Is Ilhan Omar a Communist? The congresswoman invokes her idol and inspiration: Angela Davis.
Now there’s a headline to make progressives light their hair on fire. Few things set off liberals quite like anti-communism. Pro-communism doesn’t bother them much, at least not enough to openly complain. But anti-communism? One whiff of it sends them hyperventilating into howls of McCarthyism. The same seems true nowadays for socialism, as evident when Donald Trump devoted a mere line or two to it in his State of the Union. Judging from liberal hysteria, one would think Trump had announced a resurrection of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. What a shameless Red-baiter!
That brings me to Ilhan Omar, stalwart member of the Democratic Socialists of America, which describes itself as “the largest socialist organization in the United States.” Read: “socialist,” even as self-described “democratic socialists” insist that they eschew the label “socialist.”
Speaking of which, what is Ilhan Omar? How far left is she?
The short answer is we genuinely don’t know — yet. The more we learn, however, the more we beg the question. It would be valuable if a liberal reporter, in a friendly interview, sat down for a deep dive into what she believes. My sense over only the last few months is that Ilhan Omar may be the most extreme-left member of Congress, as judging from positions on everything from taxes to Israel, from wealth distribution to Venezuela. She soared further left than anyone on the Democrat radar — blowing by Bernie, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren — by calling for literally a 90% tax rate. That was 20% more than what even Miss Democratic Socialist USA, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, had proposed a week earlier.

And these 2 paragraphs near the end are worth noting:
"And what they are finding? Omar might well be to the left of Bernie Sanders."
"Speaking of which, Bernie is being asked hard questions about his radical past. Even the Washington Postlast week published a serious article examining Bernie’s 1988 Soviet honeymoon. Others have looked at Bernie’s statements on Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been asked respectfully about her views on socialism, including in probing interviews by the likes of Margaret Hoover. Given what we’ve been hearing almost weekly from Omar, and now seeing her stunning self-identification with Angela Davis, it behooves some of our “journalists” to have a heart-to-heart with her."
Is the Pope a Communist?
They ALL are..the ONLY one that might have some hope to be sane in the Commie left party is Senator Sinema, yeah she was the ONLY Dem who tweeted support for Israel, the ONLY Dem..she is an odd duck but I tell ya what, I commend her for standing firm on her support for Israel
[That brings me to Ilhan Omar, stalwart member of the Democratic Socialists of America]
Great job, Minnesota Democrats.
Really great job.
As usual....
She may or may not be a communist but she certainly is an idiot.
I’ll bet old Mussolini has a slightly-different opinion these days.
These days...

Wonder if she was in on Nellie’s ham radio communications net?

She’s distinctly anti-American, of which her district should be ashamed of, but obviously isn’t.
I think the girl is surrounded by her tribe.
She has a good chance of a job for life.
Unless they send some people back to Africa.
