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.”
Well, given they’re (apparently) unwilling to give up sending weapons to Israel in order to defend this constitutional federated republic I’m gonna go with “no”.
I’m disappointed but not surprised. American munitions is one of our few industries in great demand worldwide, and lobbyists from arms companies are extremely numerous in DC.
I’m not surprised either, but I won’t be supporting it.
