Ilhan Omar: Rioters “were terrorized by the presence of tanks, by the presence of the National Guard”

Jun 1, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Omar doesn’t say, and Stephanopoulos of course doesn’t ask, why the tanks and the National Guard were there in the first place. They were called out because the rioters she supports were terrorizing innocent people, destroying small businesses (and large ones) that had nothing whatsoever to do with George Floyd, and causing billions of dollars of damage. But Omar knows that victim status is currency in our ridiculous society, the key to gaining genuine power and influence, and she, as a black Muslim migrant, is very, very rich, and avid to get even richer.

“Rep Omar: Some Protestors ‘Felt Terrorized By The Presence Of The National Guard And The Militarized Police,’” by Jeff Dunetz, The Lid, May 31, 2020 (thanks to the Geller Report):

…[Ilhan Omar’s] May 31st appearance on This Week With Bill Clinton’s Press Secretary George Stephanopoulos was no different. The two spoke about the riots incited by the killing of George Floyd by a Minnesota policeman as his partner watched and did nothing.

Stephanopoulos, the Clinton operative, asked the newly wedded Rep Omar, “Did the National Guard get things under control last night?”

Omar’s answer implied that the National Guard, who didn’t show up into the protesters were replaced by rioters, were terrorists.

I think last night, the community did feel phased to know that there will not be a burning of their businesses and their homes. We are obviously worried and feeling terrorized about that prospect, but there really was also many people who chose to demonstrate and not abide by the curfew, who felt like they also were terrorized by the presence of tanks, by the presence of the National Guard and the militarized police.

…Omar continued:

And as you said, George, our country is in pain. People can’t get that image of George Floyd having the life choked out of him by a police officer who was supposed to protect and serve our community. But this also is a reminder that we are living in a country that has truly for a long time brutalized African-Americans, from slavery, to lynching, to Jim Crow, to mass incarceration and now to police brutality.

…Liberal activist and host George Stephanopoulos asked, “You faced threats inspired by President Trump in the past, what would you like the hear from him now?”

Threats?  I was threatened based on Omar’s anti-Semitism, which the Democrats in Congress refused to address. How did Trump inspire threats? Is he talking about the tweet that Trump sent out challenging The Squad, freshman Democratic members of congress  Ayanna Pressley (M.A.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (MI), and Ilhan Omar (M.N.) to show they could do better than him? The tweets that the liberal politicians and media claimed was telling them to move back to the countries of origin.

Trump’s tweet told them to fix the countries of their heritage and then come back and show him how they did it. He wasn’t telling them to move, nor was he inciting violence against them.

Omar’s response included:

This president has failed in really understanding the kind of pain and anguish many of his citizens are feeling. When you have a president who really is glorifying violence and was talking about the kind of vicious dogs and weapons that could be unleashed on citizens, it is quite appalling and disturbing.

When did Trump talk about Dogs and weapons to be unleashed on citizens?

Perhaps she was talking about Trump’s Friday tweet, which was censored by Twitter.

When asked what he meant by the looting and shooting, the President explained it was a warning against violence:

Either way, Trump did not mention “Dogs and weapons to be unleashed on citizens.” A real reporter would have asked her what she was talking about. But we aren’t talking about a real reporter. We’re talking about George Stephanopoulos, who used to be a senior member of Team Clinton. He wants Omar to be able to skew her story and spread lies….

    The poor woman would obviously be happier in a country without tanks in the streets. I remember a time when the U.S. was like that – which was in the days before I knew anything about her or her religion of hate. I wish her good luck in finding a country that is full of people just like her but without men with guns and tanks in the streets. She should go there as soon as possible.

    Rioters “were terrorized by the presence of tanks, by the presence of the National Guard and the militarized police.”

    Maybe I’m missing something, but isn’t that the whole point behind a show of force?

  5. Or Else! says

    Jun 1, 2020 at 1:55 pm

    And yet, gruesome images and videos of jihadis beheading “infidels” are met with: “That’s not the real Islam! That’s not all Muslims! All religions have fanatics who misinterpret….!” blah blah blah.

    The Left’s flawgic is astounding. Only a tungsten confirmation bias can’t see the hypocrisy and lies.

  6. CogitoErgoSum says

    Yes, and flying planes into buildings is “some people did something.” Well, some people are doing something with tanks. Not sure what it is but it sure is something.

  8. Or Else! says

    It’s time to get specific. It was the Democrat Party (north and south) that fought against Lincoln’s abolitionist plans. It was the Democrat Party who institutionalized Jim Crow laws/segregation. The KKK sprang from the Democrat Party.

    While the Democrats are busy re-writing history, they’re making sure to blame the Republicans for all of it.

    The Leftards and the jihadists agree on the use of taqiyya against conservatives, but the Leftards should realize that the Muslims will use taqiyya ‘liberally’ when talking to their Libtarded allies.

    Ilhan Omar: Rioters “were terrorized by the presence of tanks, by the presence of the National Guard”
    ………………

    What utter crap. If the rioters were *really* terrified by police and the National Guard, they would not be rioting with impunity in the first place.

  15. AleX says

    Jun 1, 2020 at 10:57 pm

    As we speak, the rioters pinned down and with no escape invented a new chant: ‘Let Us Leave’.
    Well, I guess it’s too late now, is it not? They were warned about the curfew before 7pm.
    But maybe, just maybe, some of them wanted the latest Louis Vuitton hand bag and a new 60” TV screen as vital necessities after the long covid19 distancing.
    Only now they will enjoy a free ride to the precinct in those luxury police buses.

    Only a criminal is terrorised by the presence of the law enforcement. Not a law abiding citizen.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 1, 2020 at 11:44 pm

      Himanshu, this is almost always true–but not always. There is this story:

      “Minneapolis: Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman says he shot her to ‘stop the threat’”

      https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/04/minneapolis-muslim-cop-who-killed-unarmed-woman-says-he-shot-her-to-stop-the-threat

      • Himanshu Sharma says

        Jun 2, 2020 at 4:40 am

        yes, that is also true. We all know that these people are only to terrorise, in whatever clothes they are in. Cop’s uniform or black ISIS dress.

        • gravenimage says

          Jun 4, 2020 at 11:51 pm

          True.

    Ilhan Omar, what an amazing hypocrite she is. Why is she still in congress? If she wants real terror on the streets she could quite easily find it at home in her beloved Somalia!! This woman along with the 3 musketeers are the type of representative the American people can well do without. They constantly stir the pot and create racial tensions in order to get attention and to cause problems within communities and society in general. Tanks on the streets in the US are much less of a threat to people than they would be in the lands of the quarrelsome foursome. Any person who doesn’t want to recognise the law of the land and live in peace and harmony is more than welcome to buy a ticket out!!

  20. Walter Sieruk says

    Omar speaks nonsense, for those rioters are lawless hooligans, so they should afraid of the National Guard.

    Furthermore, since those rioters insist in behaving a lawlessness brutal violent thugs then it stands to reason they the need to be treated as the criminal hooligans they have proven themselves to be, by their own actions

    For hooligans will not respond to reason. So the use of strong National Guard might is appropriated, wise and important..For this is the only language that those rioters will understated.

    As Thomas Jefferson had declared. “With every barbarous people…force is law.”

  21. Jim says

    Jun 2, 2020 at 3:40 pm

    She didn’t say much about the Somali police officer who shot that woman in cold blood, in Minneapolis. Remember, the woman who was armed with a nightgown.

    • Eva says

      Jun 2, 2020 at 5:49 pm

      Yeah, well, that’s something she’d rather not mention. Besides, it was only a sober white woman, not an intoxicated black junkie.
      Everyone knows who REALLY matters these days…

  22. toomanyhobbies says

    Jun 2, 2020 at 5:44 pm

    Well maybe if we just ignored the rioters they would just go away….
    No… wait, they tired that and they looted and burned down entire areas.

    Well maybe if we brought them food and cold drinks while they were protesting…
    no wait someone was doing just that… Humm how did they know how many and how much… AND THEY STILL LOOTED AND BURNED!

    Throw the fear of God into them and maybe they will go home to their mommies, or how about this THEY PROTEST PEACEFULLY!!!

    Poor rioters had an opposition to their criminal behaviour. How dare US send troops so people can’t loot, assault and rape.
