Omar Critics Note Her Hypocrisy After She Asks the Most Offensive Question Ever in a Congressional Hearing

What should America’s role be in Venezuela? It’s something Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Venezuela Envoy Elliott Abrams could not have been more at odds over at Wednesday’s House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing.

Omar began her questioning of Abrams by noting his involvement in the 1980s Iran-Contra Affair. He was accused of withholding information at the time but was later pardoned by President George H. W.

Omar noted how Abrams called U.S. policy in El Salvador a “fabulous achievement,” despite reports that U.S.-trained troops massacred 800 civilians and raped and killed a 12-year-old girl.
