Why won’t she leave?
Rep. Ilhan Omar, who was praised by a former Somali prime minister as following not “the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people, the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somalian people and Somalia”, has some thoughts about the country that took her in.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) criticized the Trump administration’s use of the military, saying the U.S. is turning into “one of the worst countries.”
“Can you imagine that image that is going to be coming out of our country? I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that,” Omar said, referring to her early childhood in Somalia.
Either Omar is not very aware of the history of her own country or she’s lying. I’ll go with the latter especially considering her family ties. Some Somalis have accused her father of being a colonel who played a role in the country’s brutal dictatorship and its massacres.
But if Omar really thinks America is worse than Somalia, why not leave and go back to her homeland?
Take the next plane to Somalia. Of course she won’t because she and every illegal invader know that’s a lie. America at its worst is better than Somalia at its best in every possible way.
