The United States Army was the villain in the “Black Hawk Down” incident in Somalia, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., wrote in a 2017 Twitter post.
Omar, a Somali native elected to Congress last fall, was responding to a tweet that falsely described the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu as the worst terrorist attack in Somali history. The original tweet noted that 19 American soldiers were killed and 73 American soldiers were wounded.
“In his selective memory, [the writer] forgets to also mention the thousands of Somalis killed by the American forces that day! #NotTodaySatan,” Omar wrote while still a Minnesota state legislator.
Omar has repeatedly generated controversy, largely for anti-Semitic statements about Israel which employed old canards about Jewish power and money. House leaders forced her to apologize in February after she tweeted “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” referring to American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) alleged spending and its purported influence on American policy.
A few fringe characters have reacted to the Omar controversies by making threats against the congresswoman. Omar is an elected official, however, and her viewpoints remain a fair point for debate despite those hateful acts.

You can thank the self loathing progressives in the NGOs and the State Department who viewed the Battle of Mogadishu not as a heroic American action against a brutal, corrupt Somali warlord but as an example of white soldiers slaughtering unfortunate Africans. Their response was to transfer these very Africans as “refugees” to far too white Minnesota to transform America. The result is the hateful Ilhan Omar. The Left will do anything it can to destroy American culture and its heritage.
should have made it a free fire zone - if it is out and moving: kill it. Streets would have cleared very quickly.
Wishful thinking.
She does her country proud, just not this one - the United States of America.
Um. Just to be a downer but mogh, the war against Christian Serbia on behalf of Muslim terrorists are all Clinton heritage wars.
The soldiers doing the dying were all hired and trained for the cold war. Clinton used them against Christians and Mogh was probably incompetence started by the moron HW Bush. So none of those wars were honorable. But the soldiers just did the job as commanded by the CIC.
You bet! It never ceases to amaze me that filth like her come here and use the freedoms they're granted to try and destroy the country that gave them refuge. I personally think that along with the deep state agents she is guilty of sedition and should be tried and punished appropriately since a lot of what she says is NOT on the floor of the house where no matter what crime you advocate you're not held responsible.
If Billy Jeff had put in a real SecDef, heavy armor “in country” would have all but avoided that “incident”.
I think I heard the Somalis killed was closer to 1600.
Just wondering, when she shows up at the Capitol building, do they search her for explosive belts?
Pretty much what happened after initial contact.
This ignorant whore neglects to add that the US was there to assist Somalis but they shot our aircraft down. They fired first and butchered and desecrated those Americans that they killed.
IMHO, not enough Skinnies were killed.
I’ve seen estimates as high as 2300. 1600 is the generally accepted number.
I own that movie. One thing I found fascinating was it seemed like every American soldier’s life was treated like gold, but the “skinnies” were treated like so many fire ants. And they were, individually, participants in their own slaughter.
“Note - I don’t support what she said at all.*
That being said, why were we there in the first place?
As it should be.
As a Christian, it makes me uncomfortable to say this, but I’m starting to understand why our forefathers used words like “japs” and “fishheads”.
And it pains me to even admit that.
Look out if she’s driving a Tesla or wearing a vest. She is very unstable.
“forgets to also mention the thousands of Somalis killed by the American forces that day!”
Well, we were just getting started!
Not bad for few days.
We’ll get the rest soon enough.
Don’t get all in a wad sugarbritches.
Yeah baby, the GAU 8 spewin’ dat hate!
No one interviewed her about the East Sunday massacre in Sri Lanka? That’s a surprise....not
IMHO God doesn’t want us to surrender our lives without a fight.
