Creepy views galore: What is Ilhan Omar doing on the House Foreign Relations Committee? By Monica Showalter
The more you learn about the world view of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, the less you like her. In fact, the more you learn, the more you think there’s an actual national security problem with her in Congress.
In just a few days, she’s made an amazing string of opinions and news on foreign policy. All of it is about as fringe-left, fringe-terrorist, succor-the-enemy, anti-American crazy, as it can possibly get.
What genius placed this maniac on the House Foreign Relations Committee?
First, news came out that she urged a judge to show leniency to a group of ISIS terrorists caught trying to head out to Syria to fight for ISIS, using icky pope-like language about mercy and claiming a long prison sentence to the terrorists would ruin their lives. What the terrorist had in mind of course, was raping Yazidi and Christian women, beheading opponents, and shooting to kill Americans, which is what they were up to at the time. The group was every bit as vicious and psychopathic as al Qaida before it, and there she went, using her lefty pleas for mercy on such people.
According to Fox News:
The nine Minnesota men were facing decades in prison after being accused in 2015 of making plans, including buying fake passports, in an effort to travel to Syria and fight for ISIS, which was at its peak level of activity and held territory in Syria and Iraq.
The judge chose instead to place the security and right to life of all the people they wanted to kill first and put them in the can for 30 years a pop.
How does one explain this? Ethnic solidarity? The Somali vote? The advice of her brother-in-law creepily in a powerful post back in Somalia? Anything to oppose America? There are no good answers to this, given that ISIS was every bit as savage as al Qaida, and maybe more. Oh, and she claims some taxi driver once called her ‘ISIS.’ What was she upset about?
And so much for all those gushy leftist tear-jerker stories in the press about Omar’s rags-to-riches story as a Somali ‘refugee’ or the supposed assimilation capacities of Somali migrants, which in her case includes a questionable marital arrangement, and who, by all means, we should admit more of.
She actually gets worse. Instead of sticking to issues supporting Middle Eastern terrorists, she’s waded into the Venezuelan issue … on the side of Russia, mouthing its propaganda. Get a load:
