Rep. Ilhan Omar held nothing back in her response to the ladies of The View over their criticism of Bernie Sanders’ cadre of misogynistic supporters.
The congresswoman reserved the harshest criticism for co-host Meghan McCain, whom she accused of promoting Islamophobia.
Fox News’ Brie Stimson reports:
The same people who chastise the progressive movement regularly traffic in anti-Muslim smears and hate speech against me and those I represent.
It’s almost as if they don’t genuinely care about online harassment.

After Sanders was criticized at Wednesday’s Democratic debate of not effectively curbing social media harassment by some of his most aggressive supporters, McCain weighed in on Twitter.
…
Omar then tweeted a screenshot of McCain’s tweet plus another in which the TV host retweeted an unsubstantiated claim that Omar had married her own brother.
…
The congresswoman has strenuously denied the claim, which she calls “disgusting lies.”
Omar and McCain have a contentious history.
Last year, McCain said Omar’s rhetoric — that some have called anti-Semitic — needed to be addressed following a deadly shooting at a synagogue in Southern California.
Oh, bless her heart! https://t.co/ynlQEes8d4
