Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), the first Muslim Congresswoman in American history, apologized again for perpetuating antisemitic tropes after receiving widespread condemnation for her latest theory about Jews.

“Anti-semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Omar wrote on Feb. 11 in a post on Twitter.
