Stow that left-wing outrage sailor. This is a story about Democrat Ilhan Omar that is not about her antisemitism. Politico reports that the Minnesota Congresswoman had some unflattering things to say about Mr. Trump’s predecessors. In a long detailed look at two districts in the state, Omar is candid about her take on Mr. Obama’s “legacy.“
“We can’t be only upset with Trump. … His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies.
That includes the Lightbringer, Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama.
As she saw it, the party ostensibly committed to progressive values had become complicit in perpetuating the status quo. Omar says the “hope and change” offered by Barack Obama was a mirage. Recalling the “caging of kids” at the U.S.-Mexico border and the “droning of countries around the world” on Obama’s watch, she argues that the Democratic president operated within the same fundamentally broken framework as his Republican successor.
“We can’t be only upset with Trump. … His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. They just were more polished than he was,” Omar says. “And that’s not what we should be looking for anymore. We don’t want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished. We want to recognize the actual policies that are behind the pretty face and the smile.”
The Politico piece is long so you may not want to wade through it. But Omar is far-left politically. Except when it comes to women covering themselves because men make them do it. Feel free to debate that conundrum in comments along with the words above.
And keep in mind that her belief system is a form of theological tyranny that has more in common with the goals of the left. State control of human behavior at every level.
