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...

"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."

“we are going to continue fighting until we have the America we all deserve.”

Your vision of what America “deserves” doesn’t comport with that of Americans, bitch.

My prediction - if, God forbid, Trump loses, Omar and the 4 will win the Nobel Peace prize and become immortalized in history textbooks for ridding us of the Trump nightmare.

MSN is giving her a pass on supporting the racist “Indian’ who taunted the Covington Catholic students with jeers of “Go back to Europe” because being white is reason enough to have to leave.

She tweeted support for him and attacked the kids. She later deleted her tweet.

Same stalinist sh!t, different day

Fake. She has claimed she has been threatened. The likelihood anybody knew the flight details is nearly zero. That people were there to meet the plane means her handlers coordinated it with state party leaders. Likely payments transpired to encourage attendance.

Actually; I would love to see them get exactly what they deserve. It would be very different than what they have in mind though.

I did a careful count of the people in that picture, and I count 58 in the crowd, plus five definite "members of the press."

There may be some behind the signs that I couldn't see; perhaps ten or twelve. That would make the crowd size about 70. There may also be a few reporters in the extreme foreground; probably another five or so.

Total crowd size about eighty, with about 70 actual supporters.

What’s with the yellow vests? Are these refugees from France?

They may be her staff members. The yellow vests identify them to her.

The only thing big about their Jihad Squad is their mouths. Yes; they have big mouths and they talk too much.

Having representatives in DC that hate America, its people, and its culture is simply not acceptable. In other words dems suck.
