Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar was met by a chanting of boos and calls to “get the f–k out” when she appeared onstage at a music festival in Minneapolis over the weekend.
Saturday night’s event featuring Somali singer Suldaan Seeraar showed Omar (D-Minn.), the first Somali American elected to Congress, walk onto the stage with her husband, Tim Mynett.
The crowd at the Target Center instantly started a torrent of boos that lasted for over a minute. Others in the mostly Somali audience shouted “Get out” and some yelled “Get the f–k out of here.”
Omar, a member of the progressive “Squad” that includes Bronx and Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), tried to calm the unruly gathering.
“OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, we don’t have all night,” Omar said as she made a “tamp it down” gesture with her hands.
Omar’s Twitter account shows her taking the stage, but the clip is cut off 14 seconds in, when the booing begins.
It’s unclear what sparked the outburst against Omar, but the Republican challenging the two-term incumbent suggested her comments on LGBTQ issues and opposition to the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade played a role.
”Ilhan Omar’s BOOOD by nearly 10K SOMALIS at a sold out, highly anticipated Somali music concert at Target Center in Minneapolis!,” Shukri Abdirahman posted on Twitter.
“This is what she gets for trading her Godly, Conservative values for the sinful LGBTQIA’s & the promiscuous abortionists.”
The jeers may also have been a response to comments Omar made during a town hall event last week, during which she said she experienced more violence in her adopted home state than in a Kenyan refugee camp.
“For four years in the camp I did not witness that kind of violence … My first year in Minnesota I both saw a person shot at Peavey Park, dead on the floor, three weeks after my father and I arrived in Minneapolis,” the congresswoman said June 30. “Six months later I watched the Minneapolis police put 38 bullets into the body of a mentally disabled Somali immigrant who didn’t speak English. So for six years I had the privilege of not seeing any violence until I moved to Minnesota.”
Omar, who also has a history of anti-Semitic comments, is heavily favored to win a third term representing her district, which covers all of the city of Minneapolis.
Omar’s anti-American campaign is coming back to roost as she openly campaigns her ongoing “America Last” rhetoric. Her ignorance of American Culture and her disdain for the things that make up the strengths of this Nation will be her downfall.
Personally I think it will lead to our downfall. Her ignorance and distaste for American culture and traditions is appealing to to our younger generations. I think anything she says is similar to ingesting a poison. Once it’s been introduced, if nothing is done about it, then it has the ability to quickly spread throughout the system and kill it from within.
The fact that she’s been elected twice and has a chance for a third term… The fact that there are already four other progressive nutcases just like her in the House… And the fact that the Democratic Party is determined to ruin this country are the reasons why I say her continued rhetoric might just help lead to our nations’ downfall. I hope I’m wrong though.
Maybe the good people of Minnesota will vote in a candidate who will respect all life and people. Progressives need to go
I think the good people of Minnesota that you’re referring to left her District. Illon Omar has served two terms and is looking at a third term. Add the fact that the largest concentration of Muslims anywhere in the world besides the Middle East is right there in Minnesota so I don’t think she’ll be going away anytime soon. One of these days she may even look at running for Senator…
I agree with you, Progressives need to go.
Don,t you just love it when you are so HATED
Fuck Ilhan Omar
A PLA operative whom is elected by a bunch of refugees in Minnesota where anyone can vote not just American citizens. How far down must we go before enough people realize this is Soros and other globalist trying to destroy this great country.
That bitch needs to leave, she hates America so much, well get the hell out. Go back to your shithole country of origin.
It’s hard enough to hear people born and raised in America voice hatred for the country. To hear someone like Omar voice it, it’s understandable when someone yells GO HOME or GET OUT. America has opened its door to so many that don’t want to live the American dream and support it. They hate what that dream stands for. These are the people the Democrat party seem to want and represent. What does that tell you about the party?
A damn shame someone didn’t shoot the fucking Cunt !
Agree!!!!
Agree!!!!
i dont like her and she needs to leave america if she hates it so much
Can’t stand this filthy America hater bitch Ilhan Omar the nasty cynical smirk on her ugly face the way she is openly stating her hate against the American People . Yeah … GTFO Ilhan Omar…!
I find her to be more american than most republicans. OUTRIGHT, most republicans are more republican than they are American. It’s a fact she criticizes american policy frequently. Republicans and conservatives are frequently and generally complicit in outmoded and outdated ideas.
