After Rand Paul Hurt Her Feelings, Ilhan Omar Started Hurling Violent Threats Against Him
Rep. Ilhan Omar got her feelings hurt recently by Rand Paul.
And Omar responded with a thinly veiled threat to bash his brains in.
What else would you expect? She does have a violent history after all.
For the record, here’s what Paul said:
.@RandPaul on @IlhanMN: "I’m willing to contribute to buy her a ticket to visit #Somalia... she can look and maybe learn a little bit about the disaster that is Somalia." “After she’s visited Somalia she might come back and appreciate America more.” breitbart.com/politics/2019/…

And how did Rep. Omar respond?
From Twitchy:
Ilhan Omar has a problem with Rand Paul. But her animosity evidently goes beyond just not liking what he says about her — it extends to rejoicing in his being assaulted.
Yesterday, Omar’s buddy and Al Jazeera English host Mehdi Hasan went to bat for her after Paul criticized her frequent disparaging remarks about America:
1) Paul claims Omar called America a ‘terrible country’. She never said it. A lie.
2) Paul hails America’s refugee record, ignoring the Muslim ban.
2) Omar has visited Somalia more than Paul has - & knows far more about it.
3) Paul’s dad published a white nationalist news letter twitter.com/saracarterdc/s…

Tom Arnold decided to weigh in as well with a characteristically thoughtful response:
Imagine being Rand Paul's next door neighbor and having to deal with @RandPaul lying cowardly circular whiney bullcrap about lawn clippings. No wonder he ripped his toupee off.

Well, Ilhan Omar apparently thought that tweet was just what the doctor ordered, because she amplified it on her personal Twitter account:

The Daily Caller adds:
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar retweeted a suggestion Monday that Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul deserved to be violently assaulted by his next door neighbor. …
Paul was tackled from behind by his next door neighbor, 59-year-old Rene Boucher, while mowing his lawn in November 2017. Paul suffered 6 broken ribs and a pleural effusion during the attack and had to take time away from Congress.
Boucher pleaded guilty to a felony assault charge and was sentenced to 30 days in prison, and Paul was given $580,000 in damages.
Several left-wing commentators and politicians mocked Paul after the attack, asserting that he either deserved to be seriously injured or that the assault proves that he is weak.
Omar has previously complained that she has received more death threats since President Donald Trump criticized the freshman Democratic “squad,” and accused Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw of inciting violence against her by criticizing her comments about America. …
Yea, just imagine if President Trump or some other prominent conservative retweeted someone encouraging violent action against Rep. Omar.
How do you think the mainstream media would handle THAT one?
You’d never hear the end of it, of course.
But since it’s Omar threatening Paul? Well, crickets.
Why are you retweeting something like this?

Thanks for proving the point that you all condone violence when it comes to dealing with conservatives.

Rep. Omar just RT’ed Tom Arnold mocking Rand Paul for being assaulted.
That seems...weird. Especially since she claims any criticism of her encourages violence. But actual violence is funny, I guess.

So Congresswoman Omar is now retweeting those cheering on assaults against other members of Congress. Remember that simply citing her words is incitement, but this is apparently just fine?
Any firefighters on the scene?

Just imagine the media freakout if someone had assaulted Omar or another well-known Democrat and Trump retweeted something justifying the attack....
(and they would be right! but this double standard is why people tune them out even when their criticism of Trump is legitimate)
