Ilhan Omar Admits Fabricating Story About an ‘Injustice’ to High School Students

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) admitted to fabricating a story on a purported “injustice” to a group of students five years ago during her tenure as a Minneapolis city councilman, it was revealed Monday.

The Washington Post piece detailing Omar’s “complicated” relationship with the U.S. featured a brief mention of a story Omar told a group of 400 high school students at Richfield High School in Minneapolis five years ago. She told the students she witnessed a “sweet, old … African American lady” in a courtroom who spent a weekend in jail for stealing $2 loaf of bread to feed her hungry granddaughter.

She told them the woman was fined $80 – a fine she was incapable of paying. Omar told the students she “couldn’t control” her emotions because she “couldn’t understand how a roomful of educated adults could do something so unjust.” She claimed she shouted, “Bullsh*t!” in the courtroom.

However, even the Washington Post seemed to think Omar’s tale sounded oddly familiar:

​

Omar’s story echoed the plot of “Les Miserables.” If true, it is also probably embellished. City officials said that police aren’t allowed to arrest people for shoplifting unless there’s a likelihood of violence or further crime. Typically, shoplifters are sentenced to attend a three-hour class.​

When questioned, Omar admitted she likely omitted – or as the Post described it, “flubbed” – key details:

​

In an interview, Omar said she may have flubbed some facts. “She might have had a prior [arrest],” Omar said. “I’m not sure. . . . The details might not have all matched, but that’s what I remember.”​

As the Post noted, non-violent shoplifters with clean records are not immediately placed in jail. Rather, they are required to take a three-hour course, signaling another red flag in Omar’s story, seemingly aimed to taint the student body’s view of the justice system.

The Post also noted another instance of Omar flubbing basic facts, recalling her recent remarks to group of veterans. She reportedly told them that nearly half – 45 percent – of military families “rely on food stamps.”

It's one thing to tell other Samali Muslims that garbage but another thing to have access to natural born American kids to try to indoctrinate them.

Good show but forward to 37:35 for relevant topic.

The easiest way to destroy America is from within. Not from 9/11 style attacks but through the fundamental change of our government and from having a sheep who can't or refuse to see you doing it. Tucker Carlson worded it succinctly.

You didn't watch the video provided. How is Tucker spewing fake news? He doesn't work for CNN.

It doesn't matter if it's actually true or not.
If you don't like it, it's fake news spewed by the biased enemy of the people.

Good Lord, you're a fool for thinking your side is sane and right. Thanks, you're giving Trump another 4 years.

Don't leave this part out. You can't. It goes both ways. BOTH ways.

Do something for me. Dispute the points raised about Omar in the video? You bad.

Why is that news? Simple. because it meets their agenda requirements. This is a magazine cloaking themselves as a news outlet. All they do all day is spew propaganda related to this agenda all day. It's not about news anymore, it's about making news. Hitting your hot button so you will watch. They are all the same as far as I can see.

It's an opinion piece, not news, with very valid points. It's the same issues that many in this forum have except his message has a larger audience. If you disagree with what he said explain why he is wrong otherwise I'm not sure why it matters to you. Have you ever had something of value that people want to destroy and you don't know why and there is no appeasing them until they've taken you down a couple of notches. That is the Omar's of the world. Bring them in from starvation, tyranny, civil war, sickness and death and it's still not good enough for them.

Nothing to do with the story just the media. Why is that story more important than the thoughts of other congressmen. Yet all we hear everyday is anything that come out of their mouths. Yes it is an opinion piece and one that exactly fits their agenda. Organizations that publish this kind of material are magazines or propaganda newspapers like Pravda in Russia. News is something they spin and play with, suppressing some stories and highlighting others as they choose then throwing in opinion pieces disguised as news stories. They are controlling us with their spins, driving wedges between us, keeping us angry fired up and intent on watching more.

Another way to avoid debating the substance.
I’ve watched the video and will gladly debate you on the points brought up.
