“Far-left Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said on Wednesday that President Trump’s response to Iran’s attacks — specifically his call for economic sanctions — ‘makes no sense’….’This makes no sense,’ Omar said of Trump’s call for sanctions, calling it ‘economic warfare.’”

In reality, Trump’s response to Iran, economic and militarily, makes perfect sense. Attacks against four U.S. embassies, including the one that was attacked in Baghdad, were planned and orchestrated by Iran’s Qassem Soleimani, who was planning “a broad, large-scale attack against American facilities, including U.S. embassies, in the Middle East.” Iran has been given plenty of time to build up weapons and expand its proxies, thanks to the Obama Administration’s nuclear deal.

“Omar also expressed outrage over the terrorist chief’s death, calling it an ‘assassination’ of a ‘foreign official.’”

Soleimani was a murderous threat to Americans, and Omar’s defense of him is telling. It is in full alignment with her own character: while she defends jihadist Iran against economic sanctions, she supports economic sanctions (boycotts, divestment and sanctions) against peaceful Israel. Omar also supports CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding case, and referred to the 9/11 jihad attacks as “some people did something.” In her mind, perhaps Soleimani, too, just “did something.”
