QUOTE: during his remarks thanking various participants and groups, he mockingly thanked Omar, who has faced a great deal of criticism recently over anti-Semitic statements she's made both since her election and prior to it.
"And a special thanks to Representative Omar, of Minnesota," said Trump. The audience immediately began to boo her, and Trump continued.
"Oh. Oh, I forgot. She doesn't like Israel, I forgot," he said. "I'm sorry. On. No, she doesn't like Israel, does she? Please, I apologize."
The crowd laughed along with it. The Republican Jewish Coalition has previously weighed in on statements about Israel from Rep. Omar. Last month, RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said that Omar has "lit an ugly dumpster-fire of anti-Semitism in Congress," and called some her statements "toxic anti-Semitic eruptions."

A politician pandering to a partisan audience as though they were angry children?
I'm shocked.
