Rep. Omar Faces Another Censure Resolution in House

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is again facing censure in the House after referring to some Jewish students at Columbia University as pro-genocide. Omar, who is of Somali heritage and a member of the “Squad,” a faction of extreme left-wing Democrats, made the comments Thursday during a visit to the tent encampment set up by pro-Palestinian protesters at the university. Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, a junior at Columbia’s sister school Barnard College, was among a number of protesters arrested April 18 and then suspended for participating in the encampment. https://www.wcbm.com/news/rep-omar-faces-another-censure-resolution-in-house/
