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."

So a criminal asylum seeker from a county with an average IQ of 65 is calling us ignorant. You can’t make this stuff up.
I have to agree with the statement that “Ignorance really is pervasive in many parts of this country”. The proof is in the areas that are shaded blue during the last election which prove that ignorance is pervasive.
Even if remotely true, I would rather be Ignorant than anti-semitic.
She’s is Minnesota.
She is quite correct especially in her state otherwise the people would have voted for someone other than a screaming muzzie
She’s is Minnesota.

Wrong. She’s is Minneapolistan. Two different worlds. .
Nowhere as pervasive as in Congress.
Barbarism is pervasive in the part of the world that spawned this mouthy wench.
Return to Somalia and take some of this positive initiative with. Her homeland can flourish quickly since there’s no racism, bigotry, and ignorance!
If you are not a muslin, you are ignorant. Her source for what she thinks... is the dweller of that pit.
From the mouth of a pure ignoramus..
“I have to agree with the statement that “Ignorance really is pervasive in many parts of this country”.”
That was the first thing that came to mind for me also.
She’s getting fitted for her vest now.
It won’t be long until she straps it on.
Well, she has a point, she was elected by a group of morons.
You don’t say...
She herself has brought down the intellectual level in Congress to minus zero....
but she's getting lots of help fom Ratshita Tlaib and AOC.
==================================
Too bad none of us were "smart" enough to marry our brother.... as Omar did....
and commit felonies to get him US citizenship and a free education using fraud.
Correction: Minnesotastan.
Thanks to Baraq Hussein 0bama, SanFran Nan, vegas mobster Harry Reid and Madam Hillary Benghzai.
The state with the distinction of being the ONLY state to go for Mondale in 1984 (plus the socialist District of Columbia).
She’s Palestinian. But returning her to Somalia would work for me.
As she was voted in as a representative of her district, I would have to agree in regards to her district.
