Congresswoman Illhan Omar is up to her same old radical tricks again. Dropping what-about-isms everywhere. The Dem on Sunday called Americans hypocrites for helping Ukrainian refugees. Omar was furious and claimed that Ukraine’s refugees receive some kind of special treatment over countries like Syria and Central America.
She was way out of line and the nets were totally silent, as usual.
“Our language, our rhetoric, our policies in dealing with refugees has to change. The United States is committing to now having temporary protective status up to 18 months for Ukrainians. And, we are hopefully going to lift the refugee quota, so that we can bring in Ukrainian refugees. And, I just hope that, you know, when we are thinking about Syrians, and folks from Afghanistan, and south and Central America, our rhetoric will hopefully also shift. There are countries like Yemen, and Ethiopia that are currently experiencing devastation, and we haven’t seen the kind of care and compassion that is being used to talk about these particular refugees for those refugees who are also experiencing devastating situations as well. ”
Watch
“The consequences of flooding Ukraine with billion dollars in 🇺🇸 weapons, likely not limited to just military-specific equipment but also including small arms + ammo, are unpredictable & likely disastrous.
Specially when they are given to paramilitary groups w/out accountability.”

Well, the nets might be blind to Omar’s bull, but the people of Twitter aren’t tolerating it anymore. One user snapped:
“Easy to criticize and question. Hard to lead. What policies are you recommending? Are you saying we should not provide weapons and financial support for Ukraine?”
Omar recoiled like the snake she is:
“I support giving Ukraine the resources it needs to defend its people, I just have legitimate concerns about the size and scope. Btw, criticizing and questioning is my job as a leader and a member of Congress. It’s the hardest part of the job, trust me it’s easy to just follow”
