Rep. Ilhan Omar returns home to cheers, vows to be a 'nightmare' for Trump
MSN.com ^ | July 18, 2013

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was greeted at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport by more than a hundred supporters -- constituents, organizers and well-wishers, carrying homemade "stand with Ilhan" signs welcoming her back to Minneapolis...

[snip]

"It sure feels good to be home!" she said to cheers, ahead of a Medicare-for-All town hall event with progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.

Omar was defiant, criticizing Trump’s "fascist" policies, and promised to continue standing up for her beliefs, pointing to her Medicare-for-All town hall this evening.

"Everybody is talking about that he is threatened because we criticize him," she said. "But the reality is that he is threatened because we are inspiring people to dream about a country that recognizes their dignity and humanity."

"His nightmare is seeing a Somali immigrant refugee rise to Congress," she continued. "His nightmare is seeing the beautiful mosaic fabric of our country welcome someone like me as their member of Congress home to Minnesota." "We are going to continue to be a nightmare to this president, because his policies are a nightmare to us," she said.

"We are not deterred, we are not frightened, we are ready," she said. "We are in the ring, we are in the people’s house ... we are going to continue fighting until we have the America we all deserve."

To me, she seems to be demented.

Perhaps she is playing to an audience beyond our shores.

It's not 2 people but it's not hundreds.

What IS noteworthy is that when she speaks, her back is to her constituents and she faces the press.

You know what happens to things that rise to great heights but are built on a very narrow base.

I can’t STAND what streams out of the mouth of that b*tch.

But she has every right as an American, born here or legally made an American citizen later or otherwise, under our Constitution, to say it. It may be foolish and filthy and repugnant, but she does have that right.

Maybe Loyalty Oaths for public officials has a place.

I don’t have the answer.

Oh goodie, this traitorous b**ch is going to keep shrieking about Medicare For All. This issue alone could sink the Rats in 2020.

Keep doubling down on STOOPID, Omar! It’s all good for us!

Nice to see they let the folks in the rehab program out to take a field trip to the airport.
