Ilhan Omar on Trump Voters: ‘Ignorance Really Is Pervasive in Many Parts of This Country’

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) on Tuesday castigated supporters of President Donald Trump by claiming America's problem with ignorance is "pervasive."

Omar appeared on the Nation’s "Next Left" podcast with host John Nichols to discuss various issues, including the intelligence of Trump supporters.

"So suddenly you’re elected, and you had this teaching moment. It strikes me that, in watching you, you are conscious of teaching moments and of that opportunity to say something that might cause people to think differently about what’s going on," Nichols said.

Omar said U.S. voters "have a misconception" about refugees and the process they face getting into the United States. She went on to specifically target Republicans in her criticism, saying they "are really good at misinformation and sort of really reorganizing facts to sort of paint a picture that really eventually is not rooted in facts."

She said Minnesota Republicans who want to stop refugees from coming to the state spread misinformation about how refugee resettlement works.

We are really lucky to have this runt savage on hand to critique our nation. Or else how would we know?

Thanks, Congressthing Omar, for being a living example of our irredeemably busted immigration policy.

Best description I’ve heard about this current phenomenon: the elites [Congress, big Media, Hollywood, top echelon of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, etc] have risen up against the people.

How else would you describe the 2016 election?

Sorta like the climate change and environmental hysteria of the left?

Establishment Republicans have proven they're against the ordinary citizen. Exhibit A is what Mitch and his cronies did to Chris McDaniel when he beat Thad Cochran.

Obama called us "bitter clingers". Clinton called us "deplorables". The Muzzy calls us "Ignorant".   

You would think they would learn by now that insults don't work to their advantage come election time.

I think 2016 was a Revolt of the Normals. What we have seen since is a Revolt of the Elites.

Yeah,I have noticed that,too. It is most prevalent in the northern parts of the nation,though. Mostly along the coasts,but Mn gets prominent mention when it comes to ignorant fools.

@andy58-in-nh

That had never occured to me,but damned if you didn't nail it. The Elites lost their nut when Trump was elected,haven't recovered since,and are getting more hysterical with every day that passes.

She is right about that, but it's not who she thinks it is.
