Illhan Omar Megathread

[Wisconsin SC Race 2019]

She really has no shame, does she. She's firmly in the mainstream of modern liberal thought, though.

She clearly is one of the most hateful Congresspersons alive. She and Steve King need to go...yesterday.

“In his selective memory, he forgets to also mention the thousands of Somalis killed by the American forces that day! #NotTodaySatan,” Omar wrote in a tweet in October 2017, uncovered Monday by John Rossomando of the Investigative Project on Terrorism.

From your fine article,

Omar was responding to another tweet about the Battle of Mogadishu, a 1993 humanitarian operation by the U.S. military that sought to save starving Somalis by preventing food and aid from being captured by enemy combatants.The battle ultimately took the lives of 19 American soldiers and wounded 73 others, and it became the subject of the famous Hollywood movie “Black Hawk Down.”

From Wikipedia

The initial U.S. Joint Special Operations force, Task Force Ranger, was a collaboration of various elite special forces units from Army Special Operations Command, Air Force Special Operations Command and Navy Special Warfare Command; it consisted mostly of members from the 75th Ranger Regiment and Delta Force. Task Force Ranger was dispatched to seize two of Aidid's high-echelon lieutenants during a meeting in the city. The goal of the operation was achieved, though conditions spiraled into the deadly Battle of Mogadishu. The initial operation of 3 October 1993, intended to last an hour, became an overnight standoff and rescue operation extending into the daylight hours of 4 October.

Please have enough respect to not source things from the Daily Caller.

Parse words all you want, but there's enough "near-misses" by Omar when it comes to Anti-American/Anti-Semitic/Pro-Islamist comments that it's starting to resemble a pattern.

The obsession with Omar is creepy and dangerous not to mention crazy. Like Byron Looper and Julia Van Orden crazy.

Perhaps, she can stop aligning with enemies of democracy. Her comments have continually shown themselves to be creepy and dangerous. She deserves every flack she gets.

This is coming from the same woman who scoffed at 9/11. The selective outrage in her is frightening. 

[Wisconsin SC Race 2019]

Why not be more concerned about the blood of living children being slaughtered by guns? Those only get thoughts and prayers and "well we want our guns so it's ok".

The what-aboutism strong here. I'm anti-gun and pro-American...and the likes of Omar being in any committee positions frightens me.

Again, the obsession is creepy and dangerous. Nothing she has said warrants death threats and if you believe that then you need to be visited by the police...

I haven't personally sent her death threats, so I'm good. By "flack" I meant "criticism". None of my comments even equate to inciting violence. Calm down; It's a forum.

I think we should make a megathread for this kinda faux-outrage against Omar. This is like, what, the 5th thread about Omar that is detached from reality?

Perhaps, she needs to attach herself to reality on the many that had died in 9/11 or Black Hawk Down or the nature of Anti-Semitism in this world...then threads like these would stop.
