On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Stephanie Rule stated that Lindsey Graham is being blackmailed by Trump. That was a rumor that surfaced out of the slime over the weekend. Since Steffie put that salacious gossip on the front page, Congress critter Ilhan Omar (D-MN) decided it was A-OK to spread the gossip further and tweeted this from one of her Muslim pals.
They got to him, he is compromised! https://t.co/m8sB3EmElg

I saw that tweet the other day and was utterly dumfounded. For two reasons.
Then again, it’s the Democrats and it’s ok if THEY do it but not ok if any Republican says anything like that.
Needless to say, Ilhan was called out and rightly so. Do you think that stopped her? Nope.
This morning she appeared on CNN and decided to double down on the gossip.
“And all of a sudden he’s made not only a 180 turn around but a 360 turn around,” Omar explained. Maybe someone can pull her aside to explain how circles work? Moving right along…
“And so I am pretty sure that there is something happening with him, whether it is, uh, something that has to do with his funding when it comes to running for office, whether it has something to do with the polling that they might have in his district, or whether it has to do with some sort of leadership within the Senate,” she said. Lindsey Graham is a U.S. Senator from South Carolina. He doesn’t have a district. But moving right along…
“He is somehow compromised to no longer stand up for the truth and to make sure he is fighting to protect the oath that he took in serving the American people,” she concluded without a shred of evidence.
What in the ever loving hell??!! Yes folks, she actually said that. The relevant remarks start at about 4.30 on the tape.
Amazingly the CNN anchors did pressure her to offer evidence to back up her reprehensible remarks. Did she offer any? No.
You see, because his behavior (like his epic smackdown of the Democrats and media during the Kavanaugh hearings) is no longer toeing the anti-Trump line, that means, according to Ilhan, that he has been compromised in some way.
I can’t even begin to tell you how abhorrent I find her behavior and comments. A member of Congress has now taken a salacious whisper campaign into the mainstream. She further doubled down after the CNN interview with this tweet.
Yes, because the Right thinks being homosexual is “compromising”.
Well I have news for them, being LGBTQ+ isn’t something we should be ashamed of!
Y’all know my tweet had nothing to do with his sexuality and everything to do with his blind cooperation w/ Trump.
Let’s focus! https://t.co/6FSvjnm8xi

Of COURSE her defenders are going to point out that she didn’t mean personal or sexual compromise. However, what they want us ALL to forget is that her initial tweet came directly from a tweeter suggesting that Graham has been sexually compromised. Not only that, but that tweet came about because of the heinous whisper campaign started by a member of the Democrat Coalition that became public via MSNBC!
So no, do NOT tell me that Ilhan’s remarks are to be excused. They aren’t. She has essentially leveled baseless accusations at Senator Lindsey Graham in hopes that he will back down and help spike Trump’s stance on the border wall and the government shut down.
Her additional remarks concerning her anti-semitism should send red flags as well.
.@IlhanMN: Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people & help them see the evil doings of Israel.
.@CNN: What’s your message to Jewish Americans who find that offensive?
.@IlhanMN: I don’t know how that is offensive to Jewish Americans.pic.twitter.com/vxMv6hEHj1

Not only that, but she’s happy to censor Congressman Steve King for his remarks, yet sees absolutely NO problem in repeating and furthering salacious unfounded gossip about Senator Lindsey Graham. Can we say two-faced???
Ilhan Omar’s conduct is highly unbecoming and she knows it. This is who you elected to Congress Minnesota. You have only yourselves to blame.

GWB says: because his behavior […] is no longer toeing the anti-Trump line, that means, according to Ilhan, that he has been compromised in some way.
And? The right often said similar things when he was McCain’s handmaid. Maybe this is the real Graham, maybe it’s not. I think it has something more to do with winning than it does with him being compromised. (I’m guessing he’ll stab conservatives in the back the moment it looks profitable to his ongoing political standing.)

Please quote that tweet, then, instead of the one you used. Because the one from Qasim Rashid, Esq. in your first tweet-quote does not say that. If it’s further down in his stream, then that one needs to be put up as well for context.
She has essentially leveled baseless accusations at Senator Lindsey Graham
And? This is politics, not beanbag. That particular bit from Omar doesn’t seem particularly egregious compared to some of the slanders out there. I’m not excusing it – I think it *is* slander. But it’s just not really that awful, given some of the first-class douchery we see from the left. (Personally, I think about 70% of Congress – both houses – should be tarred and feathered; and we should make it a semi-annual event if they keep coming back.)
Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people & help them see the evil doings of Israel.
That sh** is right out of some of the nastier parts of the Koran and the Hadith, though.
You have only yourselves to blame.
Yep! We get saddled with what 50%+1 of Minnesota’s 5th congressional district voters deserve!

I guess I should have added “or Trump” in there:

He finger-wagged Trump over the CODEL cancellation.
Nicki says: You know…
I think AOC is dangerous in her own way, because she uses her charisma to push profound economic ignorance and Marxist dogma, but this cunt and the Tlaib sow are dangerous anti-Semitic, bigoted swine who have no place in Congress. And if the GOP saw it fit to condemn Steve King, the Democrats should absolutely and publicly condemn these two pieces of fetid dog shit.
If the left is questioning the character of the people in Iowa for electing King, how is the character of the shitbags who elected these two bitches not in doubt?
Scott says: Islam truly is a disease of the mind, and this idiot is living proof…
Nicki says: Dude, bitch married her brother. I’m not sure her disease has anything to do with Islam. And frankly, I’ve met quite a few respectable Muslims in my travels. This isn’t an Islam thing. It’s an evil sack of twisted shit thing. 🙂
Scott says: Not arguing that at all Nicki, this bitch is more jacked up than a basketball bat.. But there’s no other “religion” in the world founded by a pedophile warlord, of which a major segment feels it’s perfectly acceptable to lie and kill anyone who doesn’t see things like them. I’d argue that any of the respectable muslims you’ve met are ones that don’t adhere to the true tenants of their “faith”..I could be wrong, but that’s my take.
Brian Brandt says: Blackmailed? Because he’s gay? Isn’t that kind of an open secret?
Desi says: I think it is an Islam thing. They openly attack it, while many of them participate in it. It is hypocracy.
GWB says: What? There’s no homosexuality in islam! They call buggering little boys by an entirely different name!
(And, it is more of a cultural thing than a religious one. It just happens to be approved by numerous imams.)
Nylon12 says: She’s a Muslim first and a Democrat second. Other Democrats won’t criticize her since she checks several boxes for the Dems, after all she is going after a white male right? Open season on them.
