Rep. Ilhan Omar responded with silence to a reporter asking her if she condemned the Saturday attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Tacoma, Washington, by an anti-fascist.
"Will you condemn the antifa attack in Washington over the weekend?" The Rebel reporter Keean Bexte asked Omar as she left a Monday press conference with fellow Democratic Reps.
"It's easy to condemn terrorism. Will you condemn it?" Bexte asked when Omar doesn't respond.
Omar continued to ignore Bexte as he questioned whether Omar thought it was "Laudable" to bomb an ICE facility if they are indeed concentration camps, as some have claimed.
In response to President Trump's accusation that she has sympathy for al Qaeda, Omar said Monday, "I do not expect every time there is a white supremacist who attacks or there is a white man who kills in a school or in a movie theater or in a mosque or in a synagogue, I don't expect my white community members to respond on whether they love that person or not. And so I think it is beyond time, it's beyond time to ask Muslims to condemn terrorists."
The bottom line here is that it ought to be easy for any congresswoman to condemn any violent terrorist attack, whether by antifa or al Qaida, particularly as a representative of rule of law.
For someone as loquacious as Rep. Ilhan Omar, she's got a funny way of going silent whenever anyone asks her about terrorist groups, and not just Islamic ones.
