Ungrateful Omar seeks 'dismantling' of U.S. political and economic system

Monica Showalter  "Mogadishu-born Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has found something new to be ungrateful for:
"The entire U.S. political and economic system, which she now calls upon to be cancelled:
“As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality,” Omar said. “We cannot stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.”
"According to the Daily Caller:
Omar held an event Tuesday in her home state of Minnesota with members of the Minnesota People of Color and Indigenous Caucus. Omar tweeted earlier Tuesday that the purpose of the event was to address “racism in policing” in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.
"So abolishing the police is not enough - although it certainly looks like she's got some rather impressive bodyguard police protection herself - the entire economic and political system of her adopted country has got to go, too in the country that embraced her as a supposedly pitiful Somali refugee who grew up in part in a Kenyan refugeee camp. Instead of look on the United States in awe, as normal immigrants do, she stands in judgment, and the U.S. is just not good enough.
"Nope, tear it down, like they did it back in Mogadishu. She'd the U.S. to engage in some cultural appropriation, a Somalification of the United States in order to achieve perfect equality among nations, or perhaps to feel more at home:" . . .
