Back to the original topic....
I'm starting to admire Omar. She may dumb as a box of rocks but at least she doesn't take any prisoners.
In an interview with Politico Magazine published Friday, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) argued that former President
Barack Obama is a “more polished” version of President Donald Trump, noting both their administrations have
employed several of the same policies on border security and foreign policy.
As she saw it, the party ostensibly committed to progressive values had become complicit in perpetuating the
status quo. Omar says the “hope and change” offered by Barack Obama was a mirage. Recalling the “caging of kids” at the U.S.-Mexico border and the “droning of countries around the world” on Obama’s watch, she argues that the Democratic president operated within the same fundamentally broken framework as his Republican successor.
“We can’t be only upset with Trump. … 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 says. “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.”
I also like the fact that she is causing more problems for the Democrats than she's worth as a vote.
Same goes for that other wacky bitch from Michigan.
