llhan Omar Scurries Away To Car When Asked About Murders Of Israeli Embassy Staff

Democrat Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar fled from a Fox News reporter outside of the U.S. Capitol Thursday as she was asked to respond to the tragic shooting that killed two Israeli Embassy staffers.

The alleged gunman, 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who appears to be a pro-Palestinian activist, opened fire on a group of four people as they exited the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, which led to the deaths of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. Omar refused to react to the shooting when asked to comment by Fox News Capitol Hill producer Dan Scully.

“Congresswoman Omar, can I get your reaction to the shooting that happened in D.C. last night?” Scully asked.

“I’m gonna go for now,” Omar said as she walked to a vehicle. (RELATED: Ilhan Omar Tells Reporter To ‘F*ck Off’ Over Basic Question About El Salvador)
