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

change the news cycles from Trump/Russia.

(6,007 posts)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.
