Ilhan Omar, a Democratic representative from Minnesota and member of the progressive 'Squad,' has faced backlash for retweeting a photograph depicting deceased children, captioned "CHILD GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE."

The image, which claimed to represent "614 Palestinian children murdered by the Israeli [IDF] forces," was later identified by social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, as originating from a 2013 sarin gas attack in Ghouta, Syria, not the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Do you think a congressperson should be held to higher standards and disciplined for intentionally broadcasting false information - even via a personal social media account?

Following the criticism, Omar has since removed the retweet. Fox News contributor Guy Benson criticized Omar for her attempt to attribute the children's deaths to Israel. "She was claiming through that retweet that Israel had killed these children. And of course, the photo was from a decade ago in a different country. It was a lie," Benson stated on "The Big Weekend Show." If a representative is willing to lie to make an American ally look bad, does that seem like a conflict of interests?

Benson continued, acknowledging the tragic reality that Palestinian children have been and will continue to be casualties of the conflict. He emphasized the importance of verified reports, asserting that Israel strives to avoid such casualties, while Hamas deliberately targets innocent individuals. Do you, like me, think it is crazy that some Americans are opting to favor the terrorist actions of Hamas over Israel's attempts to limit civilian casualties, for example, by warning civilians to relocate and giving them hours to do so before any attack?

Will Cain, co-host of the show, pointed out that propaganda is a common tool used by nations at war. "The truth dies in war," he said. He stressed the responsibility of elected leaders to share the truth with their constituents, expressing his disapproval of Omar or any other leader participating in the spread of propaganda. He concluded by emphasizing the responsibility of journalists to sift through the propaganda and strive to report the truth. Is it shameful that a representative of the people would so blatantly try to mislead them with false information?

Going a step further, do you think intentionally using false information to try to embitter constituents against an American ally should be grounds for impeachment?
