"Get out of the fucking robot, Ilhan"
Kamille Bidan move
She couldn't even wait til one week before the general election? Wouldn't make it any better, but at least symbolically hold his feet to the fire by withholding you support for a long as possible.
The incredible negotiation tactic of giving up all leverage before a single one of your demands is even addressed.
hope her daughter makes her feel like shit all the time over this
Remember when she voted "present" on recognizing the Armenian Genocide?
did anybody ever come up with a convincing explanation for this
Her explanation -- which I believe since she explicitly said that the genocide happened subsequently -- is that she didn't approve of the recognition of a genocide being used as a political football. She's a garbage liberal, but I don't think she was wrong there specifically.
Ties to Turkey. Omar had a private meeting with Erdogan in 2017, and some of his allies have contributed to her campaign. According to a report, the meeting ended with a request of support from Erdogan. Omar posted the report on her Twitter account before it was deleted.

President Erdoğan who thanked MP Ilhan Omar and the accompanying delegation especially praised the good leadership and reputation of the MPs for all the Muslims living in the United States. President Erdoğan asked MP Ilhan to be a voice for him and support her Turkish brothers and sisters.
some of our problematic faves might be implicated
lol, lmao
Imagine being shocked by this in the year of our lord, 2024
So is the squad down to just Rashida Tlaib at this point or did she screw something up too?
Well that hurts a bit.
Sheep dogging Sucdems just doing their thing.
She is being primaried by the same Uncle Ruckus as last time (Don Samuels). He's funded by right-wing "think" tanks and ideologues while he slaves like a stevedore in an attempt to hide those connections. It's kind of hard to do so, however, when everyone remembers Samuels' abortive attempts to voucherize the Minneapolis public schools (he also recommended "blowing up" the North High campus). So Omar is probably just flexing her "moderate, reasonable" chops to get some of that sweet DNC money. The PMC/lanyard types are always complaining about Omar being too "radical", so it's probably playing safe on her part to do this (especially because Samuels came close to beating her last time).
I was under the impression she was always a saudi shill? I remember she used to make sectarian comments against syria and iran. So im not surprised.
