. By the end of the day she had submitted her resignation"effective immediately," officials said.
The outrage continued on the House floor, where Del. Mike Pushkin, a Democrat, took aim at the display.according to WVNews ."Not in the country that I love. Not in the state that I love. We all give up our time during this time of year to come up here and serve our constituents because we love this state. Well, I love everybody in the state no matter what they look like, who they pray to, who they love. I'm tired of it. It disgusts me."
Pushkin, who's Jewish, added,"I'm proud to live in a country that somebody can come into this country with absolutely nothing and wind up in the halls of Congress representing the state of Minnesota.""As we began today’s floor session, we had a series of incidents occur in and outside of our Chamber that absolutely do not reflect the character and civility the people of this state demand of their public servants.
In later remarks on the floor, Hanshaw said an unidentified staffer had been injured during the confrontations, but gave no other details."I bluntly struggle with what even to say," he said."We have allowed national level politics to become a cancer on our state . . to invade our chamber in a way that makes me ashamed.

Whoever made and distributed those signs should be charged with terrorism and racism, zero tolerance and go straight to jail. First of all it is fabricated nonsense-nothing valid about it.Secondly, it immediately puts her life in danger which was clearly the point of doing it.
What's so wrong with it telling the truth something Democrats have no idea what that is
REALLY! The most powerful thing in a Democracy is your vote. And the more people that join you, the stronger your vote becomes. VOTE BLUE!!!!
emmick66 No they put an anti terrorist picture up, get it right, Omar has proven what she is by her own tongue, I tend to believe her, she will not assimilate, she hates is real, she want jihadist protected. No story here TheTruth call it what it isMSM
Tales from 'The Enemy Within' by Robert Kennedy.
There should be anti islam displays all across America.
Omar was raised in an African refugee camp and is pure psychopath
She ought to sue the people who put up that sign for libel.
😡😡🤬 I hope who ever made that sign meets a real terrorist one day soon!
MalcolmNance Actually the poster was part of the display of ACTforAmerica in the WV Capitol, on a day sponsored by WVGOP to “celebrate” conservatism. WV Rep Party embraces ACT in a big way.
She is trouble, remove her
The party of Lincoln GOP dissolving because of racist, bully’s, and idiots (realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr SpeakerRyan FoxNews seanhannity ) SAD!
She’s not isis ?
MalcolmNance The entire country would, at the very least, not even notice if WV just disappeared off the map. At most the country would improve... slightly.
And don't you know whoever thought of that awful poster was so proud of themselves. i bet they thought, 'Everyone will just love this.'
Wait a minute, Didn't the GOP differentiate between 'radicalized Muslims' and normal Muslims? They are all the same now when it fits their narrative? President Trump said Islam is a holy religion? Obvious now!
MalcolmNance What do they mean 'alleged?' We have seen the pictures, & the Republican officials even denounced it, while recognizing it was one of theirs.
MalcolmNance Are these people sitting on the committees adults or children? Their behavior is childish & immature. Why? Using posters, and a prop of a Black Female standing to represent no Racism. How ASININE was that behavior?
Man, and I thought Walmart was entertaining!
The Republican Party has run amuck! Connecting the 9/11 poster to Rep Omar is disgusting!
She’s an anti-Semite. She’s indeed proof we’ve forgotten - or her district has been taken over. Muslim is not a race. Dems would do and have done far worse.
Hey RepMarkMeadows this is racism..and its YOUR party. You should understand that it is a natural position for anti-immigrant & minorities policy of your party.
MalcolmNance West By God Virginia....that’s it
This young lady is not a terrorist, the Presidents and Jared Kushner's buddies are the Murders and terrorist! TrumpsTerroristBuddies
glangendorf01 The only problem with that is the Saudis committed the Terror attacks, Trump and Russian traitor Jared Kushner's Buddies! TrumpsBuddies911Attacks
Keep defending this terrorist
And the outcrying of anti-Muslim rhetoric from the GOP was now where! Crickets! Come on GOP just stand up and say you want to scrap the constitution in favor of your own versions of what laws should look like! A democratic union is not in your best interest, is it?
MalcolmNance Tantamount to putting a crosshair on her face. How shameful and disrespectful.
I believe that's the only word the left knows is racism racist that's all they speak of yet turning a blind eye to the racism inside there own party and not calling it out look hypocrites no matter what side u sit on it all needs to stop it is not helping this country
Childish WV Statehouse
MalcolmNance The cowardice, hate and bullying shown by some republicans is childlike, ignorant, intolerant and reflects a ‘fear’ of what they don’t know or understand. It’s pathetic! Instead, hear each other out respectfully, establish a dialogue.
They could have put her very life in danger!! Whoever was responsible should have at the very least been kicked out of the Party!
So a poster showing every school shooting in America and condemning White Christians would be appropriate too? I mean, we can’t have a double standard, right?
MalcolmNance Re: ChelseaClinton, any words of wisdom to n this?
The Virginia Republican Party took a cheap shot. Where was their concern about trump cozying up with murderers like Putin, MBS and Kim. An embarrassing show of selective prejudice and bullying.
MalcolmNance i lived in wv on 9 11. a hand painted sign on rt 219 said Open Season on Sand N-word and Towelheads
I love the way MSNBC reports a story that they say allegedly happened, just so they can bash GOP. That’s why no one believes or watches MSNBC—fake news.
Anything goes with this racist President... impeach now!
It wasn’t anti Muslim. It was anti radical Islam which Omar has become the voice of.
The real Terrorists!
MalcolmNance “Allegedly.” Right.
GOP. the party of hate, ignorance, intolerance and trump. We will never forget.
DeSchedule420 'Allegedly' Why
This is America! Often, distinguishing a difference to gain advantage. Exploiting others to maintain it's superiority. Who is surprised? You shouldn't be!!!
KimTompkins14 Did the Republicans forget that our Great Nation was founded on the principles of religious freedom? Where is our nations tolerance? Compromise is the fabric of democracy. Why all the hate? We all need to celebrate our differences.
MalcolmNance West Virginia is an Alabama wannabe
I have no sympathy for her she entered the county by marrying her brother she spews hate for America from her seat and believes shria overides the constitution. She should go back from where she came
This is Hate and should not be condoned.
The statehouse should go under investigation, clean house and re-elect people with values not biases. Disappointing to see those who are supposed to set an example of excellence setting an example of cowardice and hate timeforchange
W Virginia should succeed fr country and request foreign aid. Cesspool
They are what's wrong with our Country DISGRACEFUL!!
Wonder why NO ONE WRITES that she has❓ ➡️bachelor's degrees in political science and international studies 2011⬅️ and she is exactly where she should be, in Congress helping American Citizens!
MalcolmNance OMG!!!
MalcolmNance This is who we are.
Hey GOP where is a letter condemning such a Racist and Islamophobic propaganda? Are u a political party of wing of AlexJones InfoWars ?
*yawn*- to which I respond 'Jussie Smollet'.
Exactly
MalcolmNance Shameful. I am striking West Virginia off the list of states to visit. My family can do without rampant racism. WVaChamber WestVirginiaIWW WestVirginiaPTA WestVirginiaU WVirginiaSent WestVirginiaAG
MalcolmNance The party of integrity and ethics
She’s a Trojan horse. She’s linked to terrorist groups and she’s going to attempt to destroy America from within.
West Virginia's a sh!thle.
MalcolmNance Allegedly?
911 should never be forgotten. What kind of an idiot wants to hide/forget the most significant attack on American soil.
And he’ll at this point who know if the GOP really made it, the Dems could have made it just to stir the pot. JussieSmolettHoax 🤔🤔🤔
When it quacks like duck.....one might say
Awe if Trump were a Muslim they would have done the same come on, get thicker skin. She wants to wear the hijab then some will critique her just like ppl on the left do to MaGA hats.
That thing is a terrorist and unamerican
This is ridiculous. I cannot believe how rude and openly racist our government and those representing it have been permitted to behave. How dare lawmakers not be equally as outraged. By remaining silent, they say this behavior will be tolerated.
They are just like trump..they loose or start to loose and they bully and do horribly questionable acts...it’s pathetic that they whole party everywhere believes they can act like trump now.... Enough must stop now!!!
Why is he still in office?
It seems the GOP has become just like the Nazis of 1939. You can't dismiss the similarities anymore.
She’s an American, I think the 9/11 attacker’s were from Saudi Arabia...religion is left out on this debate...what was T. Mc Veigh...again?
MalcolmNance Homegrown right-wing domestic terrorism is a serious problem. In 2018, the far right was responsible for every extremist killing in the United States. Not a US Rep who happens 2b of Muslim faith. terrorist terror terrorism_made_in_america
Radicals and communists have infiltrated our congress by design through radical Islamist Hussein and soros!
MalcolmNance Really ...what is wrong with Republicans?
Why is this reported as “alleged”? The anti-Muslim sign was displayed or it wasn’t. What kind of wishy washy journalisms is this, oh, it’s MSNBC. What happened to FREE SPEECH?
EchoesofAngels_ republicans = sociopaths the sooner you all realize this the better 🤷🏽♀️
MalcolmNance They trying to put her life in danger
REPUBLICANSareTERRORISTS
RepEliotEngel SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer IlhanMN Stand up and denounce West Virginia representatives who are likening IlhanMN to 9-11 terrorists NOW. Use the same energy you used to denounce her tweet about $ and Israel.
The Republican party loves tricks, stunts and tough talk
MalcolmNance
American Politics are simply VILE.
MalcolmNance So West Virginians are racists, xenophobes, and generally anti-Muslim? Shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED!
The real colors of America's racism start to show more and more after the stolen presidency by the MoronInChief. America has no right to lecture the world on values, freedom, democracy & equality! Sweep your own shit first! Fucktrump EnoughIsEnough RacistAmerica
Leave it to the DEPLORABLES to show their (not ignorance) but blatant STUPIDITY!!
Not anti Muslim—anti her.
Keep the bomb sniffing dogs handy.
MalcolmNance IlhanMN should sue the republican party and those directly responsible for this poster. I’m sure they can’t even come up with a shred of evidence that Omar is responsible for 9/11 and so they will lose.
Sounds like WVa. That’s why they remain the shlttiest state - uneducated, unemployed, overweight, and outdated. No future for them
Both West Virginia and Omar should get AllahPonDeezNutz
MalcolmNance While Kushner was holding hands w/M Bone Saw. Saudi's were 9/11 attackers.
The enemy within. Its no coincidence that her district was filled with foreign Muslims by Obama or that her district has the most terrorists recruitment arrest. Its just facts , and you should ' Never Forget'
This is reprehensible. Are civil rights in W VA no longer a thing?
MalcolmNance Sickening 🤬
MalcolmNance “Allegedly”? The anti-Muslim display was outside the House of Delegates chamber as part of a “Republicans Take the Rotunda” event.”
Poster was a completely disgusting display of ignorance and intolerance
Scheiss fotze
MalcolmNance I don’t care if she is muslim or not. I do care about her support for the Maduro regimen in Venezuela. She advocates for a communist dictatorship that kills, tortures, and starves its people. Why? I know because I am a venezuelan- american. I hope she loses the reelection.
MalcolmNance Jeez doesnt sound like W Virginia lol
MalcolmNance Disgusting!
it was a possibility from the founding of America we could become majority Muslim. that was the very reason for the 1st Amendment, and the Constitution itself. the 1st Amendment protects Muslims, and the Constitution prevents Sharia Law. what other country has this balance?
How are those coal jobs working out?
MalcolmNance Shameful!!
zakbuddyblair Ranked 1 to 50, Best to Worst state to live in:
MalcolmNance Allegedly, ?
MalcolmNance Disgusting.
Where was Smollet? Out on bail....🤔
Key on ALLEGEDLY. 🙄
zakbuddyblair Hopefully the display was ripped down during the argument.
MalcolmNance 'Allegedly'
This is exactly what GOP wants...another Civil War
Ah West Virginia.. The land of God and Cousin Fu*king.:
It’s a sad day when America’s elected politicians use hate,anti-semitism or Islamophobia to rally their base to stay in power. Our founding fathers didn’t think the home of the free when it pertains to political hate. Republican ignorance & mental illness is rampant in America...
Ignorance is bliss. The terrible terror of 9/11 doesn’t represent Islam in any way or fashion.
Observing these past 2+ years, the GOP has regressed to a high school mentality in their tactics. I could understand if they were 20-somethings, but these are people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and even 70s. Public leaders acting like children. It's embarrassing and shameful.
If this happens in Canada those politicians responsible would be out of a job.
That’s pretty awful!! GOP party of racists!!
Blah Blah Blah , retweet’s of your old fake news . But you will not dare report on what she’s said in the past about America and Christians. 🇺🇸1st
Why didn’t they show this as a poster?
This is blatant racism and harassment on the part of the Republicans. These people need to be called out and exposed as the racists they are. We’ve had enough!!!
Republican Racism.
Racism and xenophobia are alive and well in West Virginia. How sad.
Fake new. 'Allegedly'. It was someone from demorat party
West Virginians should public shame their state GOP. And the Congresswoman ? Should sue.
GOP is DISGUSTING and just short of being a terrorist organization just like the NRA
Ouch. What is her back story. Dig dig dig.
Not OK. What she said a while back was not OK but this is not OK
. WV is a beautiful place, but it is easy to get hunkered down there around only “like” people, talking to hunkered down people, getting all news and opinions from FOX. Trump told them he would bring the past back, and they believe him. Fear of the unknown=distrust. 😢
She was giddy that 9/11 happened and wasn’t shy about it! She doesn’t belong in American government!
This is terrible! They should be reprimanded for their actions!
How can You be a Muslim congressman or woman, when the USA Will Always Support Israel. I can hear the Gnashing of their teeth on this one.
Despicable. The GOP has sunk to a new depth which didn’t think they could sink any lower than they have these last two years.
Partisan Republican racists
So sorry people are so nasty
Where is Joe Manchin when you need him
I switched from Republican to Independant last year couldnt stomach the new Republican party
Did she get punched out because she believed in stopping hate hoaxes? Did she get her hat knocked off like an 80+ yr old man? Did she get outed by the MSM for something that didn't happen and get death threats? Deal with the 'free speech' you all condone. Turn about.
It’s funny that she felt responsible about it.
The GOP is nothing. It's a gas bag full of ignorance, greed, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, cruelty, corruption. The leaders want to tear every good thing down and the voters are too stupid to see that it's killing them.
So your willing to ignore the Terrorist Sympathizing that she has out there just to hate on the Right?
The democratic party is the party of hate and atrack
The GOP is destroying this country.
Last night I was at a movie and one of the lines was “ What word represents America?” And my friend looked at me and instantly said hate. This is why our country is filled with hate. It’s truly disheartening and sad . People need to wake up and start supporting diversity.
The GOP has become a hate organization. To say they knew nothing about it is a lie. It was posted most of the day. ACT for America says they knew nothing about it yet a woman wearing an ACT shirt put it there. The d and the GOP are going to get people killed d/t these actions.
This woman is an embarrassment to our country.
What's anti Muslim about a 911 display and Rep Ilhan Omar? She's on record praising Allah for the attacks......anti terrorist maybe.....
If the shoe fits. She’s an open, disgusting Anti-Semite. But hey, she’s a fresh face. So fresh, so face!
This baby congresswoman needs a sparking or a time out..
Anti muslim? No, we aren’t anti muslim. We do however stand up for the jewish people that she attacks. Because she is a racist. IlhanMN has no place being in congress. America supports israel. Period
I wonder how Omar feels about the 9/11 attacks. Everyone knows how she feels about Israel.
IlhanMN IS a terrorist supporter and there was nothing wrong with that display
Is West Virginia really a State?
The entire Republican Party apparently banned together to hang a poster. Wonder if we’ll ever find out who really hung it. Probably not because the point isn’t to get facts. It’s just to get the idea out to invoke discourse.
It's open season on Trump now!
She’s got to go
Thank you for bringing this forward. This needs national attention. Justice served
Broke-assed West Virginians voting with their racism instead of their heads. No sympathy.
Accurate representation of this multi-offender criminal and traitor in our Government
