Trump Amps Up Attacks On Ilhan Omar!

Ilhan Omar is a strong Black woman in a world of hate and utter stupidity. May she keep fighting for what's right.
I'm gonna be his worst nightmare.....

Protecting the status quo is a problem here in the United States. We have women of color under attack from far-white agitators and this country's president. I hate to say this, but we're heading right towards fascism.

While in North Carolina, bigot Donald J. Trump continues his attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

For 15 seconds, Trump basked in the chants of "Send Her Back" from his vicious supporters. He took talking points from two far-white lunatics who have history of peddling anti-Muslim and anti-Black rhetoric.



On Thursday, Trump disowned the rhetoric. He was pressured by Melania, Ivanka and Jared Kushner to tone it down. Mike Pence even got an earful from Republicans who were scared to openly criticize the bigot-in-chief.



He claimed that he found the remarks and chants were not apart of his campaign. That disavowing of the remarks only lasted a fucking day.


When asked about his unhappiness with the chants in North Carolina, Trump quickly turned his criticism to Omar.

"You know what I'm unhappy with? The fact that a congresswoman can hate our country," Trump said. "I'm unhappy with the fact that a congresswoman can say anti-Semitic things."

"I'm unhappy when a congresswoman goes and says, 'I'm going to be the president's nightmare,'" he added, referencing comments Omar made upon arriving back in Minnesota. "She's going to be the president's nightmare. She's lucky to be where she is, let me tell you. And the things that she has said are a disgrace to our country."

Here's tweets from our dear imbecile.

Omar is one of the four lawmakers singled out by Trump and Republicans. They were told to "go back" to where they came and it's riled up folks.

Taking the role of Pam Geller and Laura Loomer, Trump made an explosive claim that Omar was married to her brother. Omar called the allegations baseless and dismissed the attacks on her patriotism.

When she returned to Minneapolis, she was greeted with a hero's welcome. Trump called it a staged event and then proceeded to place Israel ahead of the United States. He claimed that Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib's criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic.

He also singled out the junk food media for allowing the attention from his great approval  of 50% (courtesy of Rasmussen).

Omar, Tlaib, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are being told that they will have to get more protection from the U.S. Capitol Police. Also Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) will get protection. She was threatened by a Pentagon contractor who left a disturbing and yes threatening voice mail on her office phone. He will be charged for threatening a government worker.
21st Century's most divisive president. A former reality television star turned politician.
The suspect could face up to five years in federal time out for this. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Trump decided to get an extra hand in the matter. He posted a clip of Fox News. He decided to play "softball." On that far-white agitator's program, Sean "Softball" Hannity introduces far-white agitator Mark Levin and they get to work on how the "Send Her Back" remarks weren't racist.




Levin on his phony outrage kick decided to rant about how Omar didn't do much for Somalia or the Middle East. He made the phony claims that she's only about herself.

Soon after the clip, Trump reversed his reversal in a big way. He slammed the congresswoman and praised the rally attendees as "incredible patriots."

"When I said I was the president's nightmare, well you're watching it now," she said. "We are going to continue to be a nightmare to this president, because his policies are a nightmare to us. And we are not deterred, we are not frightened, we are ready."

Omar came under bipartisan scrutiny earlier this year for suggesting U.S. lawmakers support Israel because of lobbyists and that those who press for supporting Israel were pushing "allegiance to a foreign country."

The House later voted on a resolution broadly condemning anti-Semitism and bigotry in the wake of her comments. Republicans were critical of the resolution, which did not explicitly mention Omar or her remarks.

Trump's renewed focus on Omar is a shift from just a day earlier, when he sought to distance himself from the chants of "send her back."

The president told reporters Thursday that "was not happy" with the chant and that he "disagreed with it."

    Go, Mrs. Ilhan Omar! Tell the powers that be to shut up and listen to women of Color.

    Let me conclude by using a quote from 19th century activist and civil rights champion, Mary Church Terrell:

    "Nobody wants to know a colored woman's opinion about her own status of that of her group. When she dares express it, no matter how mild or tactful it may be, it is called 'propaganda,' or is labeled 'controversial.' Those two words have come to have a very ominous sound to me."- Mary Church Terrell
