Democrats in Disarray: Ilhan Omar Slams Chuck Schumer on CNN - 'It Makes No Sense'
 
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota had harsh words for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over the Jewish Democrat’s failure to endorse far-left Democrat Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor’s race.

"Hakeem Jeffries, your leader, has -- somewhat reluctantly, but has -- endorsed Zohran Mamdani; Chuck Schumer still has not. Why do you think Chuck Schumer has not endorsed Zohran Mamdani?" CNN host Kasie Hunt asked Omar in a video posted to YouTube.
 
"I really don‘t know. It makes no sense," Omar said.

"We as Democrats have always believed that, in an election, we support our party‘s nominee. Schumer has pressured other Democrats to do just that, and he should be following his own advice,” she said.
 

When asked about the role of religion in the campaign, Omar said Muslims have been the target too often.

Many years ago, when democrats were somewhat patriotic, senator Everett Dirksen said the American people have the right to vote themselves to hell if they want, and that is exactly why democrats support Mamdani.
