Representative Ilhan Omar is right when she speaks up! This woman born in Somalia, a refugee at a young age, then growing up in the state where I was born and grew up, Minnesota, is in my view actually a better American, more true to and more articulate about basic American values, than many native-born Americans.
Omar continues to be vilified by many American Jews egged on by Israel and by many in the far right-wing Republican party of course. But the more they attack her the more she should realize she is effectively doing her job as a member of Congress and fulfilling her citizenship responsibilities as a now publicly known person. Ilhan Omar deserves our ongoing thanks and applause.
