We all know who the "piece of garbage" in Washington is, and it's certainly not her.

Brava!

Can you prove that with statistics? I'll bet not.

He certainly was not an Obama or Clinton supporter.

Both Giffords and Scalise deserve our empathy, not just the one we agree with politically.

Yes and she was shot by a mentally insane individual who expressed no political statement whatsoever. Please own the evil behavior on the left.

What a load. The Star Tribune and the rest of the media piranha's would be all over something like that so they could tell us all how awful America is and how rough the Somalis have it. Googled it - nothing. Big surprise.

Please cite your source on this hate mail statement. I also googled using different verbiage and could not find any articles.


Edited to add:
I did find this tweet from Omar in response to a Jewish Republican’s tweet regarding an anti-semitic voicemail he had received

This is heinous and hateful. I too am flooded with bigoted voicemails and calls every day.
Unless you cite your source for “literally thousands”, your statement is totally hyperbolic, based on your own personal feelings.

Brava to you! Of course she has no sources. It's liberal-speak made up to defend the position she wants to take. She overplayed her hand when she said "thousands" of hate messages each day. At that point, everyone's "BS radar" went off.

What do you mean "can I prove it"? She's stated exactly that in interviews with the media and on Twitter. She is routinely attacked by people who think they're "anonymous", but end up getting investigated by the Capitol Police.

That means you provide a legitimate, documented source to validate your claim, because, quite frankly, we don't believe you - or her.

The evil behavior needs to be owned by the left, right and center as at various times individuals from all three groups do evil acts. Anyone that believes that evil is done ONLY by people on one side of the political spectrum is clearly delusional or unreasonably biased IMO. I believe that regarding both liberals that view conservatives in that manner and also conservatives that direct it at liberals.

For the record, Jared Lee Loughner (who shot Giffords) held a stated view that women should not be elected or appointed to powerful positions. That is definitely a political viewpoint/statement. He resented that she was in Congress and he was ultimately determined sane enough to be tried in court.
