Some people paid for somebody’s trip.
Rep. Ilhan Omar is one of the most vocal advocates for Islamic terrorism in Congress. (Sadly it’s a competitive field.) And Qatar is the most prominent Islamic terrorist state currently pretending to be an ally while buying up most of Washington D.C. (With the Saudis, Kuwait, etc… taking a bit of a breather to worry about Iran, which Qatar is allied with, it’s a slightly less competitive field.)
So when Rep. Ilhan Omar flew to Qatar’s World Jihad Cup where beer was banned and slave laborers died to build the infrastructure for the soccer matches that foreigners like Omar tend to care about, someone had to pick up the tab. Some people did. Some of the same some people who did something in September.
The Qatari Embassy in Washington, D.C., confirmed it had paid for Omar’s visit to the Gulf kingdom last year. The congresswoman “accepted an invitation from the Embassy of Qatar to attend events in Doha in November 2022,” a spokesperson told Jewish Insider last week, “as part of a program authorized under the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act,” or MECEA, which allows House members to take trips funded by foreign governments provided that the travel is later disclosed in their annual financial statements.
The embassy did not share an exact figure for the cost of the trip, which was not listed in Omar’s financial report.
Considering Qatar’s enthusiasm for a range of Jihadists from Hamas to the Taliban, and as a host of the Muslim Brotherhood, it was understandable that it would want to add Omar to its collection.
“You can call for accountability, you can ask for justice, but you can also just enjoy the beauty of the game,” Omar explained to Business Insider shortly after she returned from Qatar, emphasizing that “there are no perfect countries that have a perfect record.”
Except for Somalia, which is heaven on earth with a side order of mass murder.
At least Omar wasn’t lonely because the Islamic terror state placed a few orders on BuyMeaCongressman.org.
In addition to Omar, the Qatari government also paid for Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), André Carson (D-IN), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Darin LaHood (R-IL) and Bryan Steil (R-WI) to visit Doha during the World Cup, according to financial statements reviewed by JI. With the exception of Carson — who as a congressman has traveled to Doha on multiple trips sponsored by the Gulf monarchy — the lawmakers’ offices did not respond to requests for comment from JI.
Not a big surprise here. Especially Rep. Carson. Some people took some benefits from a terror state.

Inbred Omar. The fact that such a barking dog is a member of Congress proves how far America has fallen.
But what do you expect from Minnesota?. It’s the headquarters of the Communist Party USA and it’s always been one of the worst states in the so called union.
Kasandra says
Also how much the Dem Party embraces her. You’d think she would have been more circumspect about accepting that trip given the accusations that have followed her for years that she’s a Qatari agent.

I’ve been reading a lot about Somalia in the 1850s, thanks to Richard Burton. Hopeless case.
And soccer without beer??? Unthinkable 🙂
Jeff Bargholz says
I’ll take the beer but not the soccer. 😛
You know, I almost bought a six pack for the first time in years the other day but they all cost ten bucks or more! I chose a 1.75 liter bottle of vodka for the same price (however much that is, I think it’s a marketing trick to use the inefficient metric system.)
And Californians must prefer abominable IPAs judged on the store stocks. Poseurs. IPAs taste like Budweiser horse piss but have a higher alcohol content so that’s why the losers like them. Real men drink ales, porters and stouts. Although a Blue Moon with an orange slice is good on a hot Summer day.

Adding an addendum here: Since this terrorist mouthpiece has remained a state representative and freely walks the halls of Congress, the question becomes WHO among us are the stupid ones?
“Who are Minnesotans. Final answer.”
Daniel Greenfield says
She’s far from alone. There’s a whole pipeline of Omars making their way through state legislatures.
Look at what’s happening in Georgia.
In a decade there’ll be a dozen of them in Congress. At least.

Where are their FARA applications?

Add to that State Representative Anna Eskamani (D. Orlando). fangirl of the Iranian Mullahs, LGBTQ … XYZ ally, and self-described “fascist hunter.” How LGBTQ can square her support for their kink with Shiite Islam is a mystery. Why her LGBTQ friends support her is a bigger mystery.

That’s disappointing about Tenney.

Ilhan Omar/Elmi, the member of the U.S. House of Representatives from the Fifth District of Minnesota does not represent Minnesota. Why should she? She represents the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt and secondarily, the people of Somalia. She draws her campaign funds from people living in the Los Angeles area and secondarily from international sources, the money laundered through Washington, D.C.. No doubt this trip was a “fact finding” mission to aid her in her important work for the Brotherhood.
“Why do those people in Minnesota vote for her?” We don’t. We “vote” for her. Rigging elections used to be a fine art. Now it’s about as fine as the art of Hunter Biden. Operatives for Omar purchase ballots, the going rate in South Minneapolis is ten bucks per “vote.” And she’s swimming in campaign cash with which to buy those “votes.” I wonder how many “votes” the Qataris get to buy?
Daniel Greenfield says
True. But demographic change also has consequences. Import enough Somali Muslims and the government becomes Somali Muslim. Families with ten kids each show up in a state, sign them all up for welfare and free food to be administered by Somali Muslim charities, who then turn them out to vote for their community leaders and activists. Hundreds of millions of dollars get stolen and Omar goes to Congress.
Angel Jacob says
Fraud Omar belongs in a cage. Treason.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, a monkey cage.

Why are any of these a-holes going abroad? They represent their given Congressional district, not the interests of a single foreign state. Such foreign “sponsorship” should be viewed as influence peddling and those accepting such “gifts” should be sent to their home state newly un-employed with no government benefits, if not tried and taken out on the National Mall and lynched.
m wald says
I guess she should be required to register as a foreign agent.
Daniel Greenfield says
Being a foreign agent is her entire career.
