Ilhan Omar made her first public appearance since her infamous State of the Union outburst...and it was a total DISASTER.
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer gave her THREE chances to apologize for her barbaric behavior last night…she REFUSED every single one.
BLITZER: “The House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, advised your caucus, the Democratic members, to either skip the State of the Union address or sit there in silence.”
“Should you have just boycotted the address? And do you think you violated the guidelines set out by your own leader?”
OMAR: “No, I think it was really unavoidable the president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents.”
Blitzer tried a different angle.
BLITZER: “Many members of your Democratic Party criticized their Republican counterparts when they interrupted president Biden’s State of the Union address.”
“Do you have any regrets at all about the interaction we played between you and President Trump just last night?”
OMAR: “I do not, and I think many people look at that moment when the president says it is our responsibility to protect Americans and he does not acknowledge the fact that two Americans two of my constituents, two of our neighbors were were killed.”
Blitzer tried one final time.
BLITZER: “With hindsight, Congresswoman, do you think you would have been better off boycotting the speech like so many other democratic lawmakers did, or did you do the right thing by actually showing up there?”
OMAR: “I brought for Minnesotans up as guests for the Minnesota delegation. It was important for us to be there, to bear witness, to hold space for our constituents that have lived through an occupation from federal law enforcement, that have been terrorized, that have seen our neighbors been killed and and traumatized in so many ways…”
“And so, no, I think it was really important for my constituents to see me there. It was really important to my constituents to hear that I was reminding the president that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed under this administration.”
