Omar hoping Biden speaks ‘about the rise’ in anti-Muslim bigotry in State of the Union address
The Hill ^ | 02-07-2023 | OLAFIMIHAN OSHIN

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Monday said that she hopes President Biden addresses ‘the rise and the continuation’ of anti-Muslim bigotry in the U.S. in his State of the Union address.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes,” Omar told guest host Mehdi Hasan that she thinks bigotry played a large role in her being voted off the Foreign Affairs Committee by GOP House members last week, noting how fellow Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and former President Trump have made bigoted remarks about Muslim Americans in the past.

“It precisely has to do with bigotry …,” Omar said. “These are people who certainly don’t believe Muslim immigrants, Somali immigrants, refugees — and certainly someone who carries all those identities together — should be in the United States, let alone in Congress and wield any kind of power.”

Omar also told Hasan that she would like to hear Biden address anti-muslim bigotry in his Tuesday night address to Congress, saying that Black immigrants matter and are a part of American society.

It was probably started by some godless murdering people who “did something”. Get a history book, IDIOT! Look up 9/11/2001 and have somebody explain it to your dumb ass.

If you are the only victim of bigotry, the overwhelming odds are that it's not bigotry. It's you.

BTW, is McCarthy going to follow tradition and tear up the speech? Or is it printed on Kevlar this time?

While MSM focused attention on the China balloon Biden freed one of the 9/11 terrorists, maybe he will be sitting with Omar.

“This is going to be such a cluster-you-know-what.”

I’m going to need several stiff drinks to get through it, but I doubt I’ll get through it. I’m sure the remote will be flying toward the TV.

Back when the US left South Vietnam to it’s fate, someone asked “Whom would the next war be with?”

I thought on it a little while and said.....”islam.”

Come to find out I was not the only one who foresaw that as others also said “islam.”
