President Trump said Saturday that Democrats have allowed anti-Semitism to “take root in their party and their country” as the party’s base is pushing it to the left and to positions more critical of Israel. “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country," Omar said. At the beginning of his remarks on Saturday, Trump “thanked” Omar before issuing a mocking apology when the friendly crowd booed the reference. “Oh, oh, I forgot, she doesn’t like Israel, I forgot, I’m so sorry, no, she doesn’t like Israel, does she?” he said. It wasn’t the only time during the hourlong speech that he made a joke about a serious subject.
