Rep. Ilhan Omar expects Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, if elected, will become far more progressive than the moderate he has presented himself as.
Speaking during an interview with “Axios on HBO” that aired Monday, Omar (D-Minn.) made the comments after being asked what kind of negotiating power progressives will have with a Biden administration.
“A president is only as successful as his collaboration is with Congress. And we will have a cohort of progressives that are very clear about their objectives for wanting the implementation of Medicare-for-all and a Green New Deal and raising the minimum wage and not allowing for fracking,” the “Squad” member said.
Asked if there were any cabinet positions that she believed Biden must put a progressive in, she replied that the former vice president’s cabinet should be filled with progressives.
“I would say all of the cabinet positions should be filled by progressive Democrats,” she remarked, laughing.
Receiving pushback from the interviewer for saying that progressive policies were “most popular with the American people,” Omar was asked to explain why, in that case, a moderate like Biden was the Democratic nominee.
“I think sometimes there is a disconnect really in the person that you might believe should lead and the policies you might believe should be implemented,” she explained, referencing the support for Medicare-for-all in places where Biden, who backs a public option, won the Democratic primary.
“That should signal to Joe Biden that ‘these people trusted me to lead but these were the policies that they want me to lead on,’ and act accordingly,” according to Omar.

Scary comments by Omar
His cognitive abilities will get progressively worse after he loses.
Akin to Zero’s comments to Russia about having “more flexibility” after the 2012 election.
Nonsense, he ain’t gonna lose. He’s going to beat Tom Dewey, yes, sir !
He might be a LOT of things after the election.
POTUS ain’t one of them.
Just keep movin’ that finger, honey!
Can’t wait to see him and Cunter in matching orange jumpsuits.
From your keyboard to God’s ears!
I expect Joe Biden to be sleeping more in his basement after the election - since he will lose.
Omar - I expect her ass to be on a plane back to Ethiopia - since she came her illegally and fraudulently...
They knew she was a snake when they voted for her.
What, he’s going progress from hiding in his basement to moving at a snails pace?
He can be whatever he wants after the election, if the nursing home will allow it.
She is an idiot. Well, she’s a “liberal” and muslim so that’s a given. But even beyond tho first two strikes... If she expects a Biden to do anything based on principle she’s worse than a fool. Apparently the Bidens are for sale to the highest bidder. If slow Joe and the Ho somehow cheat and steal their way into the White House conservatives could very easily scrape together a few million and buy Joe off.
“More progressive”. The main thing I see is that after they lose the election they will come up with the next chapter of impeachment accusations....drum up Russia and China conspiracies...
She’s wrong.
Plugs is gonna be more DEAD after the election.
She also lied on her papers to enter this country.
She needs to be DEPORTED with no chance to ever return.
Yeah, but nobody’s buying that “malarkey” anymore except the demonic choir.
:)
i am sure he will venture out of the basement more often
