Ilhan Omar Barely Brings Herself To Tepidly Condemn Violence Against ICE Agents

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Sunday gave a tepid condemnation of violence against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents after MS NOW host Elise Jordan pressed her to do so.

Border czar Tom Homan on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” Sunday criticized Democrats’ “hateful rhetoric” against the ICE agent who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday. After Jordan played a clip of Homan’s remarks on “The Weekend: Primetime,” she provided Omar the chance to denounce violence against ICE agents.

“Congresswoman, I’ll give you the opportunity right now,” Jordan said. “Do you condemn all violence on ICE agents?”

Rather than issue a condemnation, Omar attacked Homan and President Donald Trump’s administration.

“I mean, I would say this man has to look into the mirror. He has to look into the administration that he serves. These are people who are calling this mother of three a domestic terrorist,” Omar said. “They are saying people are out there committing terror. And it is unconscionable the way in which they are describing the American public against law enforcement that are trained to protect and serve them. And, I mean I’m at a loss of words to hear him say what he just said.”

“But yes or no, you do condemn violence on any ICE agents?” Jordan followed up.
