'It's not about your melanin': Ilhan Omar claims racism after Mike Pence says she 'doesn't know what she's talking about' on Venezuela

Rep. Ilhan Omar lashed out at Mike Pence today, accusing the vice president of racism for daring to criticize her stance on Venezuela:

Women of color have heard this before. Instead of "we disagree," it's "she doesn't know what she's talking about." They have to make us feel small.

This from an Administration that thinks climate change is a Chinese hoax. https://t.co/8ZaHfY4hfH

Or maybe skin color has nothing to do with it and it’s that she really doesn’t know what she’s talking about?

Anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) responds to accurate criticism that she does not know what she is talking about on Venezuela by claiming she is a victim of racism. https://t.co/cngtDRTELX

But you also don’t know what you’re talking about.

It's worth considering that maybe

It's not about your melanin

Maybe you are just truly ignorant
