Rep. Ilhan Omar Defends 'Mama Bear' Rep. Rashida Tlaib And It Does NOT Go Well In The Replies

In what is presumably a response to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar took to X to post her support for Tlaib:

We lovingly call @RashidaTlaib Mama Bear, because she is loving and protective. She shows humanity to colleagues who constantly dehumanize her and those who share our faith. She loves the people she represents regardless of who they are.

I am my sister’s keeper and I will walk…

Here's the full text of the post:

We lovingly call @RashidaTlaib Mama Bear, because she is loving and protective. She shows humanity to colleagues who constantly dehumanize her and those who share our faith. She loves the people she represents regardless of who they are. 

I am my sister’s keeper and I will walk through fire for her. I admire her leadership and conviction. People can harass or try to censure her, but she will never be forced into submission. None of us will.

Omar must have a very, very different idea of what 'loving and protective' means, because from where we're standing, fanning the flames of international tension doesn't seem particularly loving or protective to us.

Seems a lot of other folks felt that way too:

"She loves* the people she represents regardless of who they are."

*Jews not included

“Loving and protective”?

Does this apply to Jews as well?

“She shows humanity to colleagues who constantly dehumanize her and those who share our faith.”

Ok, good. Does she show humanity to people who are of other faiths too? I think that’s the main concern.

Yep, that's a pretty big concern.

You both hate Israel. We get it.

They've both made it crystal clear.

Wanna know what I call her?

Well, we kind of do but we also kind of don't.

No one in Congress is above censure should the situation warrant.

Bingo.
