IOW, everything MAGA hates, except the being married to a rich guy part.

She has some dark energy around her. I’m not talking about her politics - they are not so different from my own views.

I’m talking about her aura. She has a messy family life. Very sketchy. She is much more immoral than her supporters will admit.

Her aura is not nearly as dark as say Stephen and Katie Miller. But she’s not that far off from Trump in terms of dark energy.

So now we’re slandering her with woo? I get bad vibes from a lot of people, too.

She an opinionated BLACK woman in politics in a world that doesn't like black women, let alone black women with opinions who do not cower.

Does she identify as Black? Serious question. Americans tend to think the world reflects our divisions. Somalis may not see themselves as Black.

No trolls please. Serious question.

“On Monday, Ms Omar tweeted that ‘we have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.’”

She can jump in a lake as far as I’m concerned.

She’s not wrong.

Technically perhaps. But do you agree with her implication that the US, Taliban and Hamas are morally equivalent?

I emphatically do not. And I think that anyone who does is unfit to serve as a representative of this country.

I don’t see that implication of moral equivalence.

We go from fraud accusations to magic accusations?

If not that, then what was her point?

People hate Omar because she is petite, black, Muslim, female, and consistently and unapologetically wipes the floor with the mediocre white people who dare to consider themselves her betters.

Shes not my favorite politician, but I respect her. I fully believe she would slice someone’s throat if she had to, and they deserved it. She survived a real war and she’s no phony.

People who have survived American atrocities in the Middle East and Vietnam absolutely would consider them morally equivalent. We’ve done some god awful things to innocent people. They might not agree with our self-interested opinion that these atrocities were justified and deserved.

And she made 40 million overnight in Congress. Where did that come from?

I’d suggest we evaluate objectively, not subjectively.

In this case, what she identifies as is less of a factor than what others identify her as. The question is why do people hate her so much.

This is simply not true and shows the dangers of relying on Trump for your news. Here is Omar's financial disclosure form:

https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/financial-pdfs/2024/10068415.pdf

Her biggest asset is her husband's business which is valued between $5 million and $25 million. That is the reporting bracket that was set by Congress. It is just as likely that the business is worth $5 million as it is $25 million, but neither of those is close to the $40 million that you claim.
