Republicans, rightwing figures and foreign politicians have seized upon the video despite proof the lawmaker was misquoted
Even if she did say “Somalians first…” how many White Americans call themselves Irish or Italian? And have parades celebrating how Irish or Italian they are?
this is a bs comment. I have never known anyone to make a comment that their nationality first over america. Total pride in it sure and maybe something close like we are not just americans but X americans but not like it takes priority. Granted this comment is based on yours saying if she did say it so because moot in reality.

Cool. That includes Ilhan Omar.
Maybe. The article does not give the “correct” translation so who knows. One side says omar said this and the other said no its not that.
It absolutely does give the correct translation. Literally the third paragraph of the article:
According to the Minnesota Reformer, a Minnesota-based news outlet, which worked with two independent Somali translators, Omar said: “We are people who know that they are Somali and Muslim”, not that she was “Somalians first” as the video suggested.
How many Somali translators did “the other side” use?

Several, but lots of other intermediates were involved. At one point, they actually arrived at exactly this!
You heard em folks, burn all the “Kiss me I’m Irish” shirts for being un-American
Those shirts aren’t being worn in the halls of Congress.
Because you have to wear suits there…
And yet Ilham Omar calls for genocide of Israelis in Congress…
When did she do that? Please show us the source that makes this claim.

In my mind, interference in Israel’s ability to secure itself from terrorist attacks is calling on Israelis to roll over and die.
