Likely incoming Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has said that he plans to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over her troublesome habit of making anti-Semitic statements, and now the winsome Omar has struck back–not, of course, by apologizing for her anti-Semitism and vowing to make amends, but by accusing McCarthy and the Republican Party in general of (surprise!) “Islamophobia,” “racism” and more. To the man who has only a hammer, every problem looks like a nail, and to Ilhan Omar, everyone who opposes her must be an “Islamophobe” and a racist. After all, why else would anyone possibly stand against such a patriotic, accomplished, and eloquent legislator as she?
Omar issued a statement Monday complaining that “from the moment I was elected, the Republican Party has made it their mission to use fear, xenophobia, Islamophobia and racism to target me on the House Floor and through millions of dollars of campaign ads.”
As completely predictable as this claim is, it warrants scrutiny. Omar is trying to give the impression that the Republicans have used “fear, xenophobia, Islamophobia and racism” against her on a regular basis. Really? Has anyone in the Republican Party ever stated that Ilhan Omar should be opposed because she wasn’t born in the United States? Has any Republican ever said that the problem with Ilhan Omar is that she is a Muslim? Has any Republican gone before the waiting establishment media cameras and proclaimed that he or she opposes Ilhan Omar because Omar is black?
Of course not. What Ilhan Omar is claiming here is that “xenophobia, Islamophobia and racism” are what really motivate any criticism of her, no matter what the criticism is for and what is actually said. She has no evidence of this, of course, beyond the usual Leftist contention that everythingRepublicans do is xenophobic, “Islamophobic” and racist, and for most of her hapless followers, that’s quite enough. Like Omar herself, they know that those nasty Republicans are just inveterately intolerant, and they’re not going to tolerate that sort of thing for one minute.
Omar went on, once again predictably, to claim that this horrible Republican criticism had put her in danger because, as we all know, any speech that dissents from the Left’s agenda is tantamount to violence: “Whether it is Marjorie Taylor Greene holding a gun next to my head in campaign ads or Donald Trump threatening to ‘send me back’ to my country [despite the fact that I have been a proud citizen of the United States for more than 20 years], this constant stream of hate has led to hundreds of death threats and credible plots against me and my family.”
Omar was referring to a 2020 ad in which Greene was pictured holding a rifle. The ad also included photos of “The Squad”: Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Make Mine A Double) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah). It said: “Hate America leftists want to take this country down. Our country is on the line. America needs fighters who speak the truth. We need strong conservative Christians to go on the offense against these socialists who want to rip our country apart. Americans must take our country back. SAVE AMERICA. STOP SOCIALISM. DEFEAT THE DEMOCRATS!” Omar made that about race also, tweeting: “Posting a photo with an assault rifle next to the faces of three women of color is not advertising. It’s incitement. There are already death threats in response to this post. Facebook should remove this violent provocation.”
Greene responded: “I NEVER threatened violence to the squad or anyone. My post with the meme said America needs fighters who speak the truth. Speaking the truth is not threatening violence, the squad refusing to condemn and supporting Antifa/BLM violence is the real danger to all of us.” She tweeted: “Relax @IlhanMN, it’s just a meme. What isn’t a meme is BLM / ANTIFA violence, rioting, and destruction that occurred on Minneapolis streets. While your city was being burned and innocent people of color like David Dorn were killed, you called BLM / ANTIFA peaceful protesters.”
Indeed. But two years later, not one thing has changed: Omar is still claiming that any criticism of her at all is racism and an incitement to violence. Her agenda is quite clear: Like so very many others on the Left, she appears determined to silence that criticism by equating it with criminality, and bring about a situation in which no one will dare to utter a negative word about her for fear of being tarred with the same potentially career-ending charges. That’s her hammer, and Ilhan Omar is going to keep pounding away at every nail she thinks she sees.

This is a perfect example of why there will never be compromise between ordinary Americans and the fanatics. Dirtbagocrats and islamopithecines only want our submission and they’ll lie, cheat and murder to get it.
Ordinary Americans are the majority. Scum like Inbred Omar just have bigger mouths and get more media play. Why we put up with this crap, I’ll never understand. Our Founding Fathers went to war with the most powerful empire in history for far less, and America was far less divided when it fought the Civil War. In fact, the Union and Confederacy was a division of two. Now we’re fragmented into countless competing interest groups, most of which are based on meaningless demographic differences which MORONS consider to be identities.
Inbred Omar “won” her election the same way Beijing Biden, Igor Fetterstein, Kreature Hobbs and Raphael Warlock did, through vote fraud. Most women who marry their brothers don’t succeed in life but being an islamopithecine is a free pass in America.

Omar is a terrible anti Semite and national security threat who should not be on any House committee that addresses national security issues
Angel Jacob says
Fraud Omar is a typical islamic terrorist supporter. A victimizer who pretends to be a victim to justify and cover up her own hate and racism.
Islamists hate and have killed 10s of millions of Christians. Their hate, violence and oppression is not limited to Jews. They killed millions of Hindus.
Their whole ideology is based on hate, invasion, theft, bullying, destruction and oppression. There’s not a single positive aspect in muhamadansim.
To counter this overgrown gang of criminals and terrorists, all of their victims need to unite.
Islam should be destroyed from top to bottom. The imams, financiers or anybody in leadership position should be removed first.
Kasandra says
This is just the “go to” response of any legitimate criticisms of the members of their cult. See, they put up minority, female, gay, trans-sexual people as their front people so that any legitimate criticisms can be portrayed this way while their white, male, billionaire donors and their widows or former wives pour money into the Leftist project.

How did we reach this era where through political correctness we elect the enemy into our government ? How did we stoop so low as to elect Muslim scum into congress?
We are committing national suicide. I am glad I am as old as I am as I will most likely not live long enough to see the end of our country as we know it.
However Biden may prove me wrong have the country destroyed by 2024 .

I agree honey and I think you should move back to Somalia. OH WAIT! Do they stone you to death for marrying your brother in Somalia? I think they do. But you’re a rock star there, they’ll make you President. So move back today. Do you need help with the plane fare? Let me know.

I insist upon Islamophobia. It is noble. It is rational. It is so justified that anyone who disputes it needs a psychiatric evaluation.
I suggest that all adherents to this enemy civilization be expunged from our citizenry.
I fault the Crusades for starting three centuries too late, and ending eight centuries too early.
I have zero interest is being a nice guy. I want Christendom back. All of it. Immediately.

None of the divisive adjectives you listed apply to nearly all the people who dislike you.
We dislike you because of what you say, which reflects what you believe and ‘who you are,’ personally; nothing to do with your religion.
It’s what you say and do that makes so many of us despise you.
Stop falsely accusing us.
