It is indeed both. His veto certainly should be getting far more attention than Omar's one sentence.

Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View PostI'll share a couple experiences that might explain my position on all this.
1) After 9/11 when I was pumping gas a truck pulled up with custom lettering that said "kill them all, let Allah sort them out". With a nuclear bomb symbol. Apparently this person was totally comfortable promoting this. I suspect they would not have been comfortable with a nazi symbol or a KKK sticker. But Muslims were totally open season.
2) My wife worked at a school with about third or more students with Somalian and Eritrean ethnicity. Many people kept there kids home one day when apparently someone discovered a "kill a Muslim day" post on facebook.
I have neighbors down the street and the girl looks like a mini Ilhan Omar. She is a bit younger than my kids, but they used to play a little, and she would knock on our door occasionally. It is really horrible for me to think that she and the kids at my wife's school have to put up with bullshit because they are different. and it's even worse when people won't stand up and support them because their only real representative didn't use appropriate rhetoric and composition in her attempt to stand up for them. The whole controversy is total bullshit and pisses me off more than I can describe. I don't think the people who discriminate against them much care about rhetoric, innuendo, eumpehisms, etc. And unfortunately the kids have to just understand that we are all ok with them being something less than American and making sure they know that.

so here is the original thread where we discussed Ilhan's comments. Neither IJ or JJ participated as far as I can tell, but now want to claim "the women as such, it's the vileness they are spewing that Trumps wants in the public eye. Democrats talk of Trump preaching hate. Actions are louder than words and the Squad is hatred personified." Hmmmm….I guess they have another opportunity to tell as all about the hate and vile that AOC and the squad are promotingLast edited by The Feral Slasher; 07-21-2019, 02:12 PM.---------------------------------------------

I ran across this today.
A resolution passed by the Alabama Republican Party says Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar "has engaged in rhetoric that explicitly runs counter to American values and patriotism." Omar responded on Twitter by making reference to former Judge Roy Moore.
RESOLUTION NO 2019-12
Summer Meeting
24 August 2019
Resolution: Support for Rep. Ilhan Omar's expulsion
from the United States Congress
WHEREAS, Rep. Omar has engaged in rhetoric that explicitly runs
counter to American values and patriotism by falsely accusing U.S. armed
forces of committing war crimes while on mission to liberate her home
country of Somalia
WHEREAS, Rep. Omar dismissed the 9/11 terror attacks waged by
radical Islam on the World Trade Center by stating "some people did
something"
WHEREAS, Rep. Omar sympathized with a convicted terrorist and
member of the Islamic State oflraq and Syria by advocating a U.S.
District Judge for sentencing leniency
WHEREAS, Rep. Omar has a disturbing record of using anti-Semitic
language that includes alleging Jewish money is used to buy American
influence regarding its policy toward Israel; Rep. Omar is also a supporter
of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Alabama Republican Party
urges its elected congressional delegation to proceed with the expulsion
process in accordance to Article 1, Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution to
expel Rep. Ilhan Omar from the United States House of Representatives---------------------------------------------

I'm semi-retired, but here you go posting some inane Alabama nonsense. I guess you like slam dunks - but don't like to try basketball shots from a distance.
much more interesting would be your take on NY Congressman Jerry Nadler's take last week on a cartoon RT'd by Omar and Tlaib.
which side are you on?
(((Rep. Nadler)))
@RepJerryNadler
The growing anti-Semitism in our political dialogue is repugnant. @realdonaldtrump’s comments about disloyalty are a vicious and dangerous anti-Semitic trope. And the Carlos Latuff cartoon forwarded by @RepRashida and @Ilhan can surely be read for its vile underlying message.

#lametimeRepresentatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib shared a cartoon by a finalist of Iran's annual Holocaust cartoon contest.
The biggest problem seems to be this cartoonist's past history of over-the-top anti-Semitism (a finalist in the Iranian government's trollish Holocaust cartoon contest), but even in this particular cartoon, I'm troubled by the central placement of the Star of David. It would be different if, say, they put an Israeli flag on Netanyahu's arm and a US flag on Trump's arm to make it easier for readers to know who was being depicted, but a Star of David in the middle of the cartoon could be and perhaps was intended to assign both Netanyahu's and Trump's political attacks on Tlaib and Omar as connected to Judaism.
