Tucker Carlson: "Ilhan Omar has contempt for the United States"

[Badger]

Imagine being an American citizen for 19 years & still being labeled as un-American & unpatriotic smh

Don’t like Tucker at all but he is correct In that  Omar has contempt for this nation . She  has proven time and time again that she is an completely ungrateful person who dislikes the nation who gave her a much better life .


Remember she once implied that the US troops committed a terrorist attack in Somalia in 93 .

Just to be clear, this is the quote of hers which he responded to with his racist rant:

"I grew up in an extremely unjust society, and the only thing that made my family excited about coming to the United States was that the United States was supposed to be the country that guaranteed justice to all. So, I feel it necessary for me to speak about that promise that's not kept."

She said she loves America & wants us to live up to our potential. This isn't contempt for our nation. It's patriotism.

Ok Tucker using that quote was dumb but she has past quotes to prove she has contempt for this nation


In a tweet which was about the worst terrorist attacked in Somalian history she said that the US troops committed the biggest attack . She has countless more examples showing her contempt of this nation

No, she didn't say that American troops committed the biggest terrorist attack in Somalian history. The actual context was that Al Franken tweeted "Devastating news that the terrorist attack in Somalia has now claimed the lives of at least 230; the worst attack in the country's history," which somebody replied to by saying, "Actually, the worst terrorist attack in Somalia history was the Battle of Mogadishu- 19 US armed forces dead and 73 wounded," prompting somebody else to reply, ""All lives matter" even though 230 is more than 10 times 19," to which she replied, "In his selective memory, he forgets to also mention the thousands of Somalis killed by the American forces that day! #NotTodaySatan"... so no, she wasn't criticizing American forces; she was simply commenting on how somebody else had shown a complete disregard for the lives of innocent Somalis caught in the crossfire of the Black Hawk Down operation.

That literally is her implying that American Troops committed a terrorist attack in Somalia In that case context makes things far worse for her not better.


Oh and there are other anti-Americans in Congress such as Steve King

No. It's not. If you, y'know, literally took 1 second to look into the facts of what went down during that 1993 Black Hawk Down military operation in Mogadishu, then you would know that (& understand that what she's referring to is that) there were many innocent Somalis caught in the crossfire of the operation, & that she (unlike the person she was responding to) wasn't disregarding their lives as well. That's not the same thing as implying it was a terrorist attack though, let alone calling it one, & she's not the one who did, so stop acting as if it was her who did because, again, it wasn't.

No you are wrong here:


The original tweet was talking about what was the biggest terrorist attack in Somalia history and so was the Franklin Tweet responding to it then Omar responded by saying " In his selective memory, he forgets to also mention the thousands of Somalis killed by the American forces that day!" .

It cant get any clearer

I legitimately quoted the entirety of the relevant twitter theard within my earlier reply, so, in actuality, it can't get any clearer than that really.

And the twitter thread was what I was addressing and thats exactly what was talked about

Yes, but in addressing it, you were mischaracterizing what she said as a result of having ignored the full context.

No I am the one considering all the context

Beep boop. Critical thinking and Analysis functions disabled. Run Omar is anti-American Loop. Repeat. Beep boop. Repeat. Beep boop....

[Badger]

Remember, when the right-wing says "Anti-American" what they mean is "Anti-Republican".  Because to the Republicans, "America" isn't about a set of ideals, it's about them being in charge.

And Democrats believe in "American ideals"? The Constitution, economic liberty, rule of law?...

Rather much so , I would argue. The only distinction would be economic Liberty oh, but only if one defines that has the oligarchic Enron style crony capitalism that Republicans are enamored with where nothing can't be solved with a upper income tax cut and decreasing unionization and environmental regulation.

Tucker has said horrible and racist things many times before but him saying Omar holds contempt for this nation is not one of them

This. I hope Omar gets successfully primaried next year. She and Steve King are the worst members of the House from each side.

She's probably not even in the bottom 20. She is though, one of the worst Democrats

[Badger]

"Contempt for America" is fine talk coming from a fascist.

[Badger]

Tucker is a white supremacist and anybody defending him is a white supremacist.

Anyone who doesn’t hate white people is a white supremacist

I will say I'm sorry Omar won her primary.  I mean Kama Tucker Carlson and his acolytes like fuzzy bear can absolutely choke on a bag of them, but it doesn't mean Omar isn't a pretty pretty lousy Congresswoman  Who plays futsy all too closely with anti-Semites.

Kind of agree with you, but Omar somehow gets the GOP to show its racist violent ways a lot better than most politicians.  She really puts their behavior on full display for all to see.

Nah,  They find plenty of other points of "inspiration" to trigger them.

They do seem to get enraged quite easily I suppose.  Why is that?

 The world is changing and they hate it. Tdeep down they understand that maintain maintaining power via Jerry Mandarin commair remindering, electoral college, voter suppression laws, et cetera is at best a temporary measure. North Carolina republicans look north to VirginiaYet for a worst case scenario of what will happen, and other Southern States look at North Carolina and Georgia
