Ilhan Omar still calls Somalia her country
American Thinker ^ | 07/24/2019 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 07/24/2019 11:05:17 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Does Ilhan Omar represent the Fifth Congressional District of Minnesota?  That's her official job.  But buried in the back of her mind, ready to spring out in unguarded or stressful moments, seems to be the notion that her real country is Somalia.

Streiff of Red State notes that there is a pattern of her speaking of Somalia, which she left at about age 8, as her country, not the nation from which she draws a substantial salary and whose constitution she is sworn to protect.

Chris Berg on Twitter spotted a Freudian slip that Omar quickly caught, when she returned to MSP Airport last week, to be greeted by 100 or so cheering supporters.  The fact that she corrected herself is significant, indicating that she realizes that she must present a false front to her ostensible constituents in Minnesota.

LISTEN CLOSELY to @IlhanMN freudian slip here when she got back to MSP last night.
So does she identify as an American or a Somalian?

And Streiff posts another example from 2015 in which, speaking to the "Revolution Somali Youth League," she called Somalia "our nation."

Ilhan Omar addressing the Revolution Somali Youth League in 2015:

You guys have the ability to impact where our nation is headed....

So, when President Trump tweeted about going back, perhaps he referred to the back of her mind.

I have another country as well; so do probably a lot of Americans. But if I were an elected official I would never, ever, ever voice such a statement. The words “our country” would not have happened. My country of origin, my family’s heritage, etc. would all work fine.

Omar defended the right of Somalis not to assimilate: “Most people I know keep and maintain their culture,” she said, adding, “[d]on’t expect us to change either. We have as much right to be here as you.”

68 sounds generous.

Ilhan Omar represents the Fifth Column District of Minnesota
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Not Minnesota. She represents Minneapolistan.

What is rather telling and of great concern is that she is overwhelmingly loved, adored, and supported by 95% plus of the Somali immigrants in her district I’m going to bet.
THese people clearly aren’t looking for a better life in America, they want America to be like Somalia.

This country has no place for invading immigrants!

I’m a proud American that was a foreign born immigrant.

They look confused. So I can understand this dual-loyalty (although the American part of that is minimal indeed) faux pas that this critter made. It is very common of people who don’t think of themselves as Americans
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Precisely why the founders excluded the children of foreign nationals with the natural born citizen clause.
Natural born citizens are born here of two citizen parents.

Omar is a citizen and these kids and their parents are often citizens.

Citizen is not the same as natural born citizen as evidenced by Article II sec 1 of the Constitution.

Interesting comments.

Further down in the tweets, she’s asked about condemning FGM and she evades it and refuses to do it.

Watched a movie of a Ship that was taken by Somalian Pirates. They had a lot of people speaking Somalian, based on a true story. I felt real sorry for the Somalian people. They have a real inferior culture, screaming obsenities at each other

A very, very common refrain from the current crop of immigrants is: “ In my country....”

It is. America is just her ATM because Somalia has nothing worth looting.

68 would be a gifted moron. You need 50 or below to qualify as an imbecile, I think.

Be sure to watch Somalian Idol on Netflix.
A team of contestants is sent out to beg
and one is dropped from the team every
week, usually to starvation. The last
Somalian standing at the final show
wins a comb.
