Omar Calls For Advertisers To Boycott Tucker Carlson After He Tells Her Immigration Story

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is tearing into Fox News host Tucker Carlson and calling him racist for telling the truth.

“Probably no person in this country has benefited more from American generosity than Ilhan Omar. Instead of being grateful, though, she’s bitter.

“She hates this country. It says a lot about our current immigration system,” Carlson said in describing how the refugee became a representative,” he said.

“In fact the United States is the kindest, most open-minded place on the country. The U.S. Has done more for other people and receive less in return than any nation in history by five.

“Americans like to help. It makes us feel good. Some of our deepest satisfaction as a country comes from watching penniless immigrants arriving on our shores, buy into our values, and thrive.

“Recall the American dream and nothing makes us prouder. It was in that spirit that a 1992, the United States welcomed 10-year-old Ilhan Omar and her family.

“Omar was born in Somalia, one of the world’s poorest countries, then ruled by Marx’s military dictatorship. When she was six, she and her parents and siblings fled a silverware and run up at a refugee camp in Kenya.

“They spent four years until America offered the family asylum here and let them settle in Minneapolis. Omar’s father drove a taxi then got a job at the post office working for the government.

“Omar, meanwhile, grew up free in the world’s richest country with all the bounty that implies. She became a citizen, and went to work for state university.

“A few years later she became a member of Congress, elected by voters who were proud to see an immigrant to succeed.

“Omar is now at the age of only 361 of the most powerful women in America. It’s an amazing story, really. Only in this country could it have happened.

“Ilhan Omar has an awful lot to be grateful for. But she isn’t grateful, not at all. After everything America has done for Omar and for her family, she hates this country more than ever. In a recent piece in ‘The Washington Post,’ the reporter put it this way, ‘In Omar’s version, America isn’t the bighearted country that saved her from a brutal war and oblique refugee camp. It wasn’t a meritocracy that helped her attend college or bolted her into Congress.

“’Instead, it was the country that had failed to live up to its founding ideals, a plane that has disappointed her and so many immigrants, refugees, and minorities like her.’”

“If anything, that is an understatement. Omar isn’t disappointed in America. She’s enraged by it. Virtually every public statement she makes accuses America of bigotry and racism. This is an amoral country, she says.

“She has undisguised contempt for the United States and for its people. That should worry you, and not just because Omar is now a sitting member of Congress. Ilhan Omar is living proof of the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country. A system designed to strengthen America is instead undermining it. Some of the very people we try hardest to help have come to hate us passionately.”

“A system designed to strengthen America is instead undermining it. Some of the very people we try hardest to help have come to hate us passionately.

“Maybe that is our fault for asking too little of our immigrants. We aren’t self-confident enough to make them assimilate so they never feel fully American.

“Or maybe the problem is deeper than that. Maybe we are importing people from places who are simply antithetical to ours. Who knows what the problem is but there is a problem and whatever that because this cannot continue. It’s not sustainable.

“No country can import large numbers of people who hate it and expect to survive. The Romans were the last to try that with predictable results.

“So be grateful for Ilhan Omar, annoying as she is. She’s a living fire alarm, a warning to the rest of us. We better change our immigration system immediately or else,” he said and Omar did not take it kindly.

“Not gonna lie, it’s kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress. No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect. They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman!” she said.

“Fox News is now giving a nightly platform to white supremacist rhetoric. It’s dangerous,” she said. “Advertisers should not be underwriting hate speech.”

A sitting Congresswoman calling truth racist and calling for a boycott of a show. Imagine if President Trump did that.
