The Congresswoman Who Forgot Which Flag She Serves

Representative Ilhan Omar didn't misspeak when she recently took the stage in Minneapolis and called Somalia "our home" and its president "our president." Omar again revealed what many Americans have long suspected: Her allegiance lies elsewhere.

Her unguarded confession was no mere slip of the tongue. What else would make President Donald Trump waste no time in his Truth Social response: "She should go back!"

As if on cue, the same pundits who've spent years gaslighting the public over open borders and identity politics clutched their pearls because of the vapors they caught.

The larger point is that Trump's typical bluntness hit a nerve because it wasn't just political; it was moral.

He said out loud what millions had been thinking.

Long before she took the oath of office, Omar had been caught in a pattern of behavior that showed this wasn't an isolated episode. She described 9/11 as "some people did something," and labeled U.S. troops as occupiers rather than liberators. The disdain she's had for the country giving her refuge and power has been out in front for the entirety of her career.

All we hear in her voice is resentment, not gratitude or loyalty. When her lips move, we don't hear from an immigrant who's proud to have escaped a failed state, but from a blackguard who resents the nation that saved her.

Liberty wasn't Omar's goal when fleeing tyranny. When she fled dysfunction, she felt she earned the right to lecture Americans about their allegic sins and shortcomings.

Gawd I would love to see her deported.

The press would light itself on fire if a Republican congressman declared allegiance to Israel, Poland, or Ireland. But when a darling of the far left does it, the media nods approvingly, calling it "multicultural pride" and labeling anyone offended as xenophobic. It's a formula that's familiar: invoke diversity to excuse disloyalty and brand critics as racists. All it ends up being is cowardice wrapped in moral plundering.

The press isn't protecting Ilhan Omar because they believe she's right; they're protecting her because she's useful. They're allowed to virtue signal because she ridicules the country that made her possible.

[Rummyfan]

When Trump said, "She should go back," he wasn't speaking entirely out of spite. He was illustrating the absurdity of a U.S. congresswoman who is glorifying the government of a failed state while belittling the one she serves.

Trump's words made the political class recoil because they punctured their bubble of moral relativism.

[Omnivore-Dan]

Send her back to the hell hole she came from along with her brother/husband.

[Flaming Conservative]

Which one? There are several.

[Rummyfan]

America took in people like Ilhan Omar, fed and educated them, and gave them a voice in government. In Omar's case, she repaid it with bitterness and betrayal. She isn't a paragon of courage; she's opportunism draped in a headscarf.

When she called Somalia "our home" and its president "ours," she reminded America what happens when gratitude is replaced by grievance.

Take such people in, give them opportunities undreamed of in their wastelands, literally give them a chance at life ... add what do they do? They turn on you!

[rollo tomasi]

Look at GWB’s (Rebub) years in allowing these cultural destroyers to resettle in the US. They had no intention of assimilating, just conquering, especially Christian ideals/identity.

Here is someone who is BITING the hands that feed her- OURS. I only hope she gets bitten back, and soon.

Most of them have allegiances elsewhere and should be hung from the lamppost in front of their home office until the locals select a patriotic servant whos first task is to cut the previous one down as a reminder.

YOU SAID IT!!

[larrytown]

Just another real human example of the story of the viper in the snow, or the scorpion and the frog.

[Rummyfan]

Most of them have allegiances elsewhere and should be hung from the lamppost in front of their home office ....

I think that is what it will come to.

[gibsonguy]

Yep just look at 2004. No wonder Michele loved this weak loser.

[Yulee]

and called Somalia “our home” and its president “our president.”
******************
I believe that statement is in violation of her oath of citizenship. As such, she should have her citizenship stripped and be deported to her previous home in Somalia.

[Mastador1]

What a an erroneous headline, Little Mogadishu never once forgot the flag she serves, why would the author ever think it was other than Somalia’s……and the Koran.

[Libloather]

She’s the one who married her brother.

[Bikkuri]

She needs braces.

[South Dakota]

Omar went to the north Dakota state university for political science
I’m betting it was on our nickel
