Republican Peter King announced he is retiring from the House of Representatives at the end of his term. In other news Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar detonated an IED under the respected Congressman, calling him an Islamophobe and praising Allah that he’s going away. This is one of those things that if King had said it about Omar, it would be racist, but luckily she is a liberal Muslim woman of color and can get away with all manner of hatred and nastiness.
King announced his retirement in a Facebook post:
Which gave Omar jihadi wood:
Peter King is an Islamophobe who held McCarthyite hearings targeting American Muslims, said “there are too many mosques in this country” and blamed Eric Garner for his own death at the hands of police.
Good riddance. https://t.co/cYZOrnaK2M

Ilhan Omar said there are too many Jews in this country and blamed the victims of 9/11 for their own deaths. She’s not really a person who gets to go around wagging the finger of morality at people.
Also, her assessment of Peter King is a complete lie. In a 2007 interview with Politico, King did say there were too many mosques, but there was more to that statement giving it context:
New York Rep. Peter King, a prominent House Republican, said there are “too many mosques in this country” in a recent interview with Politico.
“There are too many people sympathetic to radical Islam,” King said. “We should be looking at them more carefully and finding out how we can infiltrate them.”
When asked to clarify his statement, King did not revise his answer, saying “I think there has been a lack of full cooperation from too many people in the Muslim community.”
UPDATE: On Wednesday, the congressman said: “The quote was taken entirely out of context by Politico. My position in this interview, as it has been for many years, is that too many mosques in this country do not cooperate with law enforcement. Unfortunately, Politico was incapable of making this distinction.”
So he wasn’t saying there are too many Mosques, he was saying there are too many mosques with radical Islamic terrorists and sympathizers. I’m sure Ilhan Omar can relate to that since she supports terrorism.
As for Eric Garner, he did cause his own death. He was an unhealthy career criminal who resisted arrest and died from a heart attack. If he was law-abiding or at least willing to comply with arresting officers and took better care of himself, he’d be alive right now.
You may have noticed the complete lack of liberal media outrage that Omar said “good riddance” to Peter King because part of their job is to protect the left from criticism. We don’t even have to play the “what if” game here becuase President Trump has said similar things to Omar and there was a media shitstorm.
When Trump directly quoted Omar downplaying the 9/11 terrorist attacks as “some people did something” the liberal media accused the President of hateful violence against the Muslim Rep. and said he put her life in jeopardy. When Trump suggested that anti-Semite/America-hater Omar go back to her native Somalia to gain some perspective on the greatness of this country, the liberal media called him a hateful xenophobe who was putting the Muslim Rep.’s life in jeopardy.
Omar misquoted King and falsely accused him of racism. Isn’t that a slightly more hateful than the President using her exact words? The answer is “yes” but the liberal media is under strict orders portray the left as moral crusaders taking on the the “racist” right.
