Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) got something of a hero’s welcome the moment she arrived back to her hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota on Thursday evening.
Yes, welcome home indeed.
Rep. Omar needs as much support as possible. She was already a target due to her religion, but now the right is circulating rumors that she commited tax and immigration fraud to get into the U.S. (at the ripe old age of 10!) and that she married her brother. And our supposed leader is helping to spread the lie. It’s birtherism all over again.
The crowd welcoming her not only showed trumpers that she IS home, but that she has support. Great optics.
This is nothing short of awesome and amazing. It’s absolutely heartwarming. Good job Minnesotans.
That was so heartening to see.
Must have something in my eye. What a wonderful reaction from MN. Trump and his rabid haters are up against a wall of Americans who have had enough of them.
To all the good people in Minnesota.
Fantastic. Exactly what we needed.

I hope she gets one no matter where she goes.
She is nothing if not a hero.
Her voters and supporters in Minnesota deserve kudos as well.
Beautiful way to beat back the haters. Show that woman some love.
Nice job Minnesotans.
A friend of mine pointed out that Trump has provided Rep. Omar with her re-election slogan for 2020: “Send Her Back!”
I’m so proud of my representative, The Honorable Ilhan Abdullahi Omar of Minnesota’s 5th congressional district!
Minneapolis is a hip, friendly, supportive, progressive, totally awesome city! God bless you all for electing Ilhan Omar and for showing her such love at the airport.
I have two friends who live in Minneapolis, both small c conservatives from big C Conservative donor families. They happen to be two women, married to each other. For every angry white man Trump radicalizes with this sh*t, he repels people who would otherwise be inclined to vote for what used to be the GOP agenda.
So now the Democrats have to figure out how to energize those people - not by appealing to the angry white men but by creating a big enough tent to welcome in people like my college friends. Goddess willing (and all of us canvassing, calling and marching like our lives depend on it - oh! because they do) we shall keep this republic.
Send Trump back to whatever hole he slithered out of. Then pack it with some of his own filth and put a five ton boulder over it.
Indeed, sometimes the phrase “Minnesota Nice” is apt.
Good for you, Minnesota
Holla Minnesota! Thank you.
Love, your fellow Americans
trump’s attack on Omar and the other three Representatives is not only racist, but SEXIST, too. He wouldn’t do this to a minority man. He is too much of a coward.
Fascism is a form of radical right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. (Wikipedia)
