London Mayor Sadiq Khan hailed visiting U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, despite her documented record of antisemitic rhetoric.

Since entering public life, American lawmaker Ilhan Omar has alienated the Jewish community with her anti-Israel agenda. Her rhetoric has led to persistent accusations of antisemitism since she tweeted a decade ago that the Jewish state “hypnotized the world” with its “evil doings.”

Shockingly, London Mayor Sadiq Khan welcomed her with open arms in the U.K. last week, commenting, “From the lakes of Minnesota to the bright lights of London, we must stand firm in upholding progressive values of equality and inclusion in the face of those who seek to divide us.”
