Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is calling the ouster of Bolivian President Evo Morales a 'coup' after the socialist leader resigned from office under pressure from the military.
Omar, the 'squad' member and frequent critic and target of President Trump, made the statement after Morales, the first indigenous leader of Bolivia, left office Sunday after 14 years in power. The military had pressured him to go amid street protests.
The Organization of American States (OAS) denounced 'clear manipulations' in his reelection bid and urged new elections be held.
'There's a word for the President of a country being pushed out by the military. It's called a coup,' Omar tweeted Sunday night. 'We must unequivocally oppose political violence in Bolivia. Bolivians deserve free and fair elections,' she said. Morales, 60, flew out of La Paz and was believed to still be in Bolivia - but his exact whereabouts were unclear.

That, and whatever she was hearing growing up. I just heard that she called retiring representative King an Islamophobe. That's rich coming from someone who is unabashedly anti-Semitic.
Omar’s for commies stealing elections in the U.S., so why would she oppose commies stealing elections in Bolivia?
“Boy I never thought America would be under 24/7 assault from WITHIN.”
I sure as hell did. I went to college at ESU and saw it nearly every day. Their ‘Greatest Generation’ parents simply didn’t give a crap about it and figured it was just kids being kids.
Now they’re grown up and in power...so that’s what we’re seeing.

Stalin drove out the Trotskyites, best thing Stalin ever did was to put the ice axe in Trotsky's skull.
Apparently there is a newly discovered disease affecting freshman members of our Congress: they think they are an expert on simply everything, and they are utterly convinced that they should not deprive the world of their oracle-like wisdom. The four members most obviously suffering from this disease are popularly known as "the Squad"; they are in fierce competition with one another for which has the lowest IQ.

Peter King Pioneered the Persecution of American Muslims https://t.co/lWh0TsOo5F via @thedailybeast— Dr.Debbie Almontaser (@DebbiAlmontaser) November 12, 2019
I'm so sick of bigoted self-righteous people like her. They need to be shouted down and ridiculed every time they open their sick, hateful, ill-informed mouths.
I wonder if Muslims in the US have been persecuted more by Muslims than anyone else.
Back in 2014, Morales declared Israel a “terrorist state.”
