Omar

February 4, 2023

When he was asked on Fox News in 201 about his “respect” for Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom the host called “a killer,” President Trump responded, “There are a lot of killers. We have a lot of killers. Well, you think our country is so innocent?” For his incendiary comments, Trump was renominated as the Republican Party’s presidential candidate in 2020. For questioning atrocities committed by the US, Afghanistan, Israel and the Taliban, Ilhan Omar was voted off the Foreign Relations Committee. Omar “clarified” her remarks. Trump never apologized.

This is not a case of “what aboutism.” This is a case of vengeance, and feeding red meat to the base of the Republican Party in the form of a Muslim woman. Marjorie Taylor Greene with her Jewish space lasers has been seated on committees. Lauren Boebert wants to bring guns onto the floor of the House. Matt Gaetz skated on charges of being a sexual predator. George Santos is still a member of the caucus. Scott Perry is under investigation by the Justice Department. Over 130 House Republicans voted to overturn the last election. The Republican Party should be focused on House cleaning, and then they can address Hunter Biden’s laptop.
