Former Democrat House Judiciary Committee chief counsel Julian Epstein accuses Omar of making baseless accusations against Israel.
“I think it is unfair to make false accusations, but I will note, ironically, that Omar has been race-baiting,” Mr Epstein told News24 host Elizabeth Pipko.
“Jews and race-baiting Israel, calling it a genocidal regime without having any facts to back that up whatsoever. It's a lie.
“And I would note, ironically, that her family, her father in particular, was part of the Siad Barre regime in Somalia that was, I think, widely reported to be a genocidal regime, responsible, and her father was a colonel in that regime.
“For somebody like that to be coming over and smearing, I think she's often smeared the United States. I think she has smeared Israel. I think a lot of people see that as sort of incredibly hypocritical, given her provenance.”
