Anti Semite Ilhan Omar was in L.A and I didn't even know. I missed the show.
Ilhan seems to be very upset that her Anti-semitism is not being tolerated.
...And she's complaining about American Muslims being treated like second class citizens? This is a woman that came here from freakin Somali!
Talk about ungrateful!
This was at a CAIR meeting. CAIR is an organization known for it's terrorist group support. Also this isn't the first time she's spoken at a CAIR event.

Freshman Congresswoman Ilham Omar of Minnesota urged some 400 Los Angeles-area Muslims packed inside the Woodland Hills Hilton on Saturday to stand defiant and “raise hell” in the face of discrimination they confront as Muslims in America.
It’s advice the politician appears to have adopted as her own strategy, as this appearance — a fund-raising event hosted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations — came just weeks after her comments sparked national controversy and exposed a generational divide within the Democratic party on its approach to Israel, the pro-Israel lobby The American Israel Public Affairs Committee and anti-Semitism.
Outside the hotel ahead of the event were at least 1,000 people protesting, creating a sea of American and Israeli flags along Canoga Avenue and picket signs with messages the likes of of “Your hate makes us stronger,” on Omar’s face covered by a swastika.
“I say raise hell, make people uncomfortable,” said Omar to emphatic applause. “Because here’s the truth. For far too long, we have lived with the discomfort of living as second class citizens and I’m tired of it,” she said, pointing to scrutiny and discrimination she said American Muslims faced in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks and during the administration of President Donald Trump, which has sought a travel ban from some Muslim-dominant nations.
She is getting the education she ask for. She is grateful !!! Be happy for her !!!
“Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” she wrote on Twitter.
There was music and dancing and vitriolic comments against Omar. Everyone was having a grateful moment.

Yet everyone is silent on the anti-AA trope: Benjamins. Israeli internet trolls didn't realize that Ben Franklin is on the $100 bill (not a slap against Bibi)! The dismissal of African-American Vernacular English's rich contributions to the General American lexicon by Know-Knothings as "n-gger talk" is equally or more outrageous.
1 Ilhan Omar is harmless. (Just like, 1 AOC is harmless)....My concern is, what happens if we get 20 more, 50 more, 100 more.
Now, we have a problem.
