My latest in PJ Media:
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu), the moral lodestar of today’s Democrat party, is unhappy with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) for rejecting Biden’s handlers’ breathtakingly expensive and wasteful socialism and climate change fantasy bill. Given the Democrat leadership’s abject fear of appearing to be “Islamophobic” by crossing Omar, this could be the most serious challenge yet to Manchin’s role as a sane man in the party of liars, looters, and lunatics.
Omar appeared Sunday on MSNBC’s Velshi, where the host, Ali Velshi, played her Manchin’s remarks on Fox News Sunday. “You have the, uh, debt we’re carrying at 29 trillion dollars,” explained the senator. “You have also the geopolitical unrest that we have. You have the Covid, the Covid, uh, variant. Uh, and that is wreaking havoc again. People are concerned. I’ve been with my family. I know everyone’s concerned. So when you see these things coming at you the way they are right now, I’ve always said this, Bret: if I can’t go home and explain it to people of West Virginia, I can’t vote for it, and I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation, I just can’t.”
Velshi further quoted Manchin saying: “I’ve tried everything humanly possible, I can’t get there. … On this legislation, I’ve tried everything I know how to do.”
Hearing this, Omar first laughed derisively, and then said, “Uh, I mean, we all knew that, uh, Senator Manchin couldn’t be trusted. Um, you know, the, the excuses that he just made, um, I think, are complete bulls**t. Um, it is really disheartening, uh, to hear him say that he has been trying to get there for the people of West Virginia, um, uh, because that’s a complete lie. The people of West Virginia would greatly benefit, um, from their families having access to, you know, long-term elderly care, uh, and care for, um, folks with disabilities. They would, uh, benefit, from the, uh, expansion of the child tax credits. They will benefit from having access to, um, pre-K. Uh, there are just so many things that, you know, the people of West Virginia desperately need. Uh, and we know that he is not, um, working on, uh, behalf of their interests. And I really am just completely disappointed and disgusted by his reasoning.”
Omar amplified her denunciation of Manchin by tweeting: “Let’s be clear: Manchin’s excuse is bulls**t. The people of West Virginia would directly benefit from childcare, pre-Medicare expansion, and long term care, just like Minnesotans. This is exactly what we warned would happen if we separated Build Back Better from infrastructure.” She added in another tweet: “West Virginia is 50th in public health[,] 50th in childcare[,] 48th in employment[.] They support Build Back Better by a 43 point margin. This has nothing to do with his constituents. This is about the corruption and self-interest of a coal baron.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
According to Ilhan Omar, West Virginians “support Build Back Better by a 43 point margin.” Let x be the percentage of West Virginians who oppose BBB. Then the percentage of supporters of BBB is x+43. Supporters + opposers = 100%, so x+(x+43)=100, 2x = 100-43 = 57, so the percentage of opposers is x=57/2= 28.5%, and percentage of supporters is x+43 = 28.5+43 = 71.5%.
Can anyone find polling data that agrees with this?

She doesn’t realize that WV is not populated with Somalis hoping to cash in on more free American $$$.

Westman says
Omar was slick in intimating that all those polled replied yes or no – only binary replies. Generally there are those who are unsure or don’t care, replies which she is not including. We also don’t know if the question was phrased to elicit a wanted response.
Mendacity has been the trademark of her past personal life. She certainly joins Bette Middler in their racism of low expectation for west Virginians.
mortimer says
Little miss know-it-all. Did the people of West Virginia not choose Manchin, rather than Omar as their rep?
How did this arrogant, vulgar wind-bag get elected? Are the Minnesotans out of their minds?
Joe Manchin, on the other hand, ALWAYS speaks civilly, measuredly and reasonably. What a fine politician.
libertyORdeath says
Actually, many of the Minnesotans have left after much of the state became little Somalia. I have one living next door here in Free Florida right now.
Violet C says
When is that vulgar windbag going to be deported?

Wicked, foul-mouthed, ugly inside and out, witch of the “west.”
The time will come when Justice will be served on this slime, i.elmi, fraudulently called i. omar.

I cannot stand this Female Genitally Mutilated bitch.
somehistory says
She pushes all of my puke buttons. If I never saw her ugly face again, heard her lazy tongue, or read some lie she wrote, I would not give her foulness another thought.
OLD GUY says
Omar the perfect enslavement of an islamic women. Puppet for the All Male islamic leadership that pull her strings. We don’t need her or islam running any part of our government, just take a look at how well they do in their home countries. I don’t want to live in any muslim/islamic country. Do YOU?
E T says
Joe Manchin has always been a gentleman and an incredible people’s representative, a true Patriot.

Ilhan Omar Rejects Manchin’s ‘Complete Bulls**t,’ Says She Knows What’s Best for the People of West Virginia
…………….
Just grotesque from the purveyor of stealth Jihad.
Ands I heard some moron (sorry, I didn’t catch his name) on MSNBC saying that anyone who didn’t want to pass this bankrupting bill was ‘trying to destroy democracy’.
Even if one supported this porkbarrel, this rhetoric would be nothing but cynical claptrap.
