Ilhan Omar Wields Her Influence

Few fifth columnists have been more brazen than Ilhan Omar, the Somali Muslima who does her best to bring down America from her moonbat-infested Minneapolis congressional district. But even she tries to keep some things under wraps:

[Omar] has been holding a series of secret fundraisers with groups that have been tied to the support of terrorism, appearances that have been closed to the press and hidden from public view.

The speeches have been given to “predominately Muslim audiences.” Given her history, it is doubtful that she tells them to forsake jihad and revere America.

Omar recently spoke in Florida at a private event hosted by Islamic Relief, a charity organization long said to have deep ties to groups that advocate terrorism against Israel. Over the weekend, she [appeared] at another private event in California that is hosted by CAIR-CA PAC, a political action committee affiliated with the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR a group that was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a massive terror-funding incident. …

Islamic Relief has come under congressional investigation for what lawmakers have described as its efforts to provide assistance to terrorist group such as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The charity has been banned by some countries as a result of these ties.

At the CAIR event,

“I say raise hell. Make people uncomfortable,” Rep. Omar said to the excited audience. “Because here’s the truth, for far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen and frankly I am tired of it, and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it.”

Recent history provides plenty of examples of Muslims making Americans uncomfortable, the most prominent being 9/11. Further inflaming Muslims against America is irresponsible, to put mildly.

Despite her fundraising activity on behalf of groups linked to Islamic terror, the Democrat Party sees fit to place this freshman congresscritter on the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee, enabling her to sabotage US policy. She has used her position on this committee to make a spectacle of her hatred of the United States.

This is ominous:

[O]n Sept. 18, 2017, a relatively unknown Minnesota state representative flew to New York City to hold a closed-door meeting with the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was in town for the 72nd U.N. General Assembly. This meeting of now-Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., with Mr. Erdogan, the despotic ruler of Turkey, went almost entirely unreported, as it was not open to the press and Omar was not a high-profile figure.

Erdogan is an Islamist dictator who opposes American interests in the Middle East. Omar led the Minnesota-based Somali colonist delegation that met with him.

This is quite remarkable, given that Omar was then a mere Minnesota state representative, meeting face to face with the leader of an 80-million-person nation with one of the most powerful militaries in the world. … Omar not only met with Erdogan, but also with the Turkish prime minister and other senior Turkish officials.

Omar was there to represent Somalis, not Americans.

Erdogan’s administration has continuously bailed out the corrupt dictatorship in Somalia, providing its leadership with military support, economic aid, and even food rations when necessary. In late 2017, Turkey opened up a large military base in Somalia and has since given weapons and aid to Somali soldiers.

Now that she is on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Erdogan must have her on speed dial.
