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.

Wait till the Trump DOJ investigates her and revokes her citizenship.
She shouldn’t have never been here in the first place. She hates white people and she hates America.
how long will the wicked prosper oh Lord?
Can we please deport her already...
Just another Muslim invader whose duty to Islam is to invade into a country, cast doubt on the present form of government and press for establishing a Caliphate under Sharia Law,
It was biatches like Omar who murdered American soldiers and dragged their charred bodies through her Somalian sewer. Why is she allowed here?
LOW CLASS.
Unfortunately and apparently, a majority of the anti-American scumbag voters in her district do.
I was under the impression back then that Trump did not attend Biden’s inauguration because of what had happened on Jan 6th — was intended to discourage further protests that would be blamed on Trump supporters
she said it was because we were racist when we didn’t respect Obama... you mean there are other reasons why you shouldn’t respect one you disagree with? shocking
You can take the girl out of the ghetto . . .
Keep talking, babe.

What are they waiting for to deport that terrorist?
Why was this POS ever allowed to enter America?
The muzzie b*tch is a security risk.
“Brother with benefits”
The brotherboinker was talking to The XiNN Unibrow.
Yes; complete liar about her “refugee” status.
Deport this integrity-free nitwit who lied...she married her brother. Ick!
Now that deporting illegal/criminal aliens is a thing, perhaps it’s time for Team Trump to investigate this vile bitch’s family’s immigration applications. It appears that, in a brazen act of immigration fraud, she married her brother. I’d love to see her whole show come crashing down.
