Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is perhaps best known for her antisemitic rhetoric, radically left-wing policy, and mounting allegations that she committed marriage and immigration fraud.
As I argue in my new book, "American Ingrate: Ilhan Omar and the Progressive-Islamist Takeover of the Democratic Party," the sensational aspects of Omar's story belie the fact that she is not only one of the most prominent symbols of the Democratic Party's ascendant far-left base, but a powerful player in her own right.
Omar's clout was demonstrated most recently when Democratic presidential front-runner Bernie Sanders tabbed her campaign co-chair in the all-important 2020 state of Minnesota.
Omar's symbolic and substantive significance is summarized simply in the reality that a vote for Sanders is a vote for Omar and their shared agenda of socialism at home and submission abroad. Yet she has faced almost zero media scrutiny.
I delivered a list of questions via email first to Omar's chief communications staffer in September 2019, then to her general press account in December 2019, and again in February 2020 following the release of "American Ingrate." Neither Omar nor her office ever responded.
00 attributable to a "Self-employed Candidate" named "Omar, Ilhan S." Per public documents, your full name is Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.
If Omar is who the Democratic front-runner entrusts with Minnesota in 2020, America deserves a response to these questions.
