New York Times Columnist Thomas Friedman: Ilhan Omar Is a ‘Bridge-Destroyer’

Breitbart: New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman told CNN’s Smerconish on Saturday that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) did nothing to build bridges with Jews and Muslims after her recent antisemitic comments about Israel and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

Friedman said that while Omar had the opportunity to “build bridges” between the Jewish and Somali-Muslims who reside in her district, she squandered that opportunity by repeatedly pushing forth antisemitic tropes.

“Ilhan Omar represents, I believe, the biggest Jewish community in the whole upper Midwest,” Friedman told CNN in a Saturday interview. “She represents that community. She also represents a Somali immigrant community that’s come to our city since then and added their voices and their richness and their culture.”

“She was perfectly poised to be a bridge-builder between Muslims and Jews, between Arabs and Israelis,” Friedman continued. “And rather than come to Washington and be a bridge-builder, she has come to be a bridge-destroyer.” read more

  1. She is but one of many numerous plants in American politics by communist/Islamic backers bent on destroying this country.
    She, like others, should be destroyed.

  2. Hmm, “Ilhan Omar represents, I believe, the biggest Jewish community in the whole upper Midwest,” Friedman told CNN” and I’d bet cash money damn near everyone one of them voted for the bitch.
