Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar has now announced that she does not in the least retreat her previous comments which compared both Israel and the US to violent Islamist terrorist groups like Hamas.

As The Daily Wire reports:

Omar appeared Tuesday on CNN and told host Jake Tapper that she doesn’t regret her June 7 comments, and asserted that her comments should be viewed in context of the “point” she was “trying to make.”

Tapper stated: “Ultimately, Democratic leaders said that equating the U.S. and Israel with Hamas and the Taliban ‘foments prejudice,’ and, as you know, a group of Jewish House Democrats wrote a letter to President [Joe] Biden saying that accusing Israel of acts of terror—as you and other members of the squad have done – is anti-semitic. Do you regret these comments?”

“I don’t,” Omar replied. She then cited cases sitting in front of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC is investigating both the U.S. and Israel for allegedly committing war crimes in Afghanistan and the Gaza Strip, respectively.

“I think it’s really important to think back to the point that I was trying to make. Obviously, I was addressing Secretary of State [Antony] Blinken. The cases are put together in front of the ICC. The ICC has been investigating,” Omar said. “I know that, you know, some of my colleagues don’t lend legitimacy to the ICC but I tend to think that people around the world who have experienced injustice need to be able to have a place where they can go, and as a country that helped found the ICC and supported it, I think that it is really important for us to continue to find ways in which people can find justice around the world.”

In spite of Omar’s decision to double down on her unhinged and odious comments, she has yet to face any consequences from House Democrat leadership.

          1. She is a monster, racist and actually should be coutr martialed for high treason

  1. The U.S. should cut all ties to Israel and the rest of the Middle East. We’re constantly dealing with contentious issues arising from that region, solely because we’re ‘hooked’ on their resources. It’s not worth the costs of conflicts and the erosion of our national sovereignty to continue our dependence on foreign oil. The U.S. has sufficient known oil reserves to supply our domestic energy needs, and there are existing technologies capable of developing non-fossil fuel energy sources. Let this dimwit keep the Middle East stirred up with her tired harangue, and make our nation sovereign.

      1. What world events? Let’s worry about our own ‘events’, like how our election was stolen, America’s exploding homeless population, our burgeoning crime rates and porous borders. The Middle East can take care of itself. We should no longer be involved with that region.

      1. What’s “Stupid” is our dependence on foreign oil, in conjunction with our involvement (Nay, entanglement) with issues in that region. It’s time to forge U.S. Sovereignty, and quit acting like an Empire.

    1. I see you’re here spouting your ignorance once again. Why? Did mommy kick you out of her basement again or was it Biden?

      1. It’s not “Ignorant” to espouse our national sovereignty, and cease involving our nation in that region. Let’s worry about our own borders, homelessness, crime and drug addictions.

  2. Illan Omar is a total disgrace to the U. S. Congress and if she feels that strongly that the United States and Israel are indeed Terrorist Groups equivalent to ISIS and the Taliban perhaps she should return to her beloved home country of Somalia and see what actual terrorist’s actions are that have been against innocent civilians. Both the United States and Israel are reacting to terrorist actions taken against their countries by Al Qaeda and Taliban against the United States and HAMAS and Hezbollah taken against Israel. As far as the International Criminal Court (ICC) is concerned, the actions taken by both the U.S. and Israel do not constitute any crimes against humanity, which are within their jurisdiction. She desperately needs to be reprimanded for her comments which are anti-U.S. and anti sematic.

    1. Omar is embraced and in my opinion actually emboldened by her Democratic Party. Until the Democratic Party is nothing but a footnote in our Political History the spirit of America will continue to be attacked and degraded.

    2. She definitely is not suited to a congressional seat. At the very least, our leaders should be devoting their time to conduct official functions, and not go around stirring up the gentry with these provocative proclamations.

  3. She is right about one thing, and it’s the only thing she is right about, and that is “ I DON’T LEND LEGITIMACY TO THE ICC! “ They don’t judge us, our court is the SCOTUS, and they don’t do a very good job themselves, but as far as IIan Omar is concerned she is nothing but poison to our country, and she knows it. After all the laws she has broken, money to her boyfriend, married to her brother to get him in the country, tax evasion, ect. that’s just a few of the laws she has broke, and has anything been done to her? Like any investigations, ABSOLUTELY NOT, and probably won’t be, that’s how our double judicial system works. I hope I live long enough to see real justice in this country.

  4. CENSOUR THIS TRAITOR TO THE ” UNION OF THIS REPUBLIC ” AND REMOVER HER TRAITOR MOLDY BUTT OUT OF CONGRESS AND BACK TO SAMOLIA WHERE SHE HATCHED FROM!

  5. Of course she refuses to apologize…..she’s allowed to say and do anything she wishes….nobody holds her accountable……Piglosi won’t even respond when she is asked to comment on it….who would have ever thought after 9/11 that some Muslim would be given free rein like this in our country….has everyone forgotten….I haven’t …and never will….

  6. The morons that populate some states, alas! will elect ANYTHING to Congress. This nation has been systematically dumbed down by Progressivists beginning with Woodrow Wilson and further brainwashed by the Demoncrats, culminating in the Abomination of Obamanation. Joe Blow the demented do-nothing nincompoop is merely the icing on the putrid cake.

  7. Funny she says things like that and it gets NO media coverage. Yet if anyone says anything about thug pukes in our country that’s all they talk about. Our country will be 3rd world before Biden’s term is up!

  8. Why is it ok for dems and leftist to say what ever they want an nothing happens but is rep or conserv say the same things its racist

    1. Racist should be removed from the Dictionary, it’s meaning and proper usage in our vocabulary has been corrupted. My response today to anyone who may call me a racist would be, hmm he/she doesn’t like or agree with my views, that’s ok, I most likely feel or will feel the same about you.

  9. Treason is punishable with a death sentence. This Somali ho should be arrested and given that sentence to be carried out immediately.

  10. Democrats have Seeded this sort of Crap all across our Country for the sole purpose of destroying this country!

  11. That woman continues to have more stupid bat shit coming out of her mouth than a raging freight train. Please tape it shut and put her in a baddest room.
