Ilhan Omar has big foreign policy plans and Ben Rhodes, for one, thinks they’re awesome [video]

What could possibly go wrong? Besides, well, everything?

NEW: Ilhan Omar has a plan for progressive foreign policy; the US can stand for human rights but she also uniquely knows how it's failed to, she told me. Ben Rhodes praises it as a "progressive baseline" & anti-war groups are rallying behind her. Details:https://t.co/nLnkje7VlY

Omar would
— move wartime $ to peace-building
— give Congress more power over sanctions
— join the ICC & UN agreements on migration+children’s rights
(and more)

It’s a pitch that affirms she’s thinking about more than Israel-Palestine—and is eager to have her influence felt.

Progressives seem to always want to rally behind any ideas that will punish Jews

You know, it’s bad enough that Ilhan Omar thinks she should plot the path of our foreign policy. But when you consider who’s supporting her, it actually gets worse.

????Ben Rhodes ???

Ben Rhodes praises Omar’s proposed foreign policy plan. That’s not an endorsement. That’s a “stay clear at all cost”. #Election2020

“Ben Rhodes praises it”

If that’s not a red flag I don’t know what is.
