No big deal, just Ilhan Omar palling around with some woman who happens to be a 'literal terrorist' (and anti-Semite) [pics, video]

Squee, you guys! Let’s hear it for Girl Power! None other than the illustrious Angela Davis is proud to #StandWithIlhan:

"I am extremely proud that finally we've elected someone to Congress who speaks out … on behalf of all people who are oppressed," says Angela Davis of Congressmember Ilhan Omar. She adds, "I'm also quite afraid for her. We know she has received many death threats." pic.twitter.com/flJsDeUVug

Isn’t that special? Ilhan Omar certainly thinks so. She retweeted it and everything:

And as if that weren’t inspiring enough, Davis also took part in a pro-Ilhan-Omar rally:

“We’re here to defend the right of Black people to speak about what happens in this country, and we are here to stand with Ilhan Omar and other progressive women. We want the GOP and 45 to back off and we want the Democrats to step up.”- @BarbaraRansby on why we#StandWithIlhan pic.twitter.com/jDtoRbf7dW

More from the Hill:

Activist Angela Davis and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) joined numerous other black women activists and members of Congress in a rally Tuesday to support Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

Davis and Barbara Ransby, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and adviser to the Movement for Black Lives, told Democracy Now they planned the event, called Black Women in Defense of Ilhan Omar, in response to escalating attacks against the freshman Democrat, who said death threats against her spiked after conservatives accused her of minimizing the 9/11 attacks and President Trump tweeted a video interspersing her words with images from the attacks.

Trump, Davis said, “uses this bizarre logic of fungibility, where one Muslim represents the worst—or all Muslims, rather, represent the worst deeds that any Muslim has ever conducted,” a logical process she said was “at the heart of racism.”
