She’s probably right.
As you’ll see in the link, it was reported by the Washington Post, and as most of us are aware (aside from the NZH editorial staff who republish them daily) they’re likewise one of the most incredibly unreliable and biased newspapers anywhere, so she has a strong valid point.
Haha! The herald is terrible
It’s been interesting chatting to her about the refugee thing. She’s from Tijuana and was a journalist there for around 10 years.
It does sound like public opinion is changing. Friends of hers who previously supported the refugees unconditionally are changing their tune. Watching the disagreements on Facebook has been kinda entertaining.

There’s so many similarities between their tactics and Golly Gs. Also they all display unhealthy levels of narcissism even by the standards of your average politician .
I’m sure the justice Democrats apparently appalling candidates for safe seats in the 2020 election.
CNN political analyst (and one of their very few fair-minded reporters) Jake Tapper @jaketapper just posted an amazing twitter thread which I strongly encourage you to read the whole thing. He claims he talked to un-named Democratic House members candidly “off the record” and they are not happy with The (Suicide) Squad.
Here’s a taste:
2/ "The president won this one," said House Dem 1 of the Trump v Squad (AOC, Tlaib, Omar & Pressley) showdown. "What the president has done is politically brilliant. Pelosi was trying to marginalize these folks and the president has now identified the entire party with them."

She won’t win but it’d be interesting to see how she goes considering how many points she has in the oppression olympics

Plenty of Trump supporters in the media were going ape at him for his tweets. I think one likened it to him running naked onto the battlefield. But no-one can now deny it's worked brilliantly. Pelosi and the party were distancing themselves from these maniacs and presenting a saner and more adult face, but now they have to defend and protect them. Is this just dumb luck for Trump or does he meticulously plan this shit?

Trump has been manipulating the media and making them dance to his song since the early 1980s, and for just as long experts have been insisting that his 15 minutes will soon be over. That he’s kept it going for over 40 years can’t all be accidental. He clearly knows a thing or two about catnip for the media.

Jake Tapper interviewed Richard Spencer last night hoping to get him to endorse Trump. Instead he said Trump had given white nationalists nothing .
Awkward.

That clown debated Sargon like 2 years ago and said exactly the same thing. Tapper and the rest of the media would have known that if they actually did any research.
Spencer is an example of a guy who should be interviewed more to show the world what a non-entity he is. He sounds like Veruca Salt when he talks about his ethnostate "I want an ethnostate now daddy". It's absurd, pie into the sky nonsense. But the way the media hyperventilate about the guy, you'd think he was some kind of evil genius at the helm of a giant white supremicist army that is a legitimate threat to society.

Yeah he’s living proof that white supremicists are usually the least supreme whites . He’s a convenient boogeyman for Carlos Maza types trying to whip up a moral panic about the far right .

When I saw a picture of Ilhan Omar’s husband/brother I thought it was a poorly done fake . Basically her with some facial hair , apparently not .
I’m surprised she hasn’t tried to make some link between Trump and his birther conspiracy theories as a deflection. Probably saving that for when she has no choice to address it .If she did marry her brother to get him citizenship and then commit tax fraud is that enough to get jail time?

..and if it’s correct, that nutter Laura Loomer deserves credit for digging up the details
Hahahaha . I'd imagine if it is true thats probably the last thing that would happen .
Her local paper the Star tribune has run a story about it, thats the first mainstream news outlet to address it . Others won't be able to ignore it forever I hope.
A simple 23 and me test would make this story go away, that worked out well for Elizabeth Warren didn't it?

Paul Joseph Watson is like a pig in shit over Omar . There is a point you don’t see made very often though , it’s all very well for someone in the west to virtue signal about the staggering odds against you being killed by a terrorist but this kind of shit happens every day . The press barely even covers it, I don’t recall seeing anything about that Canadian journo being murdered
