Anti-Semitic Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who blames the current crisis in Venezuela on the United States, wants a "Green New Deal" style overhaul of U.S. foreign policy. Omar argues she is best suited to lead the charge for major foreign policy changes because she has "the perspective of a foreigner."
From the Star Tribune :
The Somali-born Minnesota Democrat, saying she brings “the perspective of a foreigner” to her new role, believes that American foreign policy needs to be changed in fundamental ways.
“When I think about foreign policy, we need something equivalent to the Green New Deal,” Omar said in an interview, drawing a parallel to the sweeping climate change plan from New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another high-profile member of the Democratic freshman class of 2018.As Omar considers how a Green New Deal-style approach might be brought to reshaping U.S. foreign policy, she leans on her own background. The first Somali-American and the first naturalized U.S. citizen in Congress, the one-time inhabitant of a refugee camp described herself “as someone who has seen the United States from the perspective of a foreigner.” She’d like to see a vastly downscaled U.S. military presence around the world, and much less direct intervention in the domestic politics of other countries.
“Our focus should be on diplomacy, in cultural and economic exchange,” Omar said. “I think we are seen as a leader, and we have an opportunity for people to follow if we are leading with moral conviction.”
A few things. First, the United States provided Omar and her family refuge after they fled a violent, war torn country, for which she is deeply ungrateful. What exactly does "the perspective or a foreigner" mean? Last time I checked Omar was a naturalized American representing a U.S. Congressional District in Washington D.C.
Second, the U.S. provides more economic aid around the world than any other country. Currently, truckloads of food and medicine are sitting on the Venezuelan border and waiting for distribution to a starving population. Dictator Nicolas Maduro, who Omar supports, is refusing to allow humanitarian aid into the country. Further, the United States is the number one advocate for human rights around the world.
Third, Omar sits on the House Foreign Relations Committee with a dangerous blame America first attitude. Is she asking questions on the Committee "from the perspective of a foreigner?" Or as a representative in the United States Congress? After all, she downplayed 9/11 as "some people doing something" and regularly holds fundraisers for terror connected organizations.
Ilhan Omar mentions 9/11 and does not consider it a terrorist attack on the USA by terrorists, instead she refers to it as “Some people did something”, then she goes on to justify the establishment of a terrorist organization (CAIR) on US soil.
So, she favors the Obama approach to foreign policy.
Charlie’s in the wire.
I am beginning to believe that we need an Amendment that requires all elected officials to natural born citizens.
this might just be me in a mildly bad mood though.
Exactly
Yep but worse, Charlie’s in the CP.
to “BE” natural born . . . oops!
I believe that’d work for the majority of Americans.
Exactly, we already had a foreigner dictating global policy farvoring marxists and muslim ideals, not American ideals.
too much pluribus, not enough unum.
Send the muzztard bitch back to Somaliland … she’s obviously NOT an American, legal niceties aside.
She is admitting she is a traitor.
Well I’m in an extremely bad mood and I think we need to load her and her constituents onto a plane and deliver them to their home country. I’m sick of this unAmerican piece of trash
Bump!
I live in Minnesota, but far from the Minneapolis/St.Paul area. Most out-state Minnesotans are quite normal. The big city Minnesotans dominate our politics and live in a different world than the rest of us.
Forget the committee, get this b!tch out of the country!
That works! Just deliver her in pig rawhide fresh off the swine. She should have a delightful time.

This half-wit couldn’t pass a HS civics course.
She has no business where she is.
Was she married to her brother?
