Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter tore into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Tuesday night for not voting in favor of a bill to place economic sanctions on Turkey for its military campaign against Kurdish forces in northern Syria.
Kanter, who is Turkish and has long been a vocal critic of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, tweeted that it was an "absolute disappointment and shame" that Omar was the only Democrat to vote against the measure to put sanctions on Turkey.
The NBA star continued, asserting that Omar's actions made it seem like she was "on #DictatorErdogan's payroll" and "working for his interests, but not for the American people and democracy!"

Management isn't going to be happy.
Kanter has a Turkish arrest warrant out on him. He cannot visit half the countries in Europe because he would be liable for arrest. He is a vocal opponent of Edrogan. Is cut off from his family. Unlike the China scandal the NBA is not involved with Kanter though they likely wish he would shut up.
Wow he’s brave!
Omar would turn us into an islamic shithole over night if she could have her way.
