My Mom, Snooks West, always told me people will know you by the company you keep.
Hypothetically indulge me for a moment. What if Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) went to speak to a group with an unquestionable history of racism after his “white supremacists” remark? Uh huh, well why does Rep. Ilhan Omar, a person who has a history of making Islamist and anti-Semitic statements get a pass?
From the Conservative Review:
“Newly elected Rep. Ilhan Omar will jet off to Los Angeles next month to keynote a fundraiser for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a terror-tied organization that was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist financing case in U.S. history.
On March 23, Omar will speak at CAIR-Los Angeles’ 4th Annual Valley Banquet, where tables will cost $500.
“CAIR-LA is honored to have Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as the featured speaker for the 4th Annual Valley Banquet,” reads a press release from the Los Angeles chapter of the group that was formed as a Hamas support network in the United States.
She will deliver her address alongside CAIR-Florida director Hassan Shibly, according to a CAIR flier promoting the event. Shibly is a dedicated Islamist and bigoted gay basher. A fan of radical clerics, he has routinely refused to categorize U.S.-designated terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations, according to the Clarion Project. Moreover, Shibly regularly takes to social media to demonize the U.S. military as equivalent to the jihadi terrorists that they are fighting.”
We all know CAIRs history, and their ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood — both Islamic terrorist organizations. A fundraising dinner for $500 a plate? Oh, the hypocrisy!
Now, Speaker Pelosi, puh-leeze ‘splain to me how Rep. Omar is still on the House Foreign Affairs Committee?
