Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar ripped former President Barack Obama in an interview published Friday, belittling his “pretty face” and saying his agenda of hope and change was an illusion.
She cited the “caging of kids” at the Mexican border and the “droning of countries around the world” on Obama’s watch — and argued that he wasn’t much different from President Trump
“We can’t be only upset with Trump,” the freshman firebrand told Politico Magazine.
“His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. They just were more polished than he was,” Omar said.
“And that’s not what we should be looking for anymore. We don’t want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished. We want to recognize the actual policies that are behind the pretty face and the smile.”
The explosive comments about a man lionized by Democrats were only the latest in a series of incendiary statements that have put the national spotlight on Omar, a Somali-American Muslim who spent four years in a refugee camp in Kenya after her family fled the violence in their homeland.
In February, her second month in office, Omar responded to a tweet about House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy’s threats to punish her and another congresswoman for criticizing Israel.
“It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” she tweeted, a line from a Puff Daddy song about $100 bills.
Critics said Omar was perpetuating a hateful trope about Jewish Americans and money.

Isn’t she married to her biological brother?
This jihadi can’t burn her bridges fast enough.
“More popcorn, please!”
I at least agree with her on that.
Should be investigated for immigration fraud, stripped of citizenship and shipped back to Allahland.
LOL, she’s toast.
Say goodnight Gracie.
I knew issuing the freeloading “refugees” an official race card and then sending them to Congress was a stupid idea. LOL. The dems are all braindead.
HOT Dog! Pass the popcorn!
Oh this is getting better by the minute!
Obama presided over the killed of Bin Laden, and Miss Al Shabaab there ain’t gonna forget or forgive that.
She makes an interesting point- Trump does not have a hit list he passes to CIA, who then arrange remote drone strikes on the individuals on that list.
It rarely made the news when Obama did it, like she said, he got away with murder behind that pretty face.
“killing”, not “killed”
Wow .......I would have never in a million years thought she would be smart enough to figure that out....
Isn’t it just! LOL
A hit a day. Bet we might be able to assemble a quote-a-day 365 day calendar of hers and other Democrats by the end of the year.
It should also be noted that every damn one of these people who set about illegally spying on Trump were being paid by Obama to do it but I doubt it will even get mentioned.
Damn. Broken clock.
