Joe Rogan Experience host Joe Rogan said Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) should not have apologized for saying Jews love the Benjamins. .“The idea that Jewish people aren’t into money is ridiculous,” said Rogan in a Tuesday video..“That’s like saying Italians aren’t into pizza.” .The video starts off with Rogan saying Omar was talking about how it's all about money. Breaking Points host Krystal Ball said Omar should not have apologized. .“It’s not an antisemitic statement,” he said. .He said people’s reactions are “f*cking stupid.” Ball asked if people could talk about money’s influence in the District of Columbia. .“There’s a very obvious reason why, for my entire life, there’s been a uni-party consensus around our policy vis-a-vis the Israeli government and a total inability or unwillingness to criticize the Israeli government,” she said. .“It has everything to do with organization and, yes, money.” .Ball said the Israeli lobby is like every other special interest in DC. While she has issues and disagreements with Omar, she said she is “one of the more courageous voices on foreign policy whose willing to call out some of the hypocrisy and bullshit in US foreign policy.” .She concluded by saying it's a loss she was kicked off the Foreign Affairs Committee. .House Republicans voted to remove Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday, citing past controversial comments she made about Israel and concerns over her objectivity..The vote was 218-211 along party lines. .She drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats during her first term for tweets invoking antisemitic tropes. She apologized for these tweets, but she has remained outspoken about the influence of Israel and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
