We give Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar a hard time around here, but maybe we’ve pegged her all wrong. Maybe she’s really just a good person who wants to help good people:
I recently met with @jkbadawy and @thefreedomi to talk about Hoda Abdelmonem, a political prisoner in Egypt. I hope that Trump brings up her case in his meeting with the regime that has imprisoned her. We must work to #FreeHoda. pic.twitter.com/3KMPNd4Kfb

Ilhan just wants to help out a “political prisoner” … who apparently just so happens to be pretty high up on the Muslim Brotherhood food chain.
I just confirmed: Hoda Abdelmonem is a ***senior female leader**** of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Why is an American congresswoman advocating for an Islamist activist?https://t.co/J6ZrcODgcJ

This seems … problematic. To say the least.
Um…no.

NO! America doesn't care one hoot about a member of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood being imprisoned. Why would you be advocating for her?

Well, Ilhan does have a soft spot for terrorists …
We all know that Hoda is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. You can stop your “poor victim” routine

Shilling for the Muslim Brotherhood again? You are beneath contempt.

Stop supporting Islamist extremists.
