Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) claims that America was “founded by genocide,” according to recently unearthed tweets.

“We must confront that our nation was founded by genocide and we maintain global power through neocolonialism,” Omar said in a 2017 tweet.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., wrote in 2017 that America was founded by genocide and our foreign policy smacks of “neocolonialism.” “We must confront that our nation was founded by genocide and we maintain global power through neocolonialism,” Omar said in a tweet linking a Time article titled “Unity Will Take Generations” she wrote about the August 2017 white supremacist rally Charlottesville, Va.

Omar elaborated on her comment more in the article.

“We must confront that our nation was founded by the genocide of indigenous people and on the backs of slaves, that we maintain global power with the tenor of neocolonialism,” she said.

The Bushes with their “Religion of Peace” idiocy is what brought the Somalis here to the States. Started with GHWB. Obama added to what they started.

That’s rich coming from an Islamist. Islam is like the Borg of Star Trek. Assimilating and destroying every culture it invades until there is nothing left but Borg.

That is really rich coming from a Muslim. Just consider the history of North Africa where the Muslims STILL practice slavery.

She should feel right at home then, since Islam was founded on genocide and continues to be.

How can a woman like this be a representative in the US congress?

Same way the majority of the negro "black" caucus is.

Sure as hell is not ability or intelligence.

“How can a woman like this be a representative in the US congress?”

Another question: Why has Pelosi allowed AOC and the two terrorists to take over her party? It’s not like her. She should’ve done some major ass kicking by now.

I’d say that she’s an example of “far left extremism” in our Congress but she’s also an example of a moderate Democrat these days.

Yellow Dog Rats need to wake up to what their gran’daddy’s party has become.
