First, Ilhan Omar Cursed out a Reporter; Now She Makes It Even Worse in Dust-Up on X

Earlier in the week, a reporter politely asked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) if she thought that more of her Democratic colleagues should go to El Salvador to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Omar's response was nuts.

Warning for graphic language:

"I think you should f--- off," she replied angrily, refusing to answer Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Myles Morell's perfectly reasonable question.

Morell asked the question because there had been a report that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was discouraging more trips. Then Jeffries' team denied it, so it was an issue in the news. But it was not an issue it appears Omar wanted to talk about.

This was a bad response from a member of Congress to a reasonable question. Had it been a Republican, it probably would have been all over the liberal media.

Omar decided to double down and make it worse, when she saw Libs of TikTok tweeted the above video.

I said what I said. You and all your miserable trolls can f*ck off. https://t.co/qxqqAhaIEc

"I said what I said. You and all your miserable trolls can f--- off," she wrote.

Yikes. Is this how she addresses American citizens? She didn't learn anything from the backlash over her first remarks. She thinks because she's in Congress that she can treat people like that, rather than that she's supposed to be serving the people and treating citizens with respect.

Omar also wants to seem tough with this response, as though she's proud of cursing people out. But then, she doesn't even spell it out all the way. So that's contradictory. If she said what she said, then why hide any of it, why censor it, if she's proud she did it?

Then too, Libs of TikTok didn't even say anything in a trolling way about Omar, she just reposted the report with a "Wow." But what a way to show it got to her, when Omar reacts like this.

Cursing seems to be a Democratic thing lately, as though someone had sent out an order to Democrats telling them to curse more to act like they're doing something. They're still not doing anything other than cursing and yelling about President Donald Trump. Then they wonder why they have low approval, and they're not appealing to the American people.

The American people want representatives who care about the issues that are important to them. They don't desire performative theater or a lot of empty talk. I don't think you convey you care about someone's issues when you're cursing at them.

This was a reasonable question and it wasn’t asked rudely or in her space unnecessarily. https://t.co/qL68C3vwf0
