Rep. Ilhan Omar lashed out at a CNN reporter on Capitol Hill Wednesday after he asked her to further explain a tweet that attacked President Trump.

In a report aired Wednesday night on “Erin Burnett OutFront,” senior Congressional correspondent Manu Raju was seen first approaching Mrs. Omar, Minnesota Democrat, to ask about Mr. Trump’s call for her to resign from Congress amid allegations of anti-Semitism.

“The president said that you should resign and the vice president said you should be held accountable for your views. Can you respond to that?” Mr. Raju asked the freshman congresswoman.

“No, thank you,” Mrs. Omar responded before retreating behind a door that read, “members and staff only.”

Mr. Raju later tried to ask the congresswoman to further explain her tweet earlier Wednesday that accused the president of “trafficking” in hate against “Jews, Muslims, Indigenous, immigrants, black people and more.”

“This morning you said the president trafficked—” Mr. Raju began.

“Are you serious?” Mrs. Omar fired back. “What is wrong with you?”

“I’m asking you a question about your tweet,” Mr. Raju responded. “You had a tweet saying the president trafficked in hate.”

“Yes, I tweeted, and there’s a response,” Mrs. Omar said. “You can run that. Have a nice day.”

Mr. Raju explained the interaction on Twitter, saying Mrs. Omar spoke to him “angrily” and was “in no mood to talk about her controversies.”

Some of Mr. Raju’s colleagues criticized Mrs. Omar’s unusual reaction.

Sounds like she needs to be bombarded on Twitter by concerned citizens.

Even CNN apparatchiks are not allowed to question what their betters do.

“What is wrong with you?” = “Don’t you know that CNN works for the Democrat Party?”

Hate to tell you, Ms. Omar, but the media doesn’t get much friendlier for you than CNN.

“No, thank you,” Mrs. Omar responded.

She was born and raised Muslim. The Muslim mantra is etched in her mind...."Kill all the Christians and Jews".

She doesn't belong in our government.

They play sweet until they think they have sufficient numbers and power and then they start making trouble, making demands .... or else. She thinks because she in Congress that Muslims are at that point so she’s bringing it. They aren’t yet and so eventually her own people will tell her to cool it, for a while anyway. Until they are really ready.
