Ilhan Omar traveled with anti-US group that supports Cuban, Venezuelan socialism, wants US to return Gitmo to Cuba

ep. Ilhan Omar has attended a travel delegation to a South American country sponsored by a radical anti-American and anti-Israel organization that supports countries opposed to the U.S. and calls for the return of Guantanamo Naval Base to Cuba.

The Minnesota Democrat was accused of anti-Semitism after asserting that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a bipartisan group, was buying lawmakers.

She also grabbed headlines after first accusing the U.S. government of leading a coup against Venezuelan socialist tyrant Nicolas Maduro and then attempting to grill Elliott Abrams, the Trump administration's new special envoy for Venezuela.

Now it was revealed that she once traveled to Honduras with an organization called Witness for Peace, a group formed during the Reagan administration that opposed America’s actions in South America aimed at stopping the spread of communism.

“After traveling to Honduras as part of the Witness for Peace delegation, I've returned home with a heavy heart and deep concern for the electoral process and human rights crisis the people of Honduras are enduring,” Omar tweeted in 2017.

Shortly after the trip with the group, she began opposing U.S. military aid to Honduras and publicly called for the suspension of the funding.

Omar’s association with Witness for Peace may prompt more scrutiny of her suitability to serve on the House Foreign Affairs Committee as the Witness for Peace organization and its leaders have supported the socialist regimes of Cuba and Venezuela and come out against the Jewish state, the Washington Free Beacon first revealed.

The Minnesota Democrat was accused of anti-Semitism
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She is not a Minnesota democrat. She is from Cedar/Riverside in Minneapolis which is not in the American part of the State.
That area is off limits to whitey.

And just what was to be expected when Minnesota was “diversified” with 200,000 Somalian Muslim immigrants? Its only going to get worse.

Perhaps it’s time to check the charters of these organizations to see whether they advocate the violent overthrow of the US government...

No need to check CAIR, it has been checked and rechecked since 1 year after 9-11 it has clear ties to hezbollah and its co-founder was jailed recently. There is even an anti-cair website devoted to “checking” cair. Remember, i am paraphrasing, the co-founder once said that cair isn’t here to have islime be any religion but is here to make islime as the dominant religion and the qurap the constitution. this is a continuation of the londonistan agenda, dearbornistan was their foothold and they couldn’t put any more there or it would be even more suspicious than it is now.

The Democrats put her on the House Foreign Affairs Committee where she can do a lot of damage. Evidently they consider hatred as a qualification for an important committee assignment.

The good people of Minnesota (70% White district) consider her one.

No, we don’t. Don’t get fooled by believing Minnesota is the same as Minneapolis, especially Cedar/ Riverside. It is a separate world.

Why do we have background checks for buying guns but no background checks when running for office?
