Rep Ilhan Omar believes Tara Reade and that Joe shouldn't be the Democratic presidential nominee
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar told a British newspaper that she believes Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who’s accused Joe Biden of sexual assault.
The congresswoman told The Times of London in an article that was published Sunday that she believes Reade, saying: “Justice can be delayed, but should never be denied.”
Reade has accused the former vice president and presumptive presidential nominee of pinning her against a wall in 1993 and sexually assaulting her.
In the Times article, Omar tells the reporter that if it were up to her, Biden wouldn’t be the Democrats’ nominee for the November election. During the primaries, Omar was a vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders.
On Monday, in response to criticism on Twitter, the congresswoman tweeted that “believing survivors” is consistent with her values. She also said that the Times interview was conducted on May 6 and that the “quotes aren’t always in context.”
While Omar did not explain the context for the quotes in her tweets, she did say that she’ll vote for Biden in order to get Trump out of the White House.
He addressed the allegations in an interview with MSNBC earlier this month, saying that anyone who believes Reade 'probably shouldn't vote for me'.
'I wouldn't vote for me if I believed Tara Reade,' he added.

She’s a troll. As in, a person who does and says extreme controversial things in order to elicit a reaction.
Like Trump or Anne Coulter or Dennis Rodman.

She’s siding with a privileged white woman?

Where was the outrage when Trump refused to hold a White House ceremony to unveil Obama's portrait? Do Trump's ugly, racist comments bother her, such as referring to African countries and other heavily black-populated regions as bad places to do business or crime-ridden shitholes? Where was the outrage when Trump characterized black football players who took a knee for the anthem as "sons of bitches?" Where was the outrage when he called a black former White House employee, Omarosa Manigault-Newman, a "crazed, crying lowlife" and then added, "Good work by General Kelly for firing that dog."
Give me a break.

Nobody’s getting rid if her. Her district will keep voting her in.

Look, I don't agree with her.
But let us stop pretending that the Republicans have the same rules as the Democrats.
Republicans will never turn against each other even if they should.
Democrats are constantly running purity tests against each other.

She is going through a messy divorce and has done illegal things for her boyfriend. She seems just plain 'out of it' as well as lacking in common sense and definitely shouldn't be in American politics. She's a Far Left mess.

Isn't that an issue for her?

She only wins because of the large Somali population in her Mpls district and the extreme, almost beyond parody white guilt of the other white Minnesotans. Completely unable to discuss the possibility of any faults in the Somali population or Islam without being branded a racist.

R7, which is why Dems lose. They don't support their own. That's also what's wrong with #metoo - in the absence of proof, you're still guilty.

R14, I don’t WANT to support this cunt. She’s a bad person.
I’m not “eating my own” if I wouldn’t vote for her. And I’d vote for a decent Centrist Republican before I’d vote for her.
Lucky I don’t have to make that choice at the moment.

Duh.
Those Somalis are not going anywhere. That’s why she’s going to get re-elected. Because her constituents want her. The Jewish guy wins in the Jewish populated district, the Latino politician wins the Latino district, Devin Nunes only wins because his district because his ancestors come from the Azores

Ilhan Omar is a terrible person and I hope someone challenges the next time she runs. The only reason she won is there are a lot of Somali's in her district. She's got to go.

I believe Biden and always have, but I still like Omar. She offered that quote before the Megyn Kelly interview, FWIW. Not that it excuses her, but that's right before things really started to go downhill for Reade.
OP looking to create conflict. There are bigger fish to fry.

And many of Ilhan Omar's constituents believe she should be circumcised, shrouded, and kept at home.
