Should Ilhan Omar be removed from office?

Janet_Miller · 2019-04-10T18:30:14.052Z

Why does not being a supporter of the modern state of Israel make her anti-Semitic? Some Jews don’t even support that, citing it as made by man rather than God. Are they anti-Semitic, too?

Her September 11 remark is idiotic, but can it be used to remove her from office? Looks like a separate article to click on just MIGHT—allegations she used a portion of her campaign fund for divorce attorney & personal expenses.

Other than spewing Anti-Semite venom has this individual done anything for the constituents?

I guess overturning elections is fine if the Democrat won.

What was the anti-semite venom this rep spewed?

It was anti-AIPAC venom. One of the untouchable third rails of american politics.

She correctly identified Stephen Miller as a white nationalist. So she’s cool in my book.

correct. the correction is that.

10 Muslim terrorists drove 2 planes into twin towers here in NYC killing scores of people

5 Muslim Terrorists drove a plane into pentagon.

4 Muslim terrorists drove their plane in the ground in Pennsy killing all aboad, were on their way
to an unspecified destination in Washington.

all told a horrific attack on the homeland.

to downplay it as “some people did something” is just plain wrong.

it like a japanese person describing the pearl harbor sneak attack as “some people did something”

If that is an accurate quote it is wrong plain and simple as that.

No, she’s the future of the dem party. An ingrate. We need her for the next election. Just like AOC, another future of the dem a party and another ingrate of America… It’s demographics of the dem party and should be highlighted…

That’s a bad example.

Her point was that the Muslim community was paying a price for the actions of a few.

If a Japanese person were to make the same remark, it would also be with the knowledge of what resulted from the acts of ‘some people’. A whole nationality got caught by the short hairs and sent to camps.

And Japanese-Americans citizens paid the price of Pearl Harbor attack.

or did you forget about the internment camps on the mainland.

what did the American citizens of California of Japanese ancestry have anything to do with
sneak attack, yet they were profoundly and greatly negatively affected by it.

same with the american citizens who were muslims after 9/11.

What has she done?

She been in her office for all of what 90 days? I mean by now she should have at least got a couple 10 million in pork spending for her constituents. Problem is she is Muslim, and that would go against her religion.

As for her leaving office, I suppose one could move to Minnesota in her district and vote against her next year, that would be a lot faster.

CaughtInTheMiddle · 2019-04-10T19:11:42.558Z

kinda like impeached?

lessright · 2019-04-10T19:14:15.058Z

I thought that was what I said? Guess not.

I also thought that was the point Omar was making. Not comparing Muslims to Japanese but pointing out what she saw happening in her community. A loss of civil liberties based on the actions of a few.

rolltide · 2019-04-10T19:16:17.434Z

The only people calling for her removal are the EXACT SAME people who enable the most corrupt and stupid President we’ve ever had.

Of course Muslim American citizens paid the price for Saudi Arabian terrorists,

I misunderstood.

I love that those who decry political correctness are some of the biggest offenders. Oh no, Omar didn’t sufficiently portray the horror of 9/11, let’s ignore her point about the many losing civil liberties because of the actions of a few because she didn’t perform some kabuki dance.

lessright · 2019-04-10T19:19:15.677Z

No harm, no foul. That’s why we talk these things out.
