Good. Our politicians need to stop being such pussies and do what she's doing and stand behind it.

Ilhan Omar Cusses Out Right-Wing Reporter Over Question on Wrongfully Deported Man
(www.thedailybeast.com)
Maybe if they didn't ask if 'they would travel to visit a deported ms-13 member' to pull the usual thing of presuming something a fact. It's like someone who asks 'when did you stop beating your wife?', there's no answer that doesn't imply the accusations is true.
Did she know he was a right-wing reporter? I don't feel like there's anything too inflammatory in the question, I think the Democrat trips to El Salvador have done a great job exposing the conditions Americans are being kept in, so I don't really understand why she was so quick to immediately shut him down?
Reporters tend to work certain beats and often wear credentials. It wouldn't surprise me if she recognized him. Additionally, the staff from these far-right rags tend to make themselves "memorable."
“Reminder: Democrats say Donald Trump has lowered the tone of political rhetoric,” conservative pundit Piers Morgan said.
Hmmm. I wonder if those things are related.
