IlhanOmar thinks Americans are laughable for their fear of AlQaeda while simultaneously comparing terrorists to our U.S Military. Great job SpeakerPelosi putting her on a Foreign Affairs Committee. 🤦🏻♀️
Wow, right on top of things I see.
Just terrible. Likely sponsored by Global DS to clog the media lines due to Mueller report. We knew to expect these false flag events. It also drives a wedge between Christians & Muslims. Expect more, especially when the IG report breaks. US & UK DS are going down with DNC 🇺🇸
What kind of terrorist groups?
They're muslims. Call them what they are.
Gotta love when people believing in a particular fairy tale, gives them the justification to kill. Religion is so great!
All these terrorists have one thinking in common ! One realization ! They all commit acts terriny with all having the same outcome ! Nothing, taking innocent lives can someone tell them life will always continue to go on.
Yap
Radical Islamist did this attack.
Sri Lanka torn our heart out.
Why don't they say Muslim terrorists groups.
This terrorists attack would have been happening in this USA if that Hillary won, because she will give free visa to all these terrorists
Why Sri Lanka? I thought that the White House is the most dangerous
Wait for Ilham Omar to tell you that president Trump is racist because of this news, then CNN and democrats will support her

Sri Lanka Easter Bombings Kill at Least 290; Several Americans DeadA series of blasts tore through churches and international hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter morning, killing at least 290 people and wounding more than 400 in what appeared to be a coordinated series of attacks on tourists and the minority Christian community. Where is the global outrage following the murder of 290 Christians by Islamic fanatics? From the act of terrorism done by Islamic terrorists. And the vast majority of the victims are Christians. You can say it, I know you can because you want to be a hundred percent truthful with all the facts don’t you WSJ? That's a lot. On Easter huh..
