Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is an anti-Semite America-hating bigamist, but she’s also a plagiarist and a liar too. What’s not to like? Recently she told a story about how she witnessed racism first-hand, but it turns out her story was bullshit and lifted from the plot of Les Misérables. Since she married her brother, maybe she should have stole a story from Game of Thrones about incest. At least it would have been more believable.
The Washington Post originally reported on this but they have a border wall keeping illegal readers away from their content so I got this from Fox News, who welcomes everyone.
Recently Omar gave a speech to Richfield High School students, in which she recounted a harrowing tale of racism. 5 years earlier, she said she was working for a Minneapolis city councilman and was given the job to find problems in the court system. Then, she saw this happen:
There, she recalled encountering a “sweet, old . . . African American lady” who had been arrested for stealing a $2 loaf of bread to feed her “starving 5-year-old granddaughter.”
After spending the weekend in jail, the woman was led into the courtroom and fined $80 — a penalty she couldn’t pay.
“I couldn’t control my emotions,” Omar continued, “because I couldn’t understand how a roomful of educated adults could do something so unjust.”
“Bulls—!” she recalled yelling in the courtroom.
Hey, that’s just like Jean Valjean from Les Misérables who was jailed for 5 years after he stole a loaf of bread to feed his starving sister and her family. What are the chances that Omar would witness the same thing in modern day Minnesota?
As it turns out the chances are zero and even the WaPo noticed the similarities and even provided a fact-check:
“Omar’s story echoed the plot of ‘Les Miserables.’ If true, it is also probably embellished,” the newspaper claimed. “City officials said that police aren’t allowed to arrest people for shoplifting unless there’s a likelihood of violence or further crime. Typically, shoplifters are sentenced to attend a three-hour class.”
The WaPo reached out to Omar to give her a chance to defend her obvious lie and she just shoveled on more shit:
“She might have had a prior [arrest]. I’m not sure…The details might not have all matched, but that’s what I remember,” said Omar.
Maybe she just remembered watching Hugh Jackman singing and dancing like a fruit in the latest version of Les Misérables. Holy crap, what an embarrassment that was. He was Wolverine for crying out loud.
So now according to Omar, her story of racism goes like this: A black woman with a long criminal history was arrested for something other than shoplifting a loaf of bread to feed her starving grandchild and Omar screamed “bullshit!” in a court of law for reasons only known to her. Well, at least she got the bullshit part right.
You know, this Omar tale reminds me of the time that I went to live with relatives for some unexplained reason and turns out the town they lived in had outlawed dancing. Because I value my 1st Amendment right of expression through the power of dance, I organized the local kids to put on a school dance and changed everyone’s hearts including the bully whose girlfriend I stole and John Lithgow. Actually now that I think about it that might be the plot to Footloose but still doesn’t explain why I was banging Lithgow’s daughter who was supposed to be in high school but looked like she was in her 30’s.
This just goes to show that if democrats weren’t full of shit they’d be empty. Omar was caught lying, but it’s okay because she’s a female black Muslim leftist and won’t be held accountable for it. The only way she could be further excused from personal responsibility would be if she were transgender and I’m not 100% sure she isn’t.
