House Democrats today rallied around a resolution to condemn President Donald Trump’s racist tweets against four high-profile freshmen congresswomen.

But at least one of those congresswomen — Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — is about to drop her own resolution that may not go over so well with Democratic leadership. Her resolution would defend the pro-Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

“We are introducing a resolution … to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” Omar told Al-Monitor. “And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”

Yeah, weird combination. Pretty, though.

IIRC, she sent money for vests for the IDF. Plus did ads for an Israeli company.

And then supports Obama...

Wow, what a scumbag. That individual was no friend, especially to say that about your mother.

This is Omar and Co., Inc., thumbing her nose at the same ‘colleagues’, tricked into virtue-signaling a vote to label our president a racist to defend her hallowed honor.

Like I said “This will not be like the last Civil War” where families and friends reconciled.

This is over subjects imbeciles wouldn’t waste their time with
