ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Rep. Ilhan Omar has come under fresh criticism for remarks critics call anti-Semitic.

The Minnesota Democrat was appearing at a forum in Washington with Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan when she said she fears everything they say about Israel is construed as anti-Semitic because they’re Muslim.

But some Jewish leaders say Omar then revived an old trope about divided loyalties among Jewish-Americans when she criticized the idea that it’s “OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”

Steve Hunegs of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas says he’s appalled.

(Omar's edgy Israel tweet no surprise to some back home).....she is Muslim and an agitator for CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood. Omar does NOT represent the US Constitution in any form. She is out of place in the United States Congress...and as a citizen I resent the heck out of her dislike of my country and disrespect for the Oval Office and the MAN occupying it. Expel her.

This bitch is a threat to national security (of course, so is virtually the entire Demonrat caucus). She absolutely should be expelled for treason.

It’s way past time to press charges against that rag-head Somalian, Omar, who promotes the “overthrow” (her words)
of a duly-elected American president. There is a limit to her foul political discourse when it rolls into sedition.

Lookit how proud Nancy is of the creepy, evil-eyed, towel-head.
Pelosi obediently put the rag-head creep on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.....bowing to Omar's request.

DEMOCRATS FALL DEEPER INTO ISLAM'S "WE HATE-AMERICA" PIT.

Ilhan Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later, Omar’s Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in His Administration
BY DAVID STEINBERG JANUARY 24, 2019, PJ Media.com

Democrat Omar (MINN) became the first Somali-American legislator in United States’ history when Minnesota’s House District 60B elected her on November 8, 2016. The distinction won Omar immediate fame and influence in Somalia, which was entering the final stretch of a critical presidential election of its own.

According to prominent federal security clearance defense attorney Sean Bigley (read below), Omar's documented actions in the weeks that followed would almost certainly prevent any applicant with such a background from obtaining or keeping a U.S. security clearance.

Ilhan Omar is now a U.S. congresswoman, however. Elected federal officials are exempted from the arduous security clearance process; they hold de facto clearances once sworn in to office. Further, Omar will likely be privy to a significant amount of classified national security information this term. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has granted Omar's request for a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

------------------------------

“Corruption … affects virtually every aspect of the Somali society: from public officials’ misuse of public goods for private gain and the solicitation of bribes in exchange for basic services to the clan-based patronage networks used to obtain employment and political appointments.” -- Transparency International, 2018

The common hyperbole for describing government corruption -- “rampant,” or “endemic” -- does not help adequately illustrate Somalia’s recent administrations. “As bad as it gets” does the job, literally: Transparency International, the massive NGO dedicated to exposing public-sector corruption, has placed Somalia dead-last among all nations on Earth in its annual “Corruption Perceptions Index” -- for 11 consecutive years. Somalia has occasionally managed to tie, though never outrank, North Korea.

Any significant involvement by a U.S. citizen in Somalia's election process would likely raise eyebrows at America's intelligence agencies. On December 20, 2016, just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature, Ilhan Omar was in Mogadishu with then-President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a favorite for re-election. He reportedly invited her to appear with him prior to the election taking place.

Omar likely met at least one other Somali presidential candidate on her trip. According to a speech by her soon-to-be husband Ahmed Hirsi, Ilhan had just flown from Nairobi to Mogadishu on a plane with former Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, known as “Farmaajo” (“Cheese”). Farmaajo -- a U.S. citizen who, inconceivably, had boarded that plane as a Buffalo, NY, cubicle employee of the New York Department of Transportation -- was the eventual surprise winner of Somalia’s presidency on February 8, 2017.

The New York Times deemed Farmaajo’s bribe-fueled win “one of the most fraudulent political events in Somalia’s history.” In the run-up, “some Parliament seats had gone for more than $1 million each”: The entire process has been so bad, several analysts said, that the Shabab militant group, one of the deadliest Islamist organizations in the world, isn’t even trying to derail the vote because the corruption free-for-all almost makes the militants look upstanding by comparison.

Omar getting ready to cash in?

Ilhan Omar called for voters to “VOTE TWICE”
Minn AG--Muslim Keith Ellison is standing directly next to her in the same picture.

=======================================

Minnesota Rep Ilhan Omar called for voters to “VOTE TWICE”
Muslima arrested for voting twice ‘knowingly committed voter fraud’
By Pamela Geller - on February 24, 2019

It calls into question the election results. Ismail said the reason she chose to knowingly commit voter fraud was that Warsame was going to help the Muslim community. How many others did the same?

==============================================

By: Laura Loomer, February 16, 2019:
In a picture posted on her Instagram on October 21, 2012, Ilhan Omar (in the hijab) holds a banner that says, “Be nice, VOTE NO Twice. WE don’t need Voter ID.”

Newly obtained social media posts from the accounts of Ilhan Omar, who is currently serving as a Congresswoman for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, reveals that she and Keith Ellison, who currently serves as Minnesota’s Attorney General, championed voter fraud by encouraging people in Minnesota to “Vote Twice”.

Omar, who is a self proclaimed refugee from Somalia, represents an immigrant heavy district that now holds the title as the number one terrorist recruitment state in the United States. According to the FBI, “more men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined – or attempted to join – a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.”

Due to the heavy Islamic influence in Minnesota, a direct result of the Democrat’s pro-immigration policies that have allowed for the importation of hundreds of thousands of refugees to be resettled in Minnesota, Omar’s district has become a popular destination for ISIS terrorists and illegal aliens who wish to undermine the safety and integrity of the American political system. [Minnesota Attorney General] Keith Ellison is standing directly next to her in the same picture.

Omar and Ellison’s calls to ban voter identification laws, along with their demands for people in Minnesota to “vote twice” is proof that they do not respect voter laws, and are eager to help themselves and other Muslim Democrats win elections through mass voter fraud.

One of the main reasons why voter ID is necessary is to prove that those who vote are legal US citizens. One vote per person. That is the law. Not Twice. Once.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. She’s just frankly and honestly expressing her sincere, heartfelt opinions, which reflect those of her constituency and district. Did they drive Harry Truman out for his racist and anti-Semitic comments? Or Robert Byrd? Or how about Strom Thurmond? Or George Wallace? Or whatsisface Fullbright, Bill Clinton’s benefactor? Huh? Huh? Huh? Ilhan is in good company, the very (sour) cream of the Democrat party. Let her stay and represent Dearbournistan, and sit on the Foreign Relations Committee, and even run for Senator and then President. The Democrats deserve her. She deserves them. They all deserve each other.
