Article from The Daily Caller by Hanna Bogorowski.
Newly elected Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar posted a list of celebratory firsts and records Thursday on Twitter, but Republican Michigan Rep. Justin Amash pointed out one falsehood.
Omar, the first Somali-American elected to U.S. Congress, wrote “The #116thCongress has SO much to be proud of” before listing several broken barriers that came with Thursday’s swearing-in ceremony.
The #116thCongress has SO much to be proud of:
✅1st Somali-American + Refugee
✅1st Muslim women (@RashidaTlaib & I)
✅1st Indigenous women
✅1st Palestinian-American
✅Youngest (28) @AOC
✅Record 100+ women
✅Largest ever Black (55), Hispanic (37), & Progressive (98) caucuses— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) January 3, 2019
Presumably referring to the newly elected representative and Democratic socialist from Michigan, Rashida Tlaib, Omar attributed her the title of the “1st Palestinian-American” in Congress.
Tlaib is the first female Palestinian-American serving in Congress, but not the first Palestinian-American, as Amash succinctly pointed out.
My father is Palestinian, and I’ve been in Congress since 2011.

Just another delusional Democrat who thinks the World revolves around her — perhaps a distant cousin of Pelosi or Feinstine?! Nothing great to write about!!
They are not Americans that is for sure they hate GOD and his son JESUS and they hate America too. They shouldn’t even be able to run for any part of congress. That is just my opinion everyone has one.
My opinion is just like yours.
They are ONLY GARDEN VARIETY OF GUTTER TRASH ! Who in the HELL cares what they say..
They are not Americans and they should not be here ! They believe in False Doctrine ..
