Sanders defends Omar: It's not anti-semitic to be critical of Netanyahu's government

Sanders said Omar may need to do a better job “in speaking to the Jewish community,” but rejected the idea she is anti-Semitic.

He elaborated:

“I will do everything in my power, and I hope every member of Congress will fight not only anti-Semitism, but racism and anti-Muslim activity so we create a non-discriminatory society, but it is not anti-Semitic to be critical of a right-wing government in Israel. It is not anti-Semit
