Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar said Sunday it’s hard walking the line between “extreme aggression” in confronting injustice and avoiding burning down cities as people protest the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis

.

But the congresswoman also attributed much of the destruction to people “not interested in protecting black lives.” Setting fires risks the community that people claim to be standing for, Omar said, adding: “There are people who exploited the pain that communities are feeling and ignite violence.“ More than two dozen cities enacted curfews. The National Guard has been summoned in at least 12 states and the District of Columbia.

President Donald Trump has been blaming far-left radicals and Antifa for any of the violence that has come out of the protest. Some officials have said there have been far-right instigators as well.

You have proven you cant do your job you never have and never did you have a IQ that matches a grade school child

Wow, that would not be hard the walking that line for most people, so I guess like beating up the elderly is acceptable but don’t burning down the business is 50/50.

Stealing her lines from an AA meeting.

you know how repubs like 'insurance'

Maybe they are sick and tire of a leader who thinks there is a fine line in 'extreme aggression'...lets see... Non aggressive --------------------------- Aggressive --------------------------- Moderately aggressive ‐--------------------------- Very aggressive Not there yet

MLk had a legislative agenda. We have many black and brown leaders they need to work together to create a new legislative agenda.

Straight out of Somalia

Democrat cities are burning

White people show up at state capitals with guns to force states to open up and are tolerated. Black people show up with signs and their voices and are shot. TrumpRiots2020

You're terrible

$&2$

Oh, all those who looted will really be happy under a socialist regime. Fools.

Omar is an embarrassment to Minnesotans

Agent Omar is a card carrying member of Antifa as well as ISIS. I always wondered who voted for her and how she got elected. I guess I know now.

Ilhan We're sick and tired of not seeing you prosecuted for the immigration fraud you perpetrated.

Bet this reminds you of home sweet home

Yes people are sick & tried of being sick and tired.

Somalia comes to America.

Vote that idiot out of office

Historically, she's not wrong. French Revolution 1789: Hej, lets reform, keep the government, share some power, make the rich pay their fair share. French Rev 1791: Fork it......

They’re burning democrat ran and voting cities , I say encourage them to do it more! Lol I know I’m grinning the whole time watching it happen! I love seeing it happen! They deserve it! I hope they’re back at it again tonight and every night like the roaches they are! 😘

What?!?

This 'person' has always demonstrated her anti American views in her rhetoric. Is there a need for change, most definitely yes. The question is, how do we go about it. Lawfully, as an organized society does. Or through anarchy, as she appears to postulate.

Weaving unimaginable schemes to remain in power and many of us have caught the bait racism. Trump and his party knew the type of upheaval and destruction it would bring. Demand this impeached president resigns so we can resume our lives productively..

Why not burning down cities IlhanMN ? Nothing wrong with that... In Somalia it's OK... It's just 'some people doing something' !!!

Folks, Sadly This Is Where We Are In 2020 During A Pandemic. The Republican Party Has Been Transformed Into The ENEMY Of The Republic. There’s No Deny It Any Longer For The Survival Of The Country We Must CRUSH EVERY REPUBLICAN EVERYWHERE IN NOVEMBER. 🤷🏽‍♂️ BlueWave2020 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Well done. Encouraging Minnesota to become Somalia. Torn down and run by gangs.

If only there were people who could be elected to create laws 🤷🏻‍♂️

She’s steals a saying about personal responsibility oh the irony

Sure, but when it comes to Venezuela, she says popular uprisings are CIA backed. Double standard.

All Over Again! IlhanOmar GeorgeFloyd

What a gal.

The symptoms of the disease is still here . Rouge cop has fraternities across America . Let’s be real

Start a petition to have everyone sign so your elected officials know exactly what needs to change. Hold them accountable. Start that dialog. The people you elected in to office need to be working FOR their citizens, or they can be voted out.

The Saudi plant said what?

Samolian Culture enrichment of Minnesota. Thankyou IlhanMN Beautiful riots. Good job

From Russian collusion to Ukraine to the virus now the riots ! EvilDemocRATS

Thanks genius tell something we didn’t know

Yes it incredibly hard to avoid burning down cities in places she lives.

Put down the rioters.

Does she represent terrorists?

It’s that kind of thinking that has her native land in constant turmoil.

she spoke?

Incredible is like a plague . This woman dont represent the interest of America

Hard for who? You? I don't understand why you cannot arrest looters and support protests at the same time? Do you imply that they're actually same people? What a crazy society.

In Iran or any other islamic country an occidental can not be a congressman why we permit this radical muslim to form part of our congress ? Wake up America Dont be stupid otherwise our civilization and great country will disappear

It s her. Agenda

She got what she wanted

Lol “it’s hard”

How the arrest of CNN's Omar Jimenez during George Floyd protests united press rivalsFox News and MSNBC expressed dismay over treatment of CNN's Omar Jimenez, who was handcuffed on live TV during protest coverage. It was hard seeing the moment they took him away. I for one wondered if he would be okay. It was the first time I feared for someone's safety while being arrested due to the arresting officers being questionable. The looks on his coworkers faces said it all.This was very scary. It was very scary to watch. I keep looking to find the reason- and not the fake crap that they wouldn’t back up.

George Floyd's Girlfriend Pleads for Peace at Protests, Says Destruction Would 'Devastate' HimGeorge Floyd's girlfriend said, 'Waking up this morning to see Minneapolis on fire would be something that would devastate' him Globalists are responsible for these riots thru decades of decay and corruption, yet their hands remain remarkably clean! The ppl fail to recognize them as the accomplices that they are, as they burn their cities (and their own neighborhoods) to the ground. The problem is everyone felt the pain and this must be the last time! the subjects who go out to the streets to vandalize and loot shops are not protesters, they are thieves and criminals who hide and take advantage of this unfortunate situation.

Minnesota governor urges end to protest destruction that has shut down libraries, businesses and light railGovernor Tim Walz said officials can't address the institutional racism that led to George Floyd's death until order is restored to the streets. Justice? Reform. Now. Enough calling for justice and reform the entire police system Publicly hang the officer that killed Floyd and it’s over. Interesting they are starting to use political affiliation and who'srunningthe cities, but violating citizens rights & racism. Most ppl r peacefully protesting, but there's provocateurs, saboteurs, or those sinister grps who r causing most, if not all of the damage to property.
