Freshman Democrat lawmaker Ilhan Omar (MN) is now basically arguing that she’s more of a patriot than you because she was born on foreign soil.

In other words, American citizens don’t understand how good they have it so people like her need to come to the U.S. to turn things upside down in order for native-born Americans to fully appreciate it.

Something like that.

From Free Beacon:

Omar participated in a foreign policy panel at the liberal Netroots Nation conference in Philadelphia when she made her comment. Omar began her remarks by making light of her past anti-Semitic comments and the backlash that has resulted from them.

“It is that I am anti-American because I criticize the United States,” Omar said. “I believe, as an immigrant, I probably love this country more than anyone that is naturally born and because I am ashamed of it continuing to live in its hypocrisy.” She went on to talk about how people ask her why she can’t be “more like an American,” noting how it “used to be a very positive thing.”
