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.
Since Obama is out and Hillary lost the Muslim Brotherhood has lost influence, but they still can count on the Democrats to give them what is available.
Matchgame Aside: Mohammad was so white ... (audience: how white was he?) ... he was so white that he used mayonnaise for eye shadow.
that’s the exact opposite of what is needed in the USA and any country.
The country decides what they want for foreign policy, not the foreigners deciding what policies a country should have.
This woman every time she opens her mouth makes it obvious she came here to destroy the USA, got involved in politics to destroy the USA..
The irony here is that she’s actually right about a lot of this. Our government is filled with people who have been selling this country out for years ... and the ones born here in the U.S. ain’t much better than the ones born in Third World toilets.
Ridiculoudly false. The late Rep. Tom Lantos, a survivor of the Nazi Holocaust from Hungary, became a U.S. citizen before running for Congress decades ago.
The Turbanator opens her yap once again. And attempts to be relevant. Again.
That ain't how Foreign Policy works.
That makes her actual policy literal treason.
No.
Forbid Muslims from holding Federal office as their faith is anathema to the American creed...this is me in a good mood.
If she was in Congress during WW2, she would want to discuss war footing from the perspective of the NAZIs. She needs to GO....
Perspective of a foreigner?! How about from the perspective of an AMERICAN.
And who designated her as the person to represent to the US the “perspective of a foreigner?” Did all the billions of foreigners in the world have any say in this?
What exactly is the “foreign perspective”? Might some foreigners have, like, different perspectives? Or are Putin, Merkel, Erdogan, Maduro, Chi, Macron, Netanyahu, Khomenei, etc. etc. all in agreement on their “perspective” and just in great need of a spokesperson like Ilhan to present it to us?
I am beginning to believe that we need an Amendment that requires all elected officials to natural born citizens.
Exactly! Even though it’s a naturalized citizen it’s not an American.
**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**
Ditto!
Since she is supposedly naturalised American perhaps she should start seeing things from the perspective of an an American...........just a suggestion.
I agree with you especially as it pertains to federal government elected officials; representatives, senators, justices. Should be American born.
An excellent idea!
LOYALTY TO SOMALIA NOT AMERICA---Democrat Omar complained on the floor of the US Congress that President Trump has dramatically intensified American airstrikes in her native Somalia that have killed hundreds of members of the al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabaab.
REALITY CHECK I guess her Somali BIL gave her the script. Read on.
Omar’s brother-in-law, a Somalia official, tweeted on March 4: “Road to 2020/21 and national issues in #Somalia - current political agreement (4.5) is decaying, yet main governance systems/structures are not in place: constitution is incomplete, justice system poor, security absent, political parties not there...what gives?!”
This is embedded with some sort of creepy Muslim code......probably for more US foreign aid.....
Omar got her BIL a top job in the Somali administration. Read on.
=======================================
Democrat Cong Clyburn said Omar "told him" she was born in Somalia, and had to flee the country to escape Somali violence,
and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the US.....this according to Clyburn.
===========================================
Then why, as a frightened Somali given refuge in America, did she hurry back to Somalia to get her BIL a job?
================================
This creepy Somali Muslim woman in our Congress has a hidden agenda no one could ever imagine.Omar has world-wide terrorist connections.
BACKSTORY-- Just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature,
Ilhan left her American refuge to travel to her homeland she says she "fled in fear".
She was with then-Pres Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a Somali favorite for re-election.
He reportedly invited her to appear beside him prior to the Somali election taking place.
That's the "frightened lady" pictured chit-chatting, setting up her foreign policy $$$$ Somali agenda.
No Longer "Fearful," elected US state rep Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later,
Omar's Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Administration. The US foreign aid is about to pour in.
What was the deal she made with the corrupt-ridden Somali govt? Are the violent Somalians she once fled,
privy to US security reports from Omar's current position on the Congressional Foreign Affair Committee?
You better believe it, guys.
==================================
A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance.
=============================
Ever notice it's always "us" against "them."
They worm their way in saying they " want a better life:"
.....translation: gimme the the free money and all the tax-paid stuff available.
Assimilation is never on the agenda.
They get top jobs in govt, even cop jobs, get elected, but the agenda is strictly "Us-First"
......suing, screaming discrimination, throwing down America, and demeaning Americans.
The organized Minnesota Somali Bund should be registered as foreign agents.
