If you are simplistic enough....
...to think that the use of drones is "murder," (unjustified killing) then you ought to be able to point out that a Democrat (a beloved Democrat) engaged in these policies without being personally attacked. Obama had a policy that she strongly disagrees with. Fine. It doesn't mean she's not a Democrat. Surely we can disagree with one another's policies???
"We can't be only upset with Trump because he's not a politician who sells us his policies in the most perfect way. His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. They just were more polished than he was, and that's not what we should be looking for anymore," Omar added. "We don't want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished, we want to recognize the actual policies that are behind the pretty face and the smile so that we can understand the kind of negative impact, or positive impact they will have on us for generations to come."
