Democrats never run out of over-the-top hyperbole, and Ilhan Omar is no exception. She called out the ‘far right insurrectionists’ who were trying to negotiate concessions from the McCarthy wing of the Speaker of the House battle.
You read that correctly. Ilhan Omar, the woman who described the terrorists attacks of 9/11 as ‘some people did something’, sees elected members of Congress as insurrectionists.
McCarthy just agreed to a deal with far right insurrectionists that would hold the entire US and global economy hostage to extreme cuts to everything from housing to education, healthcare, Social Security and Medicare.
Hard to overstate how dangerous this is.

We’re running deficits in the trillions of dollars, they just passed another $1.7 trillion in money we don’t have, and Ilhan Omar sees potential spending cuts as ‘dangerous’? Crikey!
You know Twitter had some things to say about this horribly bad take.
Dangerous freedom > peaceful slavery

Imagine wanting the government to control your life.
Just wait until they hone in on auditing immigration and naturalization. Retroactively.

HA! What exactly is she implying?

Ohhhhh, that’s what. LOL.
It sounds like some kind of crazy internet rumor, and then you realize the ‘fact checkers’ are content to allow this allegation to hang out there as ‘Unproven’.
Democrat privilege at its finest.
Democrats just pushed through a $1.7 Trillion Omnibus Bill, and you're worried about spending more money already. Sounds like that deal was needed!
— Vic DeGrammont (@votedegrammont) January 7, 2023
Exactly!
The deficit was $1.4 trillion last year. It's projected to go up the rest of this decade. And the national debt is $31 trillion.
We're broke. So you better start cutting everything before we're completely insolvent.

They. Don’t. Care.

They always find a way to overstate everything.
There's nothing more dangerous than a member of Congress angry that they can't spend an infinite amount of your money. https://t.co/eBsAt9No9S

How dare they threaten to reduce irresponsible spending.
Imagine how they’d react if the GOP actually did it. Yeah, we’re not holding our breath either.
Only far-right insurrectionists want to cut spending? LOL https://t.co/izLyBKB8vd

Hey, if that’s what insurrection means now, count us in!
Stop, you’re making me really, really like #KevinMcCarthy 😂😂😂 https://t.co/NdJaO7Gei0

Yes, please.
Sounds amazing. Extreme debt requires extreme cuts. Y’all have a spending problem. https://t.co/ukXSM6PZre

Don’t threaten us with a good time, Ilhan.
