Here is why Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota is getting extra attention from President Trump: dark skin, immigrant, Muslim, female, Democrat. She is a five-star specimen for a hatchet job by our loving President.

He hates Somalians, no matter how well they have done for themselves while in America. He hates immigrants unless they are from white South Africa or white northern and western Europe. He hates Muslims and religious freedom with a deep and wide passion. He believes women are for the forceful taking by the rich and strong. And he believes Democrats are either “Dumocrats” or “communists.”

Poor Ms. Omar has a lot going against her in Trump world.
