Rep. Ilhan Omar also under attack by GOP

When will it stop?

Someone should take a photo of that woman, place it over a picture of a lynching...with the words:

"Not all whites are Klan members, but all Klan members are white"

Perhaps one with the same woman, over a photo of Auschwitz...with the words:

"Not all Christians were Nazis, but all the Nazis in Auschwitz were Christian"

Post them all over the internet and see how that plays!

At the State DFL Convention where I was a Walz Delegate. Rep. Omar was down to earth, well informed, and articulated her thoughts on many things when she was taking with others. She is not how the haters in the GOP depict her.

If this were an official protected by them, this guy would surely have a visit by now.

All I could find:

Mike Caputo D Marion forced doors open. He apologized for forcing door open to chambers for the Republicans take the rotunda day. The sargent at arms resigned after anti muslim remarks.
I thought it was funny where WV republican chair Melody Potter said that republicans don't codone or support hate speech. I guess they forgot to tell their base and Trump that.
