Ilhan Omar Calls Americans ‘Idiots,’ Berates Their ‘Stupidity’ For Electing Trump, Republicans (Video)

'People are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things'

A Democrat member of Congress has blasted Americans, perhaps even the ones who voted for her, for being lost in “stupidity” and for being really, just “idiots.”

“I am at the point where it has become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day is frankly, embarrassing,” said Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. “Not just in Congress, but as Americans.

“And the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things tells you that the dumbing of the United States has arrived, because how else do we get a Trump presidency again?”

She, in fact, long has promoted her allegiance to her home, Somalia, and has been involved in a long list of scandals during her time in Congress.

Real Clear Politics documented the full exchange:

MEHDI HASAN, ZETEO: You and I have discussed people attacking you in the past, but you have this new freshman Congressional Representative, this lawmaker Brandon Gill, Republican who tweeted out that video of you and wrote America would be a better place if Ilhan Omar were deported back to Somalia. I mean I thought I’d seen everything, and I’ve seen a lot of attacks on you. But now you have a Republican colleague, dare I say, in the House saying to deport an American citizen, an American lawmaker, and an elected representative. How do you deal with that?”

“REP. ILHAN OMAR: These people are just idiots — I really am at the point where it has become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day is frankly, embarrassing. Not just in Congress but as Americans, and the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things tells you that the dumbing of the United States has arrived, because how else do we get a Trump presidency again?”

She also, in suggesting that people not be allowed to say even “stupid” things, hearkened back to the failed censorship agenda of the Joe Biden administration, when millions of taxpayer dollars were spent to silence Americans when Democrats considered their comments “misinformation” and such.
