Ilhan Omar Goes After Ben Carson. He Crushes Her with a Single Tweet

On Tuesday, radical Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) went after HUD Secretary Ben Carson, trying to ridicule him with a tweet supporting one of her fellow freshman Democrat colleagues.

But she didn't count on Dr. Carson swift and brutal response that lit up Twitter all day.

Carson had a contentious exchange with hard-left Congressman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) during which she insulted him by telling him he was “unqualified” for his job and said he was “carrying the water of what I believe to be one of the most morally bankrupt presidents in our nation’s history.”

In one particularly sharp sequence, Pressley berated Carson by reading from a script prepared by her staff -- a common tactic among herself, Rep. Occasio-Cortez and Omar.

A clearly bored and irritated Carson refused to cave, refusing to answer her and pointing out how her "questions" were clearly not her own.

Not sure he was fully awake, maybe he meant to reclaim his time back to sleep. https://t.co/t25Pta8bVY— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) May 22, 2019

Since you brought it up... I know what it's like to actually be sleepy, especially after 18-hour surgeries and operating on babies in the womb. I hope @IlhanMN knows I care about all people, even those she doesn't recognize as having a right to life. https://t.co/BRl3ibSKM3— Ben Carson (@SecretaryCarson) May 22, 2019

I really hope dems pay a severe price for this in 2020 and they lose significant numbers in the congress and the senate for unhinged radical leftists like this spewing their hatred toward good patriotic Americans.

The irony of Maxine Waters calling this hateful *itch a “gentle lady”. Nothing gentle about this affirmative action hire.

Carson could easily handle the presidency whereas the “rep” couldn’t successfully package the Fries at McD’s

He should have answered her by saying, “it’s not exactly brain surgery.”

I wouldn’t call that “crushing” her.

He was way too polite.

“GFYourself, Omar, you POS.” would be crushing. And the only thing she deserves.

Carson had it right - profanity "crushes" only its user.

The best answer to a question, as given should be “ Can you repeat the question?” Clock Management.

You gotta admit, she’s got a very punchable face.

“...profanity “crushes” only its user....”

Nope. Respectfully disagree.
In some cases, it’s justified.

“Profanity” is just words. Nothing more. Used properly and delivered skillfully and with perfect timing, it’s an art form.

Words can be weapons. There’s a time and place for any weapon to be used.

All good. We just see it differently.

How about: “I don’t even let patriotic Americans talk to me that way, Omar.”

Well, I guess ol’ Ilhan the Ignorant couldn’t march her “war on people of color” line against Dr. Carson. Anything remotely intelligent which she has said has clearly been written FOR her by her handlers. She is too dumb to have thought of or phrased them herself. Talking to her, even for the briefest of intervals, must be a torture for someone of Dr. Carson’s intellectual stature.

While Carson could have suggested that brain damage ordinarily be difficult to diagnose in a liberal, with Ilhan Omar it might as well have been tattoo’d on her forehead.
