Anti-war protestors are coming after warmongering progressives.
The anti-war coalition came after Rep. Ilhan Omar and called her a “warmonger” during a town hall on Thursday.
Omar responded by calling the anti-war protestors “dangerous propagandists.”
“You were supposed to be a progressive Democrat, ‘anti-war’,” a man in the audience shouted during the town hall.
“Anti-war! Eighty billion to Ukraine is not anti-war.”
“Ukraine is killing its own citizens… in the Donbas,” the protester said.
Omar lashed out at the man, saying the money Congress has allocated to Ukraine will help “little children.”
“We are helping little children, like me, that have been helped. So, unless, unless — listen. Unless you have not been paying attention to what is happening here there are millions of Ukrainians that have been displaced,” Omar said.
“There are piles of bodies that have been found in mass graves.”
Omar then told her constituents that only refugees from war-torn countries can tell her “how I get to vote.”
Thus, the progressive Democrat openly admitted she doesn’t represent the interests of her constituents.
“Unless you are someone like me that has been that child, you do not get to tell me what my votes mean and how I get to vote in supporting people,” the Minnesota congresswoman said.
How do Minnesotans feel about this confession that their elected legislator doesn’t care about the lives of American citizens she’s supposed to represent?

After the town hall, Omar denounced the anti-war protestors as “dangerous propagandists.”
“I am sorry, you all aren’t ‘anti-war protesters,’ you are dangerous propagandists who are literally making a mockery of the anti-war movement,” she lamented on Twitter.
“I have never had the pleasure of responding to [Russia’s] ridiculous internet disinformation in person before. Thank you for the opportunity.”
“I am amazed at the nerve that some people have to not be upset with the country literally waging war, but at the country defending itself and those helping them do that,” Omar complained.

I am amazed at the nerve that some people have to not be upset with the country literally waging war, but at the country defending itself and those helping them do that.
I was even told by one of these people tonight, “it’s America that started the Russia war”, seriously wtf.
