Ilhan Omar, House Representative for Minnesota’s 5th district, faces hard backlash after new details come to light of Omar sending letters to Minnesota Judge Michael Davis, urging him to give shorter sentences for 9 would-be ISIS recruits.

The nine men face decades in prison after being convicted in 2015 for making plans, buying fake passports and weapons to travel to Syria and fight for ISIS. The Islamic State was considered to be at full-strength at this time, holding territories in Syria, Levant, and Iraq.

“The best deterrent to fanaticism is a system of compassion,” Omar wrote. “We must alter our attitude and approach; if we truly want to effect change, we should refocus our efforts on inclusion.”

Serving as a state representative at the time, it is difficult to determine whether Omar is simply compassionate for her people, or controlled by the Islamic State itself.

This is not the first controversy to embroil the freshman congresswoman, her $250,000 book deal under fire after her repeated slander toward the Covington Catholic School boys. Ms. Omar also frequently spreads a left-wing conspiracy that Senator Lindsey Graham is somehow blackmailed into serving President Trump.

Ihlan, born in Somalia, stands accused of several conspiracy theories herself, including but not limited to a several year-long marriage to her biological brother, the two allegedly married in 2009 and later divorced in 2017. While being legally married to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar publicly identified “Ahmed Hirsi” as her cultural husband, and father of her children.

2019 is off to a great start, the Democrats further Left than ever. Due to no Democratic presidential candidate having a spotless record, it is almost assured the Democratic primary will be a ruthless process, old tweets and letters fair game for public outrage in today’s world. Whom might survive to lead the Left?
