'We are living in a country that has a two-tiered justice system': Rep. Ilhan OmarABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos interviews Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on"This Week"on Tuesday, in one of the most expensive primary campaigns in the state.
Minnesota Democratic congressional candidate Antone Melton-Meaux speaks at a press conference, Aug. 5, 2020 in Minneapolis. Melton-Meaux hopes to unseat incumbent Rep. Ilhan Omar for the nomination in next week's primary race for Minnesota's 5th Congressional District. Trump attacks freshman Democrats including Ocasio-Cortez and Omar at North Carolina rally, leading crowd to chant 'send her back'While her national profile has turned Omar into a progressive firebrand, her opponent has been weaponizing her celebrity status.
Omar is a fraud, stealing from the people, giving the $ to her husband. And also married her brother.
A man who calls ethics a distraction is a man who bends to influence on moral issues. Charlatan. Good luck Ilhan Omar! An ethical candidate.
When speaking to the radical group the Council on Islamic Relations (CAIR), Ilhan Omar said with reference to 9/11 that “Some people did something.” Some people? This was a dismissive way to speak about the horrific attack on 9/11.
Are we all going to just gloss over her antisemitism and that she married her brother to fraudulently enter the US?
The thief will win. She stole plenty already and I and sure took kickbacks.
20% of Melton-Meaux’s total campaign haul comes from pro Israel lobby groups. It’s obvious who this man is working for, and it’s not the American people. I support Ilhan.
Can’t stand this bbbbbbb
Oh Brother 🙄
Please lord, we the American people, pray to you, please get her corrupt, Anti-American ASS out of office!!!
She’s given more than that to her husband’s firm. 🤷♂️
Mussolini called his fascist thugs, the “Squad”. They would beat up anyone who disagreed with Il Duce.
ABC News is a joke. She is a communist.
Ilhan Omar is a communist.
Lose, lose, lose.
Hopefully they pick the one that isn't a shady anti semite
She will win bc she is funded by FatAss Soros ...
Celebrity culture is dead.
Is Minnesota Somali colony ?
Vote her out ASAP
Ilhan is a courageous leader who fights for her constituency, her opponent is a union-busting & sexual harassment defense lawyer funded by republicans
I don't let Israel pick my politicians
Ilhan IIhan will be just fine
The lady's an antisemite, and if that doesn't stop her this time, now that everyone knows her racist proclivities, it says far more about her district than they would admit, but we see her clearly
IlhanOmar
Rooting for the non-extremist in this one.
She stinks, her anti-american sentiment stinks and her past is very questionable. ANYone else would be a better choice.
She was endorsed by ewarren
“Weaponizing?” Give me a break. Some passive aggressive shizz right there. Bottom line is IlhanMN is a disgrace to this country and shouldn’t be anywhere near the levers of power.
I hope she loses and her husband has to find a real job instead of earning from her election donations
How does one do that weaponization?
Firebrand? I think you mean Anti Semite Incest Criminal.
She needs to be removed or she will keep on destroying our country, our system, our constitution.
20% of Melton-Meaux’s total campaign haul comes from pro Israel lobby groups. It’s obvious who this man is working for, and it’s not the American people. I support Ilhan.
That's a hell of a take. I wish I were a democrat. They have some SERIOUS privilege.
Amazing how media will go to any lengths to tear down America to help Democrats. FakeNewsAlert
Protect her criminality at all cost. It’s fine.
Why is ABC using 'weaponizing' as a term for Antone Melton-Meaux? Seems racist.
Rep. Omar's problem is that while she has been a positive force on many issues her campaign spending and personal life seem to be in chaos. Paying 600k to her new husband who runs her re-election campaign is troubling.
Who writes this trash? 'Weaponizing?' Have we moved on from seizing and pouncing?
Felony fraud. Report on that
Weaponizing? Normal people call it campaigning.
Hopefully the POS Omar LOSES!
She'll be fine
Minnesota doesn’t have Shite people ? Why do they only elect Kenyans ?
This 'progressive firebrand' is epitome of corrupt radical Socialist.
PROGRESSIVE?
One could say - he pounced?
Ya live in a bubble
She should be in jail!
“Firebrand” lolololol
Wtf? Weaponizing? Who the frick is writing these headlines
What? This is dumb and confusing
She has committed a string of felonies. Stop protecting her.
She married her brother.
More media coverage for corrupt Democrats... no integrity
Where are the mentions of the ongoing investigations of her fraudulent activities?
abc is trash.
Good. Get her crazy self out of there!
Aggressive and potentially violent black man seeks to unseat... cmon y’all.
Seriously...who comes up with these ridiculous headlines?
You guys are doing great, keep it up!
Failure to expose their bad policies in Durham,NC puts all American at risk, particularly poor POC & Jews. They don’t fit into the intersectional hierarchy.
Get her butt out of the country.
It’s a battle between an Anti American Socialist & a Welfare begging imbecile. Both R bent on destroying the Economy.
It's hard to support someone who hates a country she escaped to and has made it to Congress and still plays the victim. She is pathetic
Just because trump calls you enemy of the people doesn’t mean you have to lean so hard into being that.
her opponent needs to talk about how she married her brother so he could stay in this country
Democrats would think that a Hamas terrorist supporter is a celebrity...
Wow, her opponent has received almost $1mil from pro-Israel super PACs.
Has he weaponized that she married her brother?
Why does abcnews think its job to protect democrat politicians?
She’s a fraud and a criminal.
should be ashamed of yourself making common cause with a known anti Semite to own the cons-I am glad you feel her ideals are mainstream you know because some people did some things 911
State sponsored propaganda
Hope she loses... she's an awful person.
“Democrat primary opponent pounces”
Are you an arm of the DNC?
Good. Representatives should be serving us, not walking around like celebrities
The Dems have weaponized journalism.
Her national profile hasn't turn her into a progressive firebrand. The Democratic Party Press - including - did that.
“Weaponizing” when talking about a black man.... sounds racist to me
Does she just send you guys the talking points to publish?
She’s a terrorist who married her brother 🥓
Can you at least try a little harder to hide you leftist bias? The English language is vast. Surely you can do better.
Victimizing her celebrity status? Like how Omar herself has been weaponizing victimhood? Like that?
So it sounds like ABC is all in for Omar. “Weaponizing”?!? Please.
She’s a terrorist
Good thing Ilhan isn’t trying to gain any advantage from her celebrity status
LOL!! The hateful media at it's lying best!!!!
ABC goes all in for abusing immigration law by marrying your brother to keep the Squad together.
Wut? She married her brother to commit immigration fraud, easy target. Gives her NEW hubbys business a million dollars of campaign money, easy target. NOT A CELEBRITY. 😷
It's been proven through documentary evidence and witness testimony that Omar married her brother and ran a fraud scheme involving tax and welfare and student loans.
99% chance 'weaponizing' replaces 'pounced' in the first draft of this story.
She's not a celebrity , she's a damn civil servant that fakenews has elevated to celebrity status in it's own twisted world. She's a piss poor employee of her constituents that fails to represent her district in a civil manner!
Weaponizing? You mean “campaigning against “ right?
Weaponizing huh? What did you say about Ilhan's disdain for Jews? What did you say about her disdain for the United States? Was she using weapons?
From ABC Pravda.
They are also “weaponizing” the $1 million she paid her husband out of her campaign finances. Such a shame to point out how much Ilhan is a law breaking scumbag.
I thought only republicans pounced, seized, and weaponized?
SHe and her evil needs to go away
Nice non-loaded language there.
Zero bias obviously....
🤔
Hey please stop writing opinion wrapped in a veneer if news. “Weaponizing”?
Those dastardly republicans again
Ah yes, her celebrity is the problem, not her many felonies and funneling donations into her husband's pockets.
'Weaponizing.' If you go against The Squad, the media will treat you like they do conservatives no matter how progressive you are.
AIPAC and the Anti Defamation League are spending a reported $2 million to unseat Representative Ilhan Omar, nullifying the votes of her Minnesota constituents. They are foreign agents meddling in U.S. politics.
MSM Firebrand term = Corrupt Democrat politician
I’m rooting for Meaux. IlhanOmar is too much of a political controversy to keep around with her antisemitism and her socialist views. Let’s hope she leaves politics after this.
I have nothing but love and respect for Ilhan Omar.
Hope Omsr opponet is elected
SQUADUP
Vote NO for ohmar!!!! She’s not good for America
Enemy of the People. Prop up people that truly hate this country and punch down ppl who say otherwise.
She married her brother and defrauded our country. It is insane nobody talks about this.
If the stories (illegally immigrated by marrying her brother, paid $800K of campaign funds to new husband, etc.) are true then she probably shouldn't be reelected.
She resembles .... Yassar Arafat
Dr. Yan Limeng spoke for the first time: The new crown virus is a product of the Chinese Communist People’s Liberation Army Virus Laboratory!
