Ilhan Omar is a vile, hateful, gross human being. Ever since she was first elected to Congress, her attitudes have been atrocious and bigoted. And yet Democrats always found a way to spin an excuse for her.
Well, this time the Congresswoman has stepped in quite a pile of doo-doo. How Democrats try to spin the smell off this one is beyond me, but my best guess? They ignore it completely because Ilhan Omar didn’t give this speech in English.
For context, one of the issues that Ilhan Omar was ranting about was the breakaway government in Somalia that calls itself “Somaliland.” Just a few days ago, the Somaliland leaders signed an agreement with Ethiopia for access to the coast, apparently for their navy.
The deal has been condemned by regional and international groups, as well as Western countries, which say it interferes with Somalia’s territorial integrity and is causing tensions that could threaten stability in the Horn of Africa region.
Somalia has also protested the deal as a threat to its sovereignty by Somaliland, a region strategically located along the Gulf of Aden that broke away from Somalia in 1991 as the country collapsed into warlord-led conflict. Somaliland has not been internationally recognized.
