Rep. Ilhan Omar: GOP Bid To Tie Me To Marjorie Taylor Greene Is ‘Desperate Smear’ | All In | MSNBC

  1. Question: are they throwing Greene under the bus as the sacrificial lamb for Josh Hawley? He’s the one they really want to save for future years of insurrection, so are they using Greene to distract from Hawley’s crimes and keep him in office?

    1. Question: If I see this comment about Greene and Hawley under multiple videos, does that mean it’s likely a bot trying to gin up the partisanship mill?

    2. Well… IDK about that. They (current GOP leaders) are all appreciative of the media’s focus on her. McCarthy, Cruz, Halley, McConnell, Graham , all TRASH, ALL CRIMINALS. They should all have their titles stripped away and given the life they claim they are fighting for. This is not going to end well for anyone.

    3. It’s a possibility. However, there’s no denying that Greene does speak the language of Trump’s insidious base. I doubt they would like to see her ‘thrown under any bus,’ because she is as willing to support and concoct as many conspiracy theories as they do.
      Previously, I was doubtful that the Republican Party might split due to differences of political opinion. However, every day it’s looking more likely that this ‘needs’ to happen, for the more temperate Reps to break away, formulate a party of their own, and distance themselves from a party that’s become the political equivalent of Flat-Earthers.

    1. Marjorie is ten times better than the people accusing her. The only reason they’re mad at her is because she doesn’t take orders from the Donor class. Pelosi and Biden preaching decency to Marjorie ???? How laughable !!! The first thing Biden did as a president is to go back on his 2000 covid check. This is what Biden is. Somebody who spent his entire career lying and sucking up to lobbies.

    2. Goodness is attractive and will prevail. Ownership otherwise will hopefully legally fail. We are the unified custodians that must be heard without crossing the line.

    3. @S McDonald the old timers used to call the so called laser, lighting. Nothing new in California. Crazies have been around forever but we now need a metaphoric birth control.

    1. How about more than half of the gop wont admit Biden is a fairly elected President but work with us. And she is not a woman of color, Shes a proud BLACK Woman. It’s disrespectful to lump all of us into a category of “people of color”. We are who we are not a generic moniker for people.

  2. I like her intelligence and eloquence. Sad the GOP not only lack moral standing but fill with crazy nut jobs. Its don’t make sense

    1. In all groups there are good intelligent people, and also bad and dumb ones.
      Different is that both can be and seemingly are, elected.
      The GOP does no longer care for the USA, but only for the party and their voters.
      Thank Newt Gingrich for that.

    2. They tried picking on AOC and it always backfired in their faces. So now, they’re picking on the other cute Squad member… and this too will backfire in their faces.

    3. The gop is full of white men & women. White fragility runs freely in the grand old party. It’s their roots.

    1. @Navy Dad Criticising the Israeli government is not anti-Semitic but ranting about Rothschild space lasers causing devastating and deadly forest fires definitely is!

    1. That is their whole platform it’s them against the rest of America and the world. Why anyone of color would be a republican is beyond me you basically hate yourself. Like that Dave Chappelle skit the blind white supremacist who is black.

    2. @Michael Hernandez No it’s just Democrats can’t see past race. Anybody disagrees with you it’s automatically racist.

    1. @The Truth You are getting very lazy. Why note just type “hate”? That would also easily identify what you stand for.

    2. Guess why the right-wing loonies attack the Squad..? Because they’re SCARED of the Squad…. that’s why. They wouldn’t bother otherwise.

    1. @Jax Jax why? Because she criticized the *government* of Israel? Because she is Muslim? Because she’s an outspoken progressive woman with wayyyy too dark of skin?

    2. @Jax Jax Omar is much more than that. A woman of integrity, morals and intelligence. Something others should aspire too.

    1. @Jan Sobieski She’s not an Islamic radical. Being Muslim doesn’t mean you believe the 1% that are insane..

    2. @Jan Sobieski Better that we deport America’s white Supremacists and their right-wing, Christian radicals.

    3. @ღSwnsasyღ _ BDS is not anti-semitic. It’s about boycotting Israeli government who are oppressing and using violence against palestinians. The best comparison would be boycotting south-Africa for their apartheid-regime. Was boycotting south-africa discrimination against whites?

    4. @SorbusAucuparia I think you have the wrong person love.. I know what it is and I said it’s not anti-semetic..

  3. If you see, “what about” in the comment, just call it and refuse to address there attempt to derail the conversation to distract. It the new don’t feed the trolls.

  4. The old Trump the Rump’s move “What about” “What about” “What about” “What about”…

  5. What are the first words out of a Republican’s mouth when they or someone they support does something horrendous? The same words a spoiled child says when they do something they knew they shouldn’t: “But what about so & so? They get to do it!”

    1. In Europe we fight against people like her, islam is only problems. A woman wearing a hear scarf means a lot about her radical beliefs.

  6. Deflecting is a trick you use when you’re 4 and got caught getting into cupcakes. Not growna$$ adults. Pathetic.
