Ilhan Omar isn’t soft on terrorists. You people are just taking her out of context. If you just stop and listen to what she has to say, you’ll realize that she takes terrorism very, very seriously:

We know this will probably sound crazy to the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, but mocking people for being frightened of bloodthirsty terrorists is actually a pretty terrible look.

This is some crazy stuff. https://t.co/dCapPe8YTL — Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) April 11, 2019

So basically, she’s been at this crap for years.

Dear journalists, ignore this video, but understand that no one undermines media credibility more than you. A sitting Congresswoman mocking Americans fearing a terror group who murdered 3000 of our fellow Americans. If you’re ignoring this, you shouldn't be trusted. https://t.co/my5SREYkmy — The Reagan Battalion (@ReaganBattalion) April 11, 2019

And if you’re ignoring the video with an excuse that it may be out of context, it's not. Here is the full original video, this is exactly what @IlhanMN said and intended to say. Apparently, she thinks Al-Qaeda & terror is a hilarious joke https://t.co/wfgCUxMIUO https://t.co/7sCY4u7ryl — The Reagan Battalion (@ReaganBattalion) April 11, 2019

While she wasn’t a sitting congresswoman at the time she made those remarks, she makes it quite clear on a regular basis that as a current sitting U.S. Representative, she isn’t all that interested in taking a stand against radical Islamist terrorists.

And the people who continually go out on a limb for her have to realize that eventually that limb will break. https://t.co/ESgMAhCazj — Karol Markowicz (@karol) April 11, 2019

Between this, Omar’s recent comments downplaying 9/11 during a CAIR event, her repeated anti-Semitic tropes against Jews & Israel…this woman doesn’t deserve a seat on the House Foreign Affairs committee.

She should be resoundingly condemned not given cover anymore. https://t.co/c4pXo7oXj3 — Tara Setmayer (@TaraSetmayer) April 11, 2019

Update:

It should be pretty obvious by now that Ilhan Omar isn’t as tough on terrorism as AOC would like us to believe, but juuuuuust in case you needed further proof:

We must confront that our nation was founded by genocide and we maintain global power through neocolonialism. https://t.co/KAcXjqUw7u — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) August 17, 2017

In this article, she then states, "Our national avoidance tactic has been to shift the focus to potential international terrorism." Does this sound like someone who takes terrorism seriously? https://t.co/jdlvR3IhV0 — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 11, 2019

Nope. It sure as hell does not.
