Congresswoman Ilhan Omar surprised some constituents during a Town Hall event this week; blaming police officers for the drastic rise in crime across Minneapolis.
“What we must also recognize is that the reduction in policing currently in our city, and the lawlessness that is happening is due to two things,” Omar claimed. “One, the police have chosen to not fulfill their oath of office and to provide the public safety they are owed to the citizens they serve, right? It’s documented. But even before that, it was documented. The Minneapolis Police Department is the most dysfunctional police department, in our state and probably in the country.”

“The second part is that there has to be accountability,” Omar continued. “And someone that is actually taking responsibility for what the police does invest in to. And that doesn’t exist in this moment. And I do believe that the current charter that we have, that’s tied the hands of those who want to have that accountability, because we are mandated to have a specific amount of policing, we are mandated to, you know, have the kind of these union contracts that we have right now. I don’t know any other big city in the state of Minnesota that has the charter that we have, it just doesn’t exist.”

“’The people — and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!’ President George W. Bush. Was Bush downplaying the terrorist attack? What if he was a Muslim?” posted Omar on social media.

Omar weighed-in Wednesday on the government’s plan to gradually re-open the US economy; bizarrely claiming “billionaires” are willing to risk “millions of lives” for “profit.”
“Billionaires want to continue profiting off your labor even if it means risking millions of lives.
They call this ‘freedom,’” posted Omar.

Omar called on the federal government to “cancel rent and mortgages” during the Coronavirus pandemic this week; urging lawmakers to provide all Americans with “universal monthly payments.”
“We need to cancel rent and mortgages for the duration of the crisis. We need to provide universal monthly payments to all Americans. And we need to make sure our states and cities don’t go bankrupt. We need to pass a fourth relief package immediately,” said Omar.
