Omar, Tlaib balk after report of Trump administration plan to expand travel ban: 'Straight up racism!'
Fox News ^ | 1/11/20 | Brie Stimson

Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., expressed outrage Friday after a report said the Trump administration was considering an expansion of the nation's travel ban to cover more countries.

**SNIP**

“What do 5 out of 7 of these countries have in common? They are Muslim-majority countries the President already tried to ban,” Omar tweeted.

It wasn't clear whether she was referring to the currently banned countries or a potential list.

“We need to pass the #NoBanAct immediately to stop this madness," she added.

Tlaib called the ban “Straight up racism!”

“No more waiting,” she tweeted. “Too many Muslims have been intentionally targeted, discriminated against, separated from their families and denied opportunities solely based on their faith.”

The administration’s travel ban, which has been through several rounds of litigation and iterations, currently includes seven countries (with certain exceptions) not allowed to fly to the United States: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela and North Korea.

Maybe when these goofballs address terrorism, I may begin to pay attention. Until then, nope.

No it is not racism.

We just do not want people in our country who want to kill us.

If that is racist, so be it

Oh yeah, Omar and Tailib, go eff yourself with a boar goat.

We need to throw back the meme that the Palestinians and Iranians are racist for wanting to kill us.

Actually, these two hateful women are prime examples why those from the countries they represent should not be admitted. As for separating families....I agree with them, so let’s pack up the relatives and send them home.

Straight up racism!

Mohammedanism is a race? That cult that makes second-class citizens of women, requiring that they cover up; make them victims of honor-killings and female-genital mutilation?

I don’t care what you call it.

‘Racism’ - a fluid word without any agreed upon definition. We have allowed the word to become weaponized. Of course it can only be that way if we allow it.

Muslims are not racist, they are murderers. All Muslims are taught to murder non-Muslims.

racism is now a meaningless word and cannot be permitted to control people.

when I hear the word racism, I hear YADA YADA. meaningless gibberish to move a narrative to a platform in order to whip, not engage in thought.

““We need to pass the #NoBanAct immediately to stop this madness,” she added.”

maddness is allowing into our country people who’s religion considers us infidels and worthy of killing.

maddness is voting into public office people who’s religion considers us infidels and worthy of killing

saneness is enacting laws or methods to thwart more of the madness.

I’m sure those are nice places and those “refugees” won’t mind creating “opportunities” there in those places.
