Ilhan Omar attacks Trump’s conciliatory gesture to Iran, calls sanctions ‘economic warfare’

January 9, 2020

Ilhan Omar is so angry, her do-rag is smoking. Her tantrum du jour over President Trump’s planned increase in economic sanctions on Iran in response to its launching missiles at US military bases in Iraq.

While extending the olive branch, President Trump has announced yet another round of economic sanctions against the world’s foremost state sponsor of terror.

I have a question. Exactly how many rounds of economic sanctions are there? This is like Round 457. How many sanctions can be left and why didn’t we go all-in on sanctions a long time ago?

“This makes no sense,” says Omar. “Sanctions are economic warfare.”

Duh!

Omar despises economic sanctions unless they are against Israel.

By the way, I view President Trump’s conciliatory offer for peace with Iran nothing short of brilliant. If Iran accepts peace and becomes a good little country (which will never happen), President Trump becomes a hero. If Iran turns its back on the offer (which you know they will do), the president’s response will be justified. Win-win!

"No clear goal?" Are you stupid? (don't bother answering that) The clear goal is for Iran to give up terrorism and nukes. We all know they aren't going to do that, but at least President Trump gave them a chance. Now they have no one to blame but themselves for what's coming.

That's what they don't get. They try to point out every bit of corruption in Trump… and it makes them look so hypocritical because their own corruption is plastered across the internet and media outlets for everyone to see so plainly. Why not look in the mirror, Omar?
