WASHINGTON -- Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Ill.) snapped at a progressive Muslim who asked her at a conference on Tuesday if she could make a public statement condemning female genital mutilation, calling the question "appalling" and "very frustrating."
"Should I make a schedule, like, does this need to be on repeat every 5 minutes? Should I be like, so, today I forgot to condemn Al-Qaeda, so here's the Al-Qaeda one. Today I forgot to condemn FGM so here it goes. Today I forgot to condemn Hamas so here it goes. You know, I mean, it is a very frustrating question that comes up. You can look up my record. I've voted for bills doing exactly what you are asking me to do. I've put out statements upon statements," Omar said at the Muslim Caucus Education Collective's 2019 Conference.
"I am, I think, quite disgusted to be honest that as Muslim legislators we are constantly being asked to waste our time speaking to issues that other people are not asked to speak to because the assumption exists that we somehow support and are for, right? No, there is an assumption. So I want to make sure the next time someone is in an audience and is looking at me and Rashida, and Abdul and Sam, that they ask us the proper questions they will probably ask any member of Congress or any legislator," she added.
Omar urged the person who asked the question, Ani Zonneveld, president of Muslims for Progressive Values, and the rest of the audience, not come forward "with an accusation that we might support something that is so abhorrent, so offensive, so evil, so vile."
She continued, "I would like, not just for you, but for everyone to know that if you want us to speak as politicians, as American politicians, then you treat us as such."

It’s a good thing no reporter has EVER ASKED President Trump a stupid question.
He’s so lucky.
And I must add...The President handles those inane questions with total patience and aplomb. Never gets angry, always polite.
Omar has none of those qualities. She is a street brat.

Short answer: yeah, looks like she did.
I think this was a set-up myself: she was questioned by a muslim. Yeah, I’m that paranoid. :/
You mean like her heart swells for Al Qaeda?
So...she’s for it?
Poor thing probably had it done to her as a child in Somalia. I have little sympathy for her as an enemy adult but great sympathy for her as a child.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Translation: “No, I don’t condemn it at all”
I wonder if her Minders are ok with that answer.
“Do you support lying to infidels?”
....... “I would like everyone to know that if you want us to speak as politicians, as American politicians, then you treat us as such.”.......
Just answer the questions like other American politicians do....you’re treated otherwise because you conduct yourself otherwise as anti-American.
Can she not answer questions without ‘feeling’ she’s still a victim, and that by her own design? What she really wants is just a platform to spew her rants against this nation.
” “Do you support lying to infidels?” “
YES, Exactly !!!
FYI and comments!
And her answer actually was...?
They are trying to reestablish the Barre Regime in Somalia. She most definitely has handlers.
The follow-up should have been, “So you refuse to condemn FGM?”
This is a psychological reveal.
Why would she have a problem repeating condemnation for something she really wants to condemn?
She wouldn’t.
She has NO PROBLEM condemning Trump repeatedly.
So the only reason she would get perturbed by getting asked to repeat a condemnation about FGM is because she really don’t want to condemn it.
Yep, now she knows how Republicans feel. Especially white Republicans who are expected to answer for every crime committed by some white man. LOL
Cue the tiny violins!
Never mind those standard wet dreams... The only truly rewarding one is of mushroom clouds rising from the Ka'ba in Mecca and, for completeness, all other moslem nations...
Only radical surgery will save the patient (Earth)... Every other idea is just a guarantee of a slow, agonizing death for the patient..
she’s not mature enough to be a rep., or a dog catcher.
If the MSM covered Omar the way they covered Trump in 2016, the headline for the next week would be, “Omar fails to disavow female genital mutilation.”
She is surely living with it. She is fine with it.
On the one hand, she’s probably a bit touchy about this topic.
On the other, since she’s a full-bore jealous Muzzie, she doesn’t want any woman to have what she no longer has, especially an infidel woman.
Say, do you think there’s a potential brand extension in here for Planned Parenthood?
