Ilhan Omar, the Wagnerian Phenomenon

How do you explain the ingratitude of Ilhan Omar and thousands like her who hate not the culture that threw them into the misery of a refugee camp, but the culture that rescued them?

I have thought of Ilhan Omar as I have thought of Richard Wagner.

Ilhan Omar needed the sustenance of America.

Ilhan Omar, rescued from the misery of a childhood that might have been without hope to become a member of the most powerful legislative body on the planet, feels betrayed by her rescuers.

Like Wagner, Omar has shown a particular animus toward Jews, questioning their loyalty and resurrecting empty tropes about their control of the corridors of power she so confidently walks.

Would Omar have become so successful had she been rescued by a Muslim country? We will never know, because Muslim countries did not take in Somali Muslims for fear of the impact on their culture and stability.

Ilhan Omar could have been a role model for her community.
