Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar spreads false claim about America attacking Muslims amid Iran strikes

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was blasted after wrongly claiming the US has previously attacked Islamic countries during Ramadan.

Omar, 43, belligerently ranted on X on Thursday evening ahead of the attacks on Iran. She claimed the US bombed Iraq in 1990 during Ramadan.

'And it's sickening to know that the US is again going to attack Iran during Ramadan,' Omar, who is Muslim, wrote.

'The US apparently loves to strike Muslim countries during Ramadan, and I am convinced it isn’t what these countries have done to violate international law but about who they worship.'

Although the Saturday attack of Iran by US forces is during the month of Ramadan, which runs from February 17 to March 19 this year, the other US attacks in the Middle East were not during the religious holiday.

The US invaded Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, which started the Iraq War, on March 20, 2003 - seven months ahead of the October 26 start date of the Muslim holiday that year.

The US had also completed Operation Desert Storm, which was part of the Persian Gulf War, in the country on January 17, 1991, after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of the year prior.

Ramadan started on March 17, 1991, two months after the attack.

How Nancy Mace Used Khamenei's Death to Trigger Ilhan Omar's Unhinged (Drunken?) Rant:
Rep. Mace tweeted that her thoughts and prayers were with Omar and Tlaib upon the death of the Ayatollah. Ilhan got really mad and responded like the self-righteous illiterate dope she is:

Ilhan Omar
@IlhanMN
I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self

Mace was also kind enough to correct her:

Nancy Mace
@NancyMace
Honey, it’s “please refrain” not “please restrain.”
This is what happens when your staff is from the Third World and can’t speak proper English.

This "holy month," my a$$. Oh, and Ilhan? Until now, the US has no history of "loving to strike" Islamic countries during your phony holiday.
