Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.

“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”

      Jan 6th was an actual coup attempt, however sloppy, and that Gen. Flynn is the brother of Trump’s Nat Security Advisor. So, yeah, I’m sure there is a lot of shady shit that went down that day, many people still have not met consequences for it. Trump is even running again.

      The Syria thing is new to me. I can’t say I disagree though, I was always upset that we bailed on the Kurds after all the work we did together. Not just aid like with the Mujahideen, but fighting side by side with them. We saved the Yazidis together. That guy is lucky he’s retired though, that’s not acceptable behavior. He would have been punished for it if he wasn’t already out.
