Rep. Ilhan Omar Voted Against Bill to Let Insurance Companies Deny Payouts to Terrorists’ Relatives
CNS News ^ | 3/20/19 | Melanie Artur

While serving in the Minnesota Legislature in 2017, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was one of two state legislators who voted against a bill that would allow insurance companies to block payouts to the relatives of terrorists.

The bill, H.F. 1397, placed limitations on “payments to beneficiaries of persons furthering terrorism.”

The bill was introduced in response to the 2015 San Bernardino shooting massacre, in which 14 people were shot and killed. The perpetrators – Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik – took out two life insurance policies totaling $275,000. The federal government intervened and sued to seize the money and use it for the survivors and the victims’ families, according to the Daily Caller Foundation’s CheckYourFact.com.

Rep. John Lesch, the other legislator who voted against the bill, said at the time that he did it because he didn’t want insurance companies to decide what is considered terrorism.

“[The bill] allows an insurance company, not a court, to decide what constitutes an act of terrorism under the cited statute, and it lowers the burden on that call to preponderance of the evidence,” Lesch told Alpha News, a Minnesota-based news outlet.

“Terrorists should not be able to send life insurance benefits to beneficiaries based on bad faith recent policy purchases. I think we can all agree on that,” he said.

Omar didn’t offer an explanation at the time.

Omar’s office did not respond to CNSNews.com’s request for comment.

Let’s see...Omar could use the trope....
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
We’ve seen this one before.

So what’s the deal.

She wanted attacks committed by whites to somehow be turned into terrorism in a court of law?

That’s the only angle I can figure.

If memory serves me right, according to the Geneva Convention, she could be captured, interrogated mercilessly (but not waterboarded) and then shot. I believe this is part of “Common Article 3 relating to non-international armed conflict.”

I wonder how should would have voted if the bill only applied to terrorists who were ‘the Jew’?

She was never one of us, isn’t one of us and never will be one of us. She needs to be removed from our government and sent packing back to whatever hell hole she crawled out of.

No surprise here. She is a radical muslim who hates the U.S. She should not be walking free in the country let alone be in Congress. Minnesotans who voted her in are either stupid or also U.S. haters.

Just like the moslem world since its creation by a child-raping pervert, she has been in a perpetual state of war with the Chistian world...

This _religion_ grows in strength every day, within our neighborhoods. More and more representatives in government, as their numbers steadily increase. More and more USA real estate owned by them. More and more businesses and employees through-out corporate _America_. Once they reach a certain power, they will be extremely demanding. Always hidden in their demands, stated or not, is violence. Few do not yield under such circumstances.

Obama and Mark Dayton imported 70-100K of them in to Minnesota.

Most of them live in the 5th (LARGE public housing buildings in that area, they have taken over all of it) the rest in St Cloud..

locals call the areas Minneaplistan and St Cloudistan.

While refugees are not suppose to vote. They do. Good luck trying to challenge it at the polling station. They will all turn on you and you’ll regret doing it.

Re “Omer didn’t offer a explanation at that time”.

Why should she do anything against her fellow Islamic extremists? Would have cost her votes. too.

One sick bitch and traitor!

I’m looking forward to the day that she’s linked to a terrorist act and gets frog marched off to Gitmo in chains.
