This is quite the shock. What exactly is going on here?
Rep. Ilhan Omar said she didn’t believe former Vice President Joe Biden could be the progressive leader she thinks the group requires to head against President Trump to the presidential election in 2020.
In a new interview with The Guardian, Omar discussed her worries about Biden after appearing on Saturday at the Iowa People’s Presidential Forum. She said there was no enthusiasm for the former vice president to stimulate long-lasting change.
“There are few people who fit into the kind of progress that we all want to see in this country. And I would say he is not one of them,” she said.
“I think it has been very clear to many of the people who have been creating the kind of movement that is exciting generations, that we want somebody who really has a plan that is going to tackle a lot of the systematic challenges that we have, and he doesn’t,” Omar added.
Omar is a member of the progressive “squad” — along with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y., Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley, — and has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration, and the president’s policy agenda.
The Guardian also spoke with the aspiring Democrat Julian Castro in 2020 and questioned him about Biden’s absence from the forum. He said that if candidates expect to prevail over Trump, they must be in touch with voters.
“I’ll just say that if we’re going to win this election in 2020, it’s going to be because we excite people, and we can’t excite them if we don’t show up for them,” he said.
she needs to do some para chute testing at 30,000 ft out of a C-130. quality checking to see if they were packed correctly
Wonderful comment and I couldn’t agree more!!
This DERANGED AND DEPLORABLE STOOGE SQUAD SISTER needs to be IMPEACHED and DEPORTED ! She doesn’t care about anyone or anybody as last as she gets her TWO CENTS in. She
should talk she’s ONLY not FRAUD but she’s also a ADULTEROUS and a TAX CHEAT ! Make her Answer up to those Questions. Who cares what she THINKS !
Yeyes but if she was in Somalia with what you said she would have already been put out of her misery za as an adulterer she would be stoned as disobeying her legal Husband 100 lashes with a ratan cane. She us safe here until her Friends at C. A. I. R., the Muslim Brotherhood, I. S. I. S.are in power but if she is still alive they will give her no pity
Ilan Omar FRESHMAN Congressman/ woman “rejects” Joe Biden….well!!!
I guess she should pick the candidate. After all, she has all that experience picking “men”. And, she has displayed little “bias” throughout her first year or so, right?
Move back where you came from we don’t need racist terrorist in this country . go do your socialist dance and bullshit where you came from !
Omar needs to raise her acceptability rating to the constituency, and there isn’t any doubt that she is very crafty. She is aware that ,to most people, no matter political preference, they don’t like her, they naturally suspect her motives. She is not for America, only for what she can get out of America. She has been living a lie, breaking both civil and federal law, therefore she has no legitimacy to trivialize Biden, although it is evident that Biden has no abilities to even run for the presidency. There is no “acceptable” Democrat in the Democrat candidate lineup vs. Trump. All of them, put together, have no value compared to President Trump.
Everything she accuses the right of doing, she herself is guilty of the same- she needs a mirror to look at what she is doing – I don’t think this person has a conscience!
I think SISTER NUTCASE Ilhan doesn’t know what she is talking about . . . The whole Democratic party can’t lead ANYONE ANYWHERE except off the proverbial cliff – They’re all INSANELY STUPID. Team Trump and his allies 2020.
Just the person we need to give us advice about the next election. She would vote for Bin Laden if he was alive.
