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."

If we had a real news media and not a Soviet propaganda arm of the Demonrat party, this would be fully reported on and investigated.

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

The America she deserves is one that is 5,000 miles away and that occasionally conducts Lockheed Martin product demonstrations in her village.
