Ilhan Omar says she is in Congress to help Somalia
2024-01-29
[Twitchy] The link shows parts of a speech by Representative Omar. The speech is in Somali (there are English subtitles). She called for genocide of non Somalis (e.g. Ethiopian, Kenyan) groups in Somalia. Calls for war against Somaliland. Lots of other vile and crazy stuff.
As is their habit, Twitchy has a nice collection of tweets on the subject with framing commentary, well worth perusing. Interestingly, there is nothing about this in our usual Somali news sources. Perhaps they are too appalled to write about it. Or perhaps they are just slower off the mark — Red State provides additional discussion and the response of a Somaliland ambassadress:

#6  @Rex - they trolled us with that somali looking new flag design. But the next day or so, they announced the winner and it was not the somali looking one.

#4  I am really sort of surprised the left hasn't made a harder push to eliminate any oath to anything except your chosen tribe, non-Christian religion or "gender."

#2  Ilhan Omar — ‘I am in Congress to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.’

Having open and freely stated as such, she has violated her OATH OF OFFICE.

"“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”"

18 U.S.C. 1918:
“Whoever violates the provisions of section 7311 of title 5 that an individual may not accept or hold a position in the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Columbia if he (1) advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of government [and] shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year and a day or both.”

#1  Suddenly MN choice of new flag makes perfect sense. Somalis might not run US gummint as she claims but they do seem to have captured MN.
