Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., rebuked Democratic Party figures who attended President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday.
Omar, a member of the progressive "Squad," told CNN host Kaitlan Collins on Thursday night that because of Trump’s alleged lack of respect for his political opponents and his "dismantling" of democracy, Democratic lawmakers should not have shown him respect by attending his swearing-in.
"So just the level of indignity that was shown and disrespect to tradition, to me, said, no one should show him dignity and respect," the lawmaker said on CNN.
The lawmaker grilled Democratic Party members for attending the event on X earlier this week, stating, "People are more upset at performers/artists attending Trump’s inaugural events but not upset at all the politicians who told them he was a ‘threat to democracy’ going to these events are not serious."
She added, "Performers at least know they are there to perform and get paid, but these politicians who ran their mouth for 4 yrs and are now willing to be there and clap for him, that’s who they should be mad at. They lied to you and your criticism/anger should be rightfully directed at them."
When Collins asked about the statement Thursday night, Omar wondered why prominent members of her party, like Biden, Vice President Harris, former President Barack Obama, and others were guests at the inauguration when Trump didn't show up for Biden’s swearing-in four years ago, nor invite the new first family to the White House during the presidential transition, as is customary.
"You have to remember, Trump himself did not attend Biden's inauguration, even though he was the outgoing president that was supposed to, you know, help with that transition. They didn't have the decency to invite the Bidens to the White House," the lawmaker said.

Goes to show you no matter how despicable or un-ethical you are, in some places you’ll get elected, no matter what,
as long as you have a “D” behind your name.
Send her back.
When is this raghead ho going to be deported? She wasn’t born here. The ho needs to go. We got all the hos we need already.
Wrong AOC....
My bad.
Yes. Perhaps Tom Homan should shine his light brightly on her.
Well, it turned out that Joe Biden was able to seize the presidency in 2020 with help from the Deep State and Big Tech.
And I'm not even talking about ballot harvesting.
Go take a bath skank.
Hahahaha I love that video!
