Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar has a history of roundly criticizing American foreign policy, despite our military’s reputation as the greatest force for good in the world.
Omar took to Twitter yesterday to parrot Iran’s version of events leading up to and preceding the attack on a U.S. Navy RQ-4A Global Hawk drone.
Instead of listening to U.S. Central Command, leaders in both parties, or foreign dignitaries in the region like Saudi Arabia’s defense minister, Omar appears to believe what Iranian state television is reporting.
The Daily Wire reports:
“To carry out such wars, American leaders have contrived pretexts to justify American aggression. That’s what Donald Trump’s administration—and especially its national security adviser, John Bolton—is doing now with Iran.”

Omar then falsely suggested that the U.S. was the “aggressor” in the situation with Iran, completely ignoring Iran’s multiple attacks on oil tankers in the region in recent weeks and Iran’s decision to shoot down a military drone this week.
Just as in Iraq, aggressors are using illegitimate pretexts to beat the drums of war.
Just as in Iraq, our media is taking these claims at face value.
Just as in Iraq, children will die, American lives will be lost, and the world will be less safe. #NoWarWithIran

Mr. President,
As a survivor of war, I want to tell you: going to war does not make you strong. It makes you weak.
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) June 21, 2019
So I urge you: be strong. Do not listen to the warmongers and war profiteers whispering in your ear.
Do not send our men and women into harm’s way.
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) June 21, 2019
And I urge the American people to make your voice heard. Organize. Call your member of Congress.
Let all our leaders know that a war with Iran would be a catastrophe. #NoWarOnIran

Omar has a documented history of being sympathetic to Islamic terrorists. Here are just a few examples:
