Omar goes silent on condemning al-Qaeda, Antifa

The bottom line here is that it ought to be easy for any congresswoman to condemn any violent terrorist attack, whether by Antifa or al-Qaeda, particularly as a representative of rule of law.  Omar and her squad colleagues can't bring themselves to do it.  Apparently, no terrorist group quite outrages them enough to make them condemn terrorism, even if, incredibly, it would shut President Trump up.

Monica Showalter  . . . "According to the Washington Examiner:
Rep. Ilhan Omar responded with silence to a reporter asking her if she condemned the Saturday attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Tacoma, Washington, by an anti-fascist.
"Will you condemn the antifa attack in Washington over the weekend?" The Rebel reporter Keean Bexte asked Omar as she left a Monday press conference with fellow Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
"It's easy to condemn terrorism. Will you condemn it?" Bexte asked when Omar doesn't respond. "Antifa firebombed a facility in Tacoma over the weekend — it's an ICE facility — will you condemn them for that?"
Omar continued to ignore Bexte as he questioned whether Omar thought it was "laudable" to bomb an ICE facility if they are indeed concentration camps, as some have claimed.
"In what must have been the same day, she also went mute when given a chance to condemn al-Qaeda:" . . .
