More evidence that Ilhan Omar is a toxic presence in the US Congress:
Rep. Ilhan Omar says US 'kind of helped lead the devastation' in Venezuela
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, suggested Wednesday the United States could be partly to blame for the ongoing turmoil in Venezuela, saying the policies of the Trump administration had "kind of helped lead the devastation."
Appearing on Democracy Now, a news program broadcast on PBS, among other outlets, Omar was asked to weigh in on what the host described as a "US-supported coup attempt" against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
"A lot of the policies that we have put in place has kind of helped lead the devastation in Venezuela and we have sort of set the stage for where we are arriving today," Omar said. "This particular bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and make regime change really does not help the people of countries like Venezuela and it certainly does not help and is not in the interest of the United States."
Omar added that there are "finally" lawmakers who have been elected to Congress who agree with her views.
That sparked plenty of backlash on social media and renewed calls for her to resign from the House Foreign Relations Committee.
Vote this creature out.

What's toxic is the Islamophobic double standard aimed at everything she says. And the lying b.s. that is Standard Operating Procedure for Trump World.
But it's all you got, and you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.
Scary times indeed!
You've been on a roll lately, keep up the good work. Glad you are engaged in spreading the words of truth about the slow suicide of the West. Maybe people will get "woke" before it's too late.
Tony,
I'm not hearing an argument, here—just empty, recycled claims. But substance-free rhetoric is all you got, and you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.
John Mac,
Thanks for the kind words. I doubt I have much impact, though, what with only five active readers, of whom only two or three comment regularly.
