slap in the face
It appears that Democrats have fallen off the cliff, led by Nancy Pelosi. She declared Ilhan Omar a valued member of the Democratic Party, despite that Omar compared America to Hamas in perpetrating unthinkable atrocities.
That is a direct slap in the face to the America that has sacrificed millions of soldiers while liberating the oppressed in two World Wars and other armed conflicts.
If Omar hates America this much why doesn’t she just leave? Further, why doesn’t the apparently spineless Democratic Party officially rebuke her?
Meanwhile our Democrat governor sits on his hands with his mouth shut. Minnesota deserves better.

The letter concerning Democrats for defending Ilhan Omar is concerning. Yes, I believe Omar should engage brain before starting mouth. Would the writer also condemn the Republicans for their actions regarding the Congressional awards to the Capitol Police who defended our Democracy on January 16th? I think that is a bigger slap in the face ignited by more than one member of the House of Representatives. There are certainly more obtrusions that I could write about by the Republicans, but I am sure the editors of this newspaper would not find the room for them.
