OMAR THE MAGNIFICENT
Suppose you are a House Democrat who has been in office for 15 or 20 years, dutifully working your way up the ladder as a chair of a subcommittee, raising money for the caucus, etc, and you heart that Ihlan Omar is booked on one of the premier Sunday morning network news shows. Look, even Nancy Pelosi can’t stand Omar and the rest of the squalid “Squad.”
And then you see Omar’s shocking speech from recent days in which she declares:
“The US government will only do what Somalians in the US tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia. We Somalians must have the confidence in ourselves that we call the shots in the US.”
Here’s the key excerpt, with a longer version below in the Tweet of Somaliland’s deputy foreign minister disavowing Omar (Somaliland is apparently a breakaway province or independent entity—I am not entirely clear):

Here’s the rest of the Tweet if you don’t want to click through:
The language she employed was regrettably unbecoming of both the office she holds and the constituents she represents.
Her expressions were lacking in common decency and revealed a significant lack of understanding of basic facts. Specifically troubling, were her endeavors to revive the once-violent and dangerous ideology of Greater Somalia or Somali Weyn, which caused so much death, destruction and conflict in the Horn of Africa.
Furthermore, her use of ethno-racist rhetoric didn’t escape attention and left many, with a deep sense of disappointment.
This was particularly bewildering for those who recall similar racist attacks she endured not long ago, of being ”not American enough” and was baffling to see her take a similar approach and accuse the entire #Somaliland nation of “falsely claiming Somali identity.”
Moreover, her ignorance of #US – #Somaliland cooperation in the fight against terror and piracy in the Gulf of Aden & Gulf Of Berbera was shocking to say the least. We hope the house leadership and her caucus will take note of her public conduct, unbecoming a United States Congresswoman nor representative of the august house she serves in.
When you’ve lost the foreign ministry of Somalia. . . Here’s to hoping Trump’s deportation list just got one name longer. But failing that, I want her to remain in the House and appearing as the face of the progressive Democratic Party on the Sunday talk shows, so Democrats have to own her.
So many competing ethnicities and tribes want to direct our immigration laws, foreign aid, and foreign wars to benefit "their people" rather than America.
Expulsion?
This calls for DEPORTATION!
Horse puckey. You want a dvedrse nation without responsibilities? Go back toRome in 400 AD. And just go to the other counries you are thinking of and leave the US of A.
This is why we should have anyone with dual allegiance serving in our government anywhere.
WTF?
If the capital of Somalia (Djibouti) were to be obliterated, it would sure improve navigability as oil tankers traversed the Gulf of Aden into the Red Sea or vice versa.
Very surprised if she put Somalia ahead of Islam.
As for leaving America out, she despises America.
There are traitors among us wearing head scarfs.
Outrageous doesn’t even begin to describe the situation. At this late stage it’s really a matter of life and death for our nation. These people have infiltrated and they’re proud and confident that they can destroy us.
When Bork Obunga went over there to ask for 70000 somalis to dump on Minneapolis/St-Paul as part of his plan to wreck the US, you can be certain they did not give him 70000 of the ones that were above average....
What is the USA’s “Somalia Policy?”
We need to get rid of allowing anyone to have dual citizenships. My wife has dual citizenship and I’d be more than happy that’s removed.
miserable wretch...
SI say give these Somalians the entire State and they can turn it into a toilet like their old country as the Citizens who have allowed them to remain deserve it...
Well, Trump was right again, send her back!
EXACTLY,... x10 !
