Is Ilhan Omar paid off?

Question

I should note right off the bat that I actually do not believe this is true.
However, in light of her now infamous "Benjamins" comment I was wondering the following:
The implication of her statement was that the only reason why politicians would support Israel was because they were paid off by lobbyists.
However, on general consideration, there are literally 100s of lobby groups in Washington for literally any issue you can think of. Billions of dollars are spent on lobbying by corporations, organizations, etc.

Thus, it could be said, of ANY politician of ANY issue that they voice support for that the ONLY reason they are doing it is because a lobby group paid them off for it.

Now, since Ilhan Omar is a politician, then that can equally apply to her as well.
So, according to her OWN "logic" we can say she is "paid off".

You believe this to be true yet provide no evidence to back it up....You don’t even name the perso or organization you suspect paid her off. This says more about you and your personal bias then it does Omar

All Dems have owners, she wraps herself in the Palestinian flag, so hers must be some kind of mullah.

You guys are the most disingenuous and hypocritical people  because you never acknowledge and speak out against anything morally bad or illegal a right-winger, trumptard, etc... does.

Same again.

Suggests what you yourself are accused of.

I see this tactic often. Knowing to get you I have to reveal me. And you know we all are crooked somewhat.

Well guess what?

Put it all on the table to see. To see who is dirtier. My dirt, your dirt, their dirt.

I was always game. Not once had a taker with influence.

I know why. And so do you.

Nah. I have no problem believing she's speaking her mind when she bashes Israel. She was raised to hate Jews.

Everyone is talking about the "implications" of her word. And no one seems to comprehend the history and of her statements. 
Sadly, she has now learned that there are a lot of right-wing jackals ready to pounce on her every word. For a party that harbors so much hatred, Republicans have no moral high ground on the subject of hate.

All liberals are paid off.  They accept money to undermine the fools that elect them.
