Progressive Muslim woman criticized by Rep. Ilhan Omar

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has been unfairly attacked, where the truth has been altered to imply she supports al-Qaeda and terrorism and was the victim of an odious series of “send her back” tweets from the president and chants from a North Carolina crowd. Sadly, she showed she hadn’t learned much from the experience when she verbally harangued a liberal Muslim woman who asked a legitimate question at a conference.

After the sequence of frankly un-American tirades against Omar, as well as Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which resulted in actual death threats, the House of Representatives member from Minnesota published an op-ed in The New York Times titled “It is not enough to condemn Trump’s racism.” In it, Omar wrote about demagogues using their power to target enemies. She said, “The only way to push back is to be unequivocal about our values.”
