Media Pounces on Edited Video of Ilhan Omar’s Comments Against White Men — but the Unedited Version Is Worse

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A viral video of comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is being criticized by the left and the media because it was unfairly edited, but the unedited version is arguably worse.

The edited video appears to show Omar advocating for increased surveillance on white males in the United States rather than Muslims because they are a greater threat.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was among those who shared the video, adding, “I am sure the media will now hound every Democrat to denounce this statement as racist. Right?”

. . .

Many criticized Rubio for posting an edited video that misrepresented her full remarks. In the unedited version, she adds the hypothetical “if fear were the driving force” to her statement.

“And so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men,” she says in the unedited version.

Ilhan Omar Splits From Second Husband as Questions About Marital History Heats Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has reportedly split from her second husband and is headed for divorce as questions continue to mount about her marital history, according to the exclusive reporting of The Daily Mail.

“The bust-up comes just as critics are demanding answers as to whether she married her own brother in a successful bid to get him into the United States,” The Daily Mail reported. “Omar has now dumped her current husband Ahmed Hirsi – who she first married in a religious ceremony in 2002 and divorced in 2008 – and moved into a penthouse apartment in one of Minneapolis’s trendiest neighborhoods, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.” . . .

The Daily Mail says that they were told by a family friend that Hirsi only goes to Omar’s home “when Ilhan is in DC.” . . .

Earlier this week Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint to David Skaggs, Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Office of Congressional Ethics, “calling for a full investigation into potential crimes tied to allegations that Rep. Ilhan Omar may have married her biological brother.” . . .

The allegations recently resurfaced and have started to gain traction in the media after the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board ordered Omar “to repay her state House campaign committee nearly $3,500 in funds used in violation of law, as well as pay to the state a $500 civil penalty,” The Hill reported. “But the report issued by the board also revealed that Omar and her current husband Ahmed Hirsi filed joint tax returns in 2014 and 2015, while Omar was still legally married to another man, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar Splits From Second Husband as Questions About Marital History Heats Up” HERE)

WATCH: Ilhan Omar ‘Disgusted’ by Muslim Woman Asking Her to Condemn FGM

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) lambasted a female Muslim audience member Tuesday for asking her to renounce female genital mutilation (FGM), a practice common in Omar’s native Somalia.

Omar was reportedly taking questions an event for the Muslim Collective for Equitable Democracy event when Muslim audience member Ani Osman-Zonneveld of Muslims for Progressive Values asked Omar to condemn FGM.

Omar said she was “disgusted” by people who ask Muslim politicians specific questions on issues and groups embraced by extreme members of their religion – such as FGM, al-Qaeda, and Hamas – and called it a “waste” of time.

“I am, I think, quite disgusted I think to be honest that as Muslim legislators, we are constantly being asked to waste our time speaking to issues that other people are not asked to speak to because of the assumption exist that we somehow support and are for [the issue],” Omar said, according to BuzzFeed News.

She urged audience members to think twice before asking Muslim lawmakers questions, pressing them to ensure that it is a “proper question that they would probably ask any member of Congress, any legislator, [or] any politician.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar ‘Disgusted’ by Muslim Woman Asking Her to Condemn FGM” HERE)

Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar Suggested Deporting Opponents in Old Tweets

/0 Comments/in , /by

Old tweets from far-left Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) resurfaced on Tuesday that appears to show them suggesting that their political opponents should be deported, which comes on the heels of the media portraying them as victims of President Donald Trump’s attacks on them.

In a tweet unearthed by former Democratic New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, Tlaib tweeted the following about Trump in 2015: “Deport this a–hole!” . . .

Another tweet unearthed by Hikind, this time from Omar, shows the far-left congresswoman suggesting to an opponent that they should be deported. The context for the tweet is not clear as it was a response to another person’s tweet that does not appear to be available anymore.

Omar has called Trump racist in recent days over a series of tweets in which Trump said that the far-left congresswomen — if they are going to bash the U.S. — should go back to their countries that have a lot of problems and then come back to the U.S. and show America how to be perfect.

Omar Has Another Far-Fetched Opinion About Trump’s Take on Minorities and Muslims

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has had an ongoing feud with members of “The Squad,” made up for Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlabid (D-MI) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). On Friday evening, Omar, once again, responded to President Trump’s claim that if “The Squad” doesn’t like living in America, they are more than welcome to leave.

Omar interpreted that as Trump wanting every black and brown person in America to be deported and for Muslims to be banned.

Trump never said he wanted all people of color to be deported or for Muslims to be banned in America. That is Omar’s interpretation of things and, quite honestly, they’re worthy of an eye roll or two.

President Trump Says He ‘Was Not Happy’ With Crowd Chanting ‘Send Her Back’ at Campaign Rally

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump on Thursday distanced himself from supporters who chanted “send her back” at his campaign rally in North Carolina after the president criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

While speaking with reporters in the Oval Office, Trump was asked why he didn’t ask his supporters to stop the chant. “Well, number one, I think I did, I started speaking very quickly,” Trump said. “I disagree with it, by the way, but it was quite a chant.”

“I felt a little bit badly about it,” the president added. “I was not happy with it. I disagree with it.”

During the Wednesday evening rally in Greenville, N.C., the crowd erupted into chants of “send her back” after the president remarked on Omar, a Muslim Somali immigrant, laughing at Americans who say “al Quaeda” in a menacing tone and her refusal to condemn the terrorist group.

“Omar laughed that Americans speak of al Qaeda in a menacing tone and remarked that ‘you don’t say “America” with this intensity,’” Trump said to boos and jeers from the audience. “You say al Qaeda makes you proud, you don’t speak that way about America,” he continued. As he continued to criticize Omar, the crowd erupted into chants of “send her back.”

Omar did not say she is “proud” of al Qaeda, but in a 2013 video to which the president appears to be referring, she did joke about people saying “al Qaeda” and “Hezbollah” in harsh tones.

The chant has been condemned by several Republican officials, while other GOP leaders are defending the president. Asked about the incident Thursday, House Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said the president “didn’t join in” and criticized the media for trying to hold Trump accountable for actions taken by his large crowd.

This controversy follows widespread criticism and accusations of racism against President Trump for weekend tweets suggesting that progressive congresswomen including Omar should “go back” to countries they “originally came from.” Trump denied that his tweets were racist and insisted that “Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel, and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said.” (For more from the author of “President Trump Says He ‘Was Not Happy’ With Crowd Chanting ‘Send Her Back’ at Campaign Rally” please click HERE)

What Ilhan Omar Just Said About the Anti-Israel BDS Movement and the Boston Tea Party Should Strip Her of Committee Seat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. llhan Omar (D-MN) is doing what she does best: ruffle the feathers of everyone and peddling her anti-Semitic agenda on the Hill. She’s trash. Pure and simple, but sits on the House Foreign Relations Committee, which brought forward a non-binding resolution condemning the anti-Israel Boycotts, Disinvestments, and Sanctions movement. Omar, in true fashion, defended the movement and compared it to the Boston Tea Party. She also referred to Israel as an occupier regarding the current state of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) wasn’t having any of her nonsense, but it didn’t stop her from introducing a resolution that counters the one passed by the committee. The BDS crew was quite pleased (via NRO):

We are introducing a resolution . . . to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” Omar told Al-Monitor. “And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”

The announcement comes on the same day that the House Foreign Affairs Committee, on which Omar sits, plans to vote on another non-binding resolution explicitly condemning the BDS movement as an attempt to “undermine the two state solution” by demanding “concessions of one party alone and encourag[ing] Palestinians to reject negotiations in favor of international pressure.”

The anti-BDS resolution further notes that the movement’s founder, Omar Bharghouti, has openly dismissed the possibility of reaching any settlement that allows the state of Israel to retain its sovereignty.

Omar is expected to cast the lone vote against the anti-BDS resolution, further highlighting the divide between herself and the panel’s older, more-established lawmakers, who have condemned her comments about Israel in the past.

Watch: Trump Brings up Allegations That Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump brought up the allegations that far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) married her brother to a group of reporters on Wednesday before boarding Marine One for his rally tonight.

A reporter asked Trump a question about Omar and Trump replied: “There’s a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it. … I’m sure that somebody would be looking at that.”

Questions about Omar’s marital history have repeatedly been in the news as multiple news organizations have asked Omar to provide documents and answer specific questions that could clear up any controversy. Omar has refused to answer any questions about the matter.

Last month, the Star Tribune reported that “new investigative documents released by a state agency have given fresh life to lingering questions about the marital history of Rep. Ilhan Omar and whether she once married a man — possibly her own brother — to skirt immigration laws.”

“Sent a list of questions and a request to talk to her siblings and father, Omar declined to do so,” the Tribune added. “Omar declined to make her tax and immigration records available for this report. … Omar’s relatives could also clear the air, but they have remained silent about her marriage … She declined to make her family available for this story.”

The RNC Just Torched Ocasio-Cortez And Her ‘Squad’s’ Presser By Rehashing All The Things That Back Up What Trump Said About Them

/0 Comments/in , /by

This crew was throwing punches at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but President Trump decided to insert himself into the intra-Democratic Party conflict, telling the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wing of the party that they can leave if they’re unhappy with America. That set off a meltdown across the liberal media establishment. The accusations of racism and xenophobia were hurled once again. After hours of simmering, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) said they weren’t going to take Trump’s bait, but then decided to chomp down hook, line, and sinker, with Omar wholeheartedly endorsing the impeachment of Donald trump solely on the basis that he beat Hillary Clinton and didn’t like what he said about them on Twitter. Yes, they peddled the same trash liberal talking points, but impeachment seems to be their main unveiling, which isn’t a shocker, while reaffirming the progressive left that they’re still feisty.

Poll Reveals How Dems Really Feel About AOC, Ilhan Omar

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new internal Democrat poll in swing districts released on Sunday showed that socialist Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are extremely unpopular and that they may cost the Democratic Party the presidency and the House in 2020.

“Ocasio-Cortez was recognized by 74% of voters in the poll; 22% had a favorable view,” Axios reported. “Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — another member of The Squad — was recognized by 53% of the voters; 9% (not a typo) had a favorable view.” . . .

A top Democrat involved in the 2020 congressional races told Axios: “If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the [House] majority at risk. [S]he’s getting all the news and defining everyone else’s races. Socialism is toxic to these voters.” . . .

“A Quinnipiac poll released on Thursday morning found that 23 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the member of Congress, while 36 percent had an unfavorable view — a -13 overall approval rating,” Vox reported in March. “This new poll isn’t a one-off finding. Three prior surveys — one in January from Morning Consult, one in February from Fox, and a third in mid-March from Gallup — all found that more Americans had negative views of AOC than had positive ones.”

A NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll from March found that, of socialism in general, “only 18% of respondents approved, while 50% of respondents disapproved.” (Read more from “Poll Reveals How Dems Really Feel About AOC, Ilhan Omar” HERE)
