Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) on Tuesday castigated supporters of President Donald Trump by claiming America's problem with ignorance is "pervasive." Omar appeared on the Nation’s "Next Left" podcast with host John Nichols to discuss various issues, including the intelligence of Trump supporters. "So suddenly you’re elected, and you had this teaching moment. It strikes me that, in watching you, you are conscious of teaching moments and of that opportunity to say something that might cause people to think differently about what’s going on," Nichols said. Omar said U.S. voters "have a misconception" about refugees and the process they face getting into the United States. She went on to specifically target Republicans in her criticism, saying they "are really good at misinformation and sort of really reorganizing facts to sort of paint a picture that really eventually is not rooted in facts." She said Minnesota Republicans who want to stop refugees from coming to the state spread misinformation about how refugee resettlement works. "There are agencies that run the resettlement program. This is a process that’s run through them. If you end that contract, it’s not that refugees are not going to be resettled, it’s that the state just doesn’t get informed," Omar said. "And so the only leverage you have is that you are part of this contract and you can be part of the negotiations on how many people get resettled in your state." "And so it is not that they might not be knowledgeable about this, but they use it as a tool to stir up hate and division. And ignorance really is pervasive in many parts of this country. And as someone who was raised by educators, I really like to inform people about things that they might be ignorant to, willingly or unwillingly," Omar continued. Omar is far from the first to assert that Republicans gain support by taking advantage of the supposed backwardness of everyday Americans. CNN political commentator Kirsten Powers said last November that Trump's supporters were racist, and former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean equated his voter base to Neo-Nazis burning a swastika. Rep. Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) said earlier this year that Trump supporters are "older, less educated, less prosperous, and dying early." Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton also attacked Trump supporters during the 2016 campaign by saying half of them belong in a "basket of deplorables."
She is only demonstrating her own ignorance and stupidity and lack of caring for her own constituents.
Is it possible to be less educated than Hank Johnson?
There's something sinister about this rag-head whining for "civil rights".....complaining about Christians in a decidedly Christian country like America.
Why do Muslims need America to legitimize themselves?
This rag-head whines about her "challenge" to make sure "her (gag) people" feel represented.
Balderdash------Islam is all about "triumphalism".....getting power over infidels.
The word “Islam” means submission.
These people are plotting, lying-in-wait to force submission to Islam and to install Sharia law in our nation. ....using our Congress and our laws.
We cannot rest til these people are unceremoniously kicked out of our country.
============================
Arch-typical Muslim----full of guile, malice, hatred and venality. She'll say anything to get her way. Her "nice act" is pathetic. Her unmitigated contempt for American intelligence is appalling.
======================================
Islam is an existential threat to all of us epitomzied by this creepy Minnesota Somali Muslim woman in OUR Congress. Says she will thwart Muslim hatred with “her love."
Yeah, sure. We got a large dose of "Islam’s love" on 9/11. So she can keep her lousy love…..and just GTH out of our country.
I have an M.A. and graduated Summa Cum Laude. My wife is a former illegal immigrant who earned residency, and, then citizenship. One of my sons is married to a minority. My skill set is not going to be laid out here, because one of her followers will figure out who I am and kill me. Try to accuse me of ignorance and racism to my face. You will be found to be a fool.
If only someone would provide funding for an ad/ads and a way to get a public forum for a short time, I could close her mouth forever. Failure of someone with means to help get the needed message out tells me most of the wealthy people are satisfied with what is going on.
She is right. It was ignorant to allow Somalis into America.
Hateful nasty antisemitic skank.
There aren’t enough adjectives to adequately describe what a worthless POS she is.
Omar proves elitist condescending narcissism is pervasive in this country.
ignorance is “pervasive...in congress.
what an ungrateful little sh—— .... the pervasive ignorance is up there in Little Mogadishu.
Inbred, Jew hating, retarded Somali skank thinks I am ignorant? To hell with her and her brother she married.
I love being insulted by low-IQ politicians.
This is the person that David Duke thinks is the bees knees.
bttt
Try attacking Islam in a Muslim country. That’s the difference between Muslims and Christians. Turn the tables and she’d be burned at the stake.
Yeah imagine someone voting for a candidate in an incestuous marriage.
Ilhan.....do you mind if I just call you Ill?
Ill, what you lack in wisdom you more than make up for with arrogance.
Tucker Carlson called the self-proclaimd Somali refugee “someone who hates our country” and who came to the US “at public expense,” noting that she's “demanding the abolition of ICE, the decriminalization of illegal immigration itself, and an end to all deportation programs.”
“She demands open borders, the unlimited arrival of anyone who wants to come to America, whether they have anything to contribute or not; and taxpayers get to pay for it. And if you don’t want to, according to "the African" you’re a bigot,” Carlson said.
Tucker referenced Omar as “a symbol of America’s failed immigration system if there ever was one.” (Excerpt) Read more at bizpacreview.com ...
===========================
HER LOYALTY TO SOMALIA IS BIG AND BOLD ---Democrat Omar complained on the floor of the US Congress that President Trump has dramatically intensified American airstrikes in her native Somalia that have killed hundreds of members of the al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabaab.
REALITY CHECK I guess her Somali BIL gave her the script. Read on.
Omar’s brother-in-law, a Somalia official, tweeted on March 4: “Road to 2020/21 and national issues in #Somalia - current political agreement (4.5) is decaying, yet main governance systems/structures are not in place: constitution is incomplete, justice system poor, security absent, political parties not there...what gives?!”
This is embedded with some sort of creepy Muslim code......probably for more US foreign aid.....
Omar got her BIL a top job in the Somali administration. Read on.
=======================================
Democrat Cong Clyburn said Omar "told him" she was born in Somalia, and had to flee the country to escape Somali violence,
and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the US.....this according to Clyburn.
===========================================
Then why, as a frightened Somali given refuge in America, did she hurry back to Somalia to get her BIL a job?
================================
This creepy Somali Muslim woman in our Congress has a hidden agenda no one could ever imagine.Omar has world-wide terrorist connections.
BACKSTORY-- Just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature,
Ilhan left her American refuge to travel to her homeland she says she "fled in fear".
She was with then-Pres Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a Somali favorite for re-election.
He reportedly invited her to appear beside him prior to the Somali election taking place.
That's the "frightened lady" pictured chit-chatting, setting up her foreign policy $$$$ Somali agenda.
No Longer "Fearful," elected US state rep Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later,
Omar's Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Administration. The US foreign aid is about to pour in.
What was the deal she made with the corrupt-ridden Somali govt? Are the violent Somalians she once fled,
privy to US security reports from Omar's current position on the Congressional Foreign Affair Committee?
You better believe it, guys.
==================================
A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance.
Deport this corrupt Muslim. She is poison to the people of America.
And Minnesota's 5th Congressional District is a prime example of that.
