This is what a good American looks like.



Ilhan Omar wearing a hijab is her Constitutionally protected right under the 1st amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and
to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

When is enough going to be enough? Although I think Trump in many case says stupid stuff just to
change the news cycles from Trump/Russia.

The Rump isn't the first person to threaten her. And that's just the sad fact of our country.

He wants to keep us from talking and writing about his tax returns and Barr's treasonous behavior.

When a Republican says something stupid, the Republicans rally 'round and support them even if it was stupid. Omar has said things that have been twisted all out of shape by the right. Instead of taking the lead from the right, we need to stand up for what she ACTUALLY said and not take their framing.
