Controversial Congresswoman Ilhan Omar raised eyebrows among her fellow lawmakers Tuesday; bizarrely comparing President Trump’s non-existent ‘Muslim Ban’ to the ‘millions fleeing Nazi persecution’ during World War II.
“We are in the midst of the worst refugee crisis since World War II—a time when the U.S. refused protections for millions fleeing Nazi persecution. This decision—like the Muslim ban and family separation—will be remembered as a dark stain on our nation’s history,” posted Omar on social media.
