What Ilhan Omar Really Meant
Everyone remembers Ilhan Omar’s remark about American support for Israel: “It’s all about the Benjamins.” This was a reference to Jewish financial support for politicians being the only conceivable explanation for their support for Israel. Omar couldn’t imagine that anyone might support Israel for any other reason. She can’t imagine anyone being moved by Israel […]
Ilhan Omar’s campaign cash to consultants fell by millions after she removed her husband’s firm from her payroll
Her corruption is off the charts, but she knows she can do whatever she wants because she ticks not just one or two but three of the Left’s favored victimhood boxes: she is black, Muslim, female. To criticize her is a perfect trifecta of “right-wing” sins: it’s racist, sexist, and “Islamophobic.” “Ilhan Omar’s campaign cash […]
Ilhan Omar Has Finally Gotten Her Comeuppance
Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) has finally gotten her comeuppance. She’s just been voted off the House Foreign Relations Committee, as Kevin McCarthy had promised two years ago he would do once the Republicans controlled the House and he was elected Speaker. A report on this well-deserved brush-off can be found here: “House Republicans vote to remove […]
Gaetz says that Ilhan Omar is ‘aligned with America First foreign policy’
Gaetz may be right insofar as Wilsonian democracy projects go, but he is certainly wrong that Ilhan Omar is “aligned with America First foreign policy” when it comes to her unwavering hatred of Israel and alignment with the “Palestinian” jihad. There is no advantage to America to ally with or aid jihadis who hold to […]
House votes to remove Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs Committee
🔴 BREAKING: House votes to remove Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee. Good! Unrepentant antisemites, racists and bigots like Omar, have no place on House Committees. pic.twitter.com/xMo4yPzymC — Arsen Ostrovsky 🎗️ (@Ostrov_A) February 2, 2023 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims this is all about “targeting women of color.” It’s really about targeting foes of the United […]
Ilhan Omar claims Republicans don’t want a Muslim on foreign affairs committee, are ‘OK with Islamophobia’
Maybe the Republicans don’t want someone on the foreign affairs committee who is so far to the Left that she equates the U.S. and Israel with Hamas and the Taliban. But Omar knows how to play the Left and its media, and so she is making this all about identity politics. “Islamophobia,” in this context […]
These are the Republicans Protecting Ilhan Omar
“We should be better than what the Democrats were.” Can the new House GOP majority do anything? Even something as simple as booting Rep. Ilhan Omar off the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where she belongs as much as I belong on Al Qaeda’s councils, can’t proceed because some House Republicans are protecting her. Why would protect Miss […]
Ilhan Omar says McCarthy leaving her off subcommittee is ‘racist, xenophobic and discriminatory’
As those are the cards she always plays, they lose their force. “Ilhan Omar says McCarthy leaving her off Africa subcommittee is ‘racist, xenophobic,’” by Lawrence Richard, Fox News, January 27, 2023: In a new statement, Rep. Ilhan Omar is now accusing House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of being “racist” and “xenophobic” for removing her from the House […]
White House Announces Efforts to Counter Anti-Semitism as Ilhan Omar Joins Bidens for Photo-Op
New in PJ Media: On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre avoided giving us another display of her tongue-tied unpreparedness by issuing a written statement. “As President Biden has made clear,” she stated, “antisemitism has no place in America. All Americans should forcefully reject antisemitism – including Holocaust denial – wherever it exists.” In response, […]
