As Twitchy told you earlier, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar hit “send” on a tweet libeling the Covington Catholic students and defending the Black Hebrew Israel. After getting ratio’d into oblivion, she deleted it.
Well, this afternoon, she tried to acquit herself with this follow-up tweet:
So there’s that.

It’s enough to make you question the competence of our elected officials.

This tweet doesn't make any sense… https://t.co/31eiP2mycT

No, it really doesn’t. But Ilhan Omar thinks it does, and that’s what’s really scary.

What does "don't separate that misinformation" even mean? Does she mean propagate? Circulate?

She’s really giving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a run for her money.
"no, YOU'RE fake news!"

I have to give @IlhanMN credit. She's going full-on Galaxy Brain, and she knows that absolutely no one outside conservative media is going to give a damn.https://t.co/Z0ZjBiJvbg

And they really should give a damn. Because clearly this woman is not only out of her mind; she’s also willfully dishonest.
No, they're reporting on your lies. https://t.co/id9cWJT914

You have a large platform and posted false smears against kids. The correct fix was to post a correction and screenshot so that your followers would know you were wrong, not simply delete the tweet after tens of thousands of shares and pretend it never happened. https://t.co/a2PMHk23c9

1) If you were an honest person, you never would have tweeted this in the first place because 1 min of research would have shown how wrong you were
2) If you’re going to delete a tweet, issue a correction to inform your followers of the mistake
3) Get owned lib https://t.co/mQvOJuKaKq

Until you apologize, it is the truth. https://t.co/gbW6RfKosD

She won’t apologize … but would you settle for another deletion?
2. @IlhanMN has deleted this tweet. The second tweet she's deleted in the past 24 hours that ended up in a major ratio. pic.twitter.com/jtxRJHHY75

Looks like she realized how stupid she looked…deleted. pic.twitter.com/zVMowTcVHG

Apparently she is just deleting all her tweets now. Maybe the preferable way to do this is to think before you tweet? pic.twitter.com/F4bNy8GR7t

Hey now. That’s a pretty tall order for Ilhan Omar.
That's two crazy tweets and two deletions today for @ilhanmn, who needs a remedial course from @aoc apparently

AOC needs to tutor her freshman classmate in how to Twitter. My God. https://t.co/05DWt94v0Q

Right?
Holy cow, now @IlhanMN deleted THIS one! What is going on over there?? pic.twitter.com/PgOUcqEyLB

She’s been owned. She’s been owned so hard.

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of @IlhanMN's tweets until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on! pic.twitter.com/LcCWi4F8JL

Anyone else on the edge of their seat waiting to find out what’s next from Ilhan Omar?
Third time's the charm?
— Alex Griswold (@HashtagGriswold) January 23, 2019
How soon before she pulls the race card?
Taking bets. https://t.co/YluIBLf6VT

Update:
Guys, Ilhan Omar just tried to play it cool over her series of self-owns:
Lol, it’s handled!
Got busy whipping votes and things got wild ?
Here to smoother transition for all of us. Thank you for checking in ?? pic.twitter.com/AR0EDK9YQz
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) January 23, 2019
You know what that means: Screenshot time!
Got a screenshot of @IlhanMN's latest as soon as it showed up, just in case! pic.twitter.com/s4WMr9DNmb
