Shame on the Democrats and the House!




Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.



Shame on the Democrats and the House!  Trump’s tweets have nothing to do with racism and everything to do with the failure of Islamic ideology in the countries from which two of the congresswomen came from and the failure of Communist ideology the other two espoused. As Czech president Milos Zeman said, political correctness is a euphemism for political cowardice.

Just a few days ago Ayaan Hirsi Ali wrote in the WSJ article titled Can Ilhan Omar Overcome Her Prejudice?:

“Islamists have understood well how to couple Muslim anti-Semitism with the American left’s vague notion of “social justice.” They have succeeded in couching their agenda in the progressive framework of the oppressed versus the oppressor. Identity politics and victimhood culture also provide Islamists with the vocabulary to deflect their critics with accusations of “Islamophobia,” “white privilege” and “insensitivity.” A perfect illustration was the way Ms. Omar and her allies were able to turn a House resolution condemning her anti-Semitism into a garbled “intersectional” rant in which Muslims emerged as the most vulnerable minority in the league table of victimhood.
