Anti-Semitism is creeping into the Democratic Party.
Elected to the House of Representatives in a safe Democratic district in Minnesota, the 37-year-old Ms. Omar came to the United States as a refugee from Somalia.
U.S. President Donald Trump now claims Jewish voters are fleeing the Democratic Party as anti-Semitism is allowed to creep into its ranks.
Jewish Americans have been faithfully Democratic voters for decades.
In every presidential election since 2000, around 70 per cent of Jewish voters have marked their ballot for the Democratic candidate.
In 2016 Mr. Trump's coddling of white supremacists helped consolidate Democratic support among Jewish voters.
"Congresswoman Omar's use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel's supporters is deeply offensive," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and fellow Democratic leaders said then.
