Rep. Ilhan Omar
One of the furthest Left lawmakers in the country Rep. Ilhan Omar criticized former President Obama calling the “defund the police” movement a slogan, instead she refers to it as a “policy demand.” The progressive “Squad” member has been criticized by colleagues recently for contributing to the divine within the Democrat Party. Multiple lawmakers have pointed the blame of Democrat’s failure to strengthen their majority in the House on Dems like Omar pushing extreme policies.
We lose people in the hands of police. It’s not a slogan but a policy demand. And centering the demand for equitable investments and budgets for communities across the country gets us progress and safety. https://t.co/Vu6inw4ms7
