At a rally on the steps of the Capitol, Omar became emotional describing how Angela Davis influenced her.
Who is Angela Davis, you might ask?
Davis is a Soviet sympathizer and notorious anti-Semite who supplied weapons to members of the Black Panther Party so they could kidnap and execute a California judge – before being killed in a shootout with police.
Davis fled the United States to evade justice, earning her a spot on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list.
She avoided conviction by claiming she had no idea her associates were planning a terrorist act, despite their radical affiliation and requesting guns.
