Never forget her two most famous quotes:

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is in Iowa doing last-minute campaigning on behalf of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). During an event in Clive Iowa, Omar explained how her idea of the "American Dream" were shattered once she came to America.
“When I first came to the United States, I remember one of the first things that I saw was homeless people sleeping on the sides of Manhattan when we arrived in New York. And I remember turning to my father and saying, 'This doesn't look like the America you promised.' And my father looked at me and said, 'Hush, child, we are going to get to our America,'" Omar recounted. "Because the America we were shown in the orientation tapes when we were coming here from the refugee camp in Kenya had beautiful homes with white picket fences, happy families eating a full meal in their beautiful living rooms. It had happy children getting on the bus to go to their beautiful schools. It had pictures of amazing malls, megamalls, and had pictures of beautifully built bridges and highways. It was a picture of abundance. Now that is the ideal."
"That is the America we all know we deserve but our reality is full of homeless people. Our reality is full of families who have moms and dads who are going without dinner or lunch or breakfast just so that they can have enough for their children," she explained. "Our reality is full of kids who are showing up to schools that are full of mold and leaking rooftops. Our reality has children who are facing drills every single day to learn about how they can escape being shot in our schools."
Omar seems to forget that the areas that are being overrun with homeless people – like San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City – are all cities under Democratic mayors and legislators. Homelessness isn't a new phenomenon. L.A. has always had "Skid Row," an area in downtown that has become infamous because of its condensed homeless population. Democrats continually cite areas like Skid Row or even Downtown San Francisco as an area they want to "clean up" and "fix." What do they do? Throw our taxpayer dollars at the problem but they never get to the root cause of the issue and why people are homeless to begin with. Is it because people fell on hard times and couldn't afford a house or an apartment? Did someone get involved in drugs and they're living on the streets so the money they'd spend on housing can go towards their drug habit? Does mental illness play a role in a person's instable living conditions?
In fact, Dr. Drew Pinsky has repeatedly said the people on Los Angeles' streets are people who are "chronically mentally ill" and they fail to receive treatment. That's a place for Democrats to start instead of launching poop patrols like San Francisco did.
Instead of coming to America and blaming the country for not living up to hear fantasy, Omar should be looking at her party for failing to give her and her family the "American Dream" they were promised.
It’s a shame this POS didn’t drown in steerage on her trip over.
Inside the World's Worst Hellhole
Somalia, the Perfect Failed State
People benefit by living in a society if the people create the right kind of society. Leftard loons create the wrong kind of society where people are trained to be parasites.
LOL! Guess she could always go back to the hell hole called the Middle East. What a Democrat.
Never forget her two most famous quotes:
Note tagline!
I remember going to your sh*thole “country” you Skinny b*tch and saying “what a sh*thole” but Americans gave their lives for it. You scum make sh*tholes. You scum own every sh*thole American city. Go BACK to your sh*thole.
For those who think everyone is mentally ill that is homeless, the following you will find interesting:
Less than half of all homeless people have any type of mental illness.
“According to a 2015 assessment by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 564,708 people were homeless on a given night in the United States. At a minimum, 140,000 or 25 percent of these people were seriously mentally ill, and 250,000 or 45 percent had any mental illness. By comparison, a 2016 study found that 4.2 percent of U.S. adults have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness.”
Omar needs to get a REAL job and work and pay full taxes and get no freebees from Govt and then maybe she can have much of all she was hown in the”orientation” tapes before coming here.
What the heck are they being shown/promised all this stuff in “orientation” tapes?
All those places are run by Dems.
Psychopath. End of story.
My American dream is indicting her prosecuting her and shipping her a## back to her sh##hole country with her luggage only
