"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" means that you have to judge things based on their plain meaning and appearance instead of trying to imply some secret hidden meaning or symbolism. If you look at what Oman said she was talking about a powerful lobby and the influence their support carries. The only way you can say her comments are anti-semantic is to claim they have a secret hidden meaning.
Sure it can. To many, including large swathes of Democrats, the tweets were clearly antisemitic. As they see it thus, the statement can absolutely be seen that way. Poor gestalt Fred.
I'll remember this though they next time you accuse another politician of using a "dig whistle".
