Excerpts from article:
..."The same people who chastise the progressive movement regularly traffic in anti-Muslim smears and hate speech against me and those I represent," Omar tweeted Thursday, sharing two images of tweets from McCain.
...This is not the first time Omar and McCain have clashed.
...Last year, McCain called for some of Omar's rhetoric that others have called anti-Semitic to be addressed following a deadly shooting at a California synagogue, although Omar had apologized for the statements.
...McCain was pressed by "Late Night" host Seth Meyers last year on her criticism of Omar.
...Meyers asked McCain if she thought people who talk about Omar, one of the first two Muslim women to be elected to Congress, need to be careful "Or do you stand by those comments of tying her to this, her rhetoric to the synagogue shooting."
