Title: Ilhan Omar offers absurd excuse for anti-Semitic scheduling
Post by: Wingnut on February 14, 2019, 03:12:00 am
A controversial speaker advertised as sharing a podium later this month with Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was removed late yesterday afternoon from the promotional materials for the event after highlighted Omar’s scheduled participation.

Omar press aide Jeremy Slevin sent several Twitter direct messages  last night asserting that the other speaker, one Yousef Abdallah, not only was not on the program, but had never been scheduled to speak at the dinner in question. Yet Abdallah had been prominently featured as one of the slated speakers both in flyers and in online advertisements for the event since at least Jan. 31, in other words, for at least 13 days, possibly longer.

All of these questions arise as a result of statements last week by Omar so widely interpreted as anti-Semitic that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., publicly rebuked the freshman from Minnesota. The statements furthered the ongoing concerns that Omar traffics in “anti-Semitic tropes.”


Some one is not telling the truth.

She'll have to have her own subforum or maybe just group here, AOC, Tlaib and Omar altogether in one forum, call it something to reflect this.

I've seen this many times in my professional career. We get an angry inexperienced new hire who thinks they can singlehandedly change the entire corporate culture. This is self-destructive behavior. Slowly, she will be excluded from meetings, events, and any position of any kind of authority. Essentially they become an outcast because nobody wants to get involved in their 'cause' or be associated with them and their behavior.

She is too young and too stupid to know this, but she is in fact digging her own grave. Don't take me wrong, weirdos and insane people thrive in the Democrat Party. Pelosi, Waters, Schiff, et al, all prove this very well. But they are primarily anti-Christian, anti-Conservative, but not overtly anti-America.

Omar is a nutty weirdo which is why she is a Democrat. But her brand of weirdness is against everything American, including the Democrat Party of which she is supposedly a member.

The big boys in D.C. including Soros will take her down if she starts causing trouble for the Dems that may effect 2020.

Which "good works" Christian denominations brought in the Somali muslims?

We owe them some feedback.

Nonsense.   She's totally correct.

The AOC sub-cat is a PIA...like ALL sub-categories.

Minor correction: a Martini has an olive. a Gibson has a cocktail onion.

Both libations contain 6 parts gin, 1 part dry vermouth, and either one can kick your ass.
 
Or, as the great Dorothy Parker once said:
 
I like to drink a Martini
But two at the very most.
After three, I'm under the table
After four, I'm under the host.
