The politicians named in this thread appear to have something in common! |
Do you know that for a fact? Because having a young aid set up in an office with a secret door to the Oval office and who steamed his pants while he was wearing them seems hinky to me. And then she was deported to California... |
She's such a hypocrite. The purpose of wearing the hijab is the same purpose behind religious Jewish women covering their hair (after they are married): One's hair is thought to be alluring to men, and a wife does not want to attract sexual interest from other men. So Omar wears the hijab as a symbol of this - and then commits adultery.
And please, for you leftists out there, stop racing to her defense simply because she is a Muslim. She's a hypocrite (among other things). |
Not a leftist, but you're wrong here. The hijab is more of a cultural symbol than a religious one; it's actually meant to mimic the Virgin Mary (yes- yes. Look it up.) But you're also wrong because Muslim women aren't worse than anyone else when they are adulterers. Omar's love pentagram would be as distasteful if she were a white woman from Connecticut as it is right now. And that she can get away with no answering legitimate questions about immigration fraud and campaign finance violations is much more concerning to me than how awful of a wife she appears to be. |
I agree that her (potential) fraud invoking immigration reform and finance violations is more concerning,, but you are wrong about the meaning behind the hijab - and why her wearing of it shows her hypocrisy. The very word means "barrier," and it is associated with modesty (just like Orthodox Jewish women cover their hair). She makes Muslim women look bad by wearing a symbol of modesty - and then opening her legs for one man while married to another. https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/beliefs/hijab_1.shtml |
Shouldn't have said fraud involving immigration reform - just fraud involving her immigration. |
Look, I lived in a Muslim country for years and I am confident I know the history of the hijab. And that women wear it regardless of their "standing" in the faith. You're wrong to make this about her being Muslim. She doesn't make other Muslim women look bad because this has nothing to do with her being Muslim. Just like white male senators who sleep around don't make all white men look bad. This is about Ilhan Omar. Not her religion. Full stop. |
This. It's okay to criticize a person (even a racial or religious minority---and especially an elected official in a position of power) when they actually do something wrong. Don't defend her. She's just as trashy as cheater Miley Cyrus. Both seem to have the morals of an alley cat. Now that we know this about her, it's fair to question her true motives and agenda since we have no reason to believe her political actions are driven by some pure moral compass. You know who cheats? Selfish people who lack empathy and can't exercise self-restraint. You know who takes big risks and cheats with colleagues? People who believe they'll never get caught, or if they do their position/power will protect them. She's demonstrated that she really only cares about herself and she isn't concerned about her reputation at all. |
She is either stupid, naive, or arrogant.
This is a woman who has been in the news quite a bit recently. She was recently found guilty of campaign fraud for paying for out of state travel while serving as a state representative and using campaign funds to pay for IRS assistance. It was also revealed that she filed joint tax returns with a man to whom she was not married. And, local MN reporters continue to dig into her marriage to a man some have said is her brother for immigration purposes. And, now this. Did she think nobody would notice? Or, does she just not care? Does she think nobody will question the payments made to this man? Perhaps the payments were all above board, but why bring even more scrutiny on one's personal life and finances? |
I think she's reached a comfortable level of delusion just like the potus. She thinks she's untouchable now. She can either defend herself using her platform, or she can rely on her defenders on social media to handle it for her. Bottom line: she doesn't care. Just like we call out Potus for being unfit and unpresidential, we should similarly call her out. That lady has zero class. I wonder if AOC and others will finally distance themselves from her? |
better than Brigitte and Emmanuel |
LOL! I think we should have ended the thread here. #thebestendingever #happilyeverafter |
It's about Omar NOT respecting her religion. She used her religion for political gain and now she SHOULD BE eating crow. But something tells me she'll just keep on keeping on. |
+ 1,000,000 I don’t understand her intent of the head covering, except to fool people. |
If moral perfection was a requirement for public office, the halls of congress would be empty and so would the White House. |
