, like marrying her brother so he could immigrate to the USA. Some of her worst tweets are from before she was elected for anything.
She is rather happy for herself and will probably get demoted off of any committee of importance. Look at her questioning (sorry, that was not a question but a statement, I want to keep my time) of Venezuela's envoy today...
