Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar has been accused of hating America, mostly because she hates America and makes lots of anti-American statements. In an effort to show she is as “America first” as the next jihadi, her response to the coronavirus emergency in the U.S. is to demand that President Trump remove all sanctions on Iran. Her constituents in Minnesota can take comfort in knowing that their representative is trying to ensure that Iran can build nuclear weapons while they get sick and die from a foreign virus.
The Huffington Post reports that Omar and other democrats sent a letter to the Trump administration demanding justice for a murderous radical Islamic regime:
The Trump administration should suspend sweeping U.S. sanctions on Iran that are hindering the country’s response to its massive coronavirus outbreak, more than 30 lawmakers said in a letter to top officials on Tuesday.
The congressional letter, shared with HuffPost ahead of its public release, is addressed to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). Notable signatories include Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.).
That’s a who’s who of f*ck you, America.
“Allowing this crisis to become more dire in Iran threatens significant harm not only to the people of Iran but also to people in the United States and around the world,” read the letter.
How does not easing sanctions against Iran hurt the people of the United States? President Trump had the foresight to ban travel to and from Iran way before the coronavirus hit.
The letter from lawmakers noted that President George W. Bush’s administration “eased sanctions and delivered aid to Iran following a deadly earthquake near Bam in 2003. Our many disputes with the government of Iran or others should not stand in the way of actions that can materially help innocent people weather a pandemic.”
Remember when democrats hated George W. Bush?
“Sanctions relief that should be considered are those that encompass major sectors of the Iranian economy, including those impacting civilian industries, Iran’s banking sector and exports of oil, and should last for at least as long as health experts believe the crisis will continue,” the letter read.
This gets dumber because President Trump actually tried to help out those crazy Iranian terrorists, but they told our country to f*ck off, like they always do. Even the HuffPo had to reluctantly admit this:
The U.S. preserved loopholes for food and medical trade with Iran and acknowledged its need by offering aid, American officials have noted, but Iran’s Supreme Leader rejected the offer. Last month, Trump authorized a new channel for humanitarian exports to the country that allows companies to seek approval for deals from the U.S. and Swiss governments without fear of incurring American penalties.
Is it weird that these anti-American U.S. lawmakers didn’t send a letter to Iran demanding that they “take the help, stupid”? No, hating Trump and this country is way more important than assigning blame where it belongs.
Iran’s coronavirus death rate is high because the stupid people of that country have been drinking rubbing alcohol, thinking it will stop them from getting infected. People in America know that drinking rubbing alcohol kills you, but Iranians aren’t privy to something the rest of the world has known for centuries.
And that goes to the saying, “people get the leadership they deserve.” If Iran wants to be a part of the civilized world, they may want to consider another revolution and overthrow the crazy radical Islamic f*ckers that have been running their country into the ground since the 1970’s. Until then, don’t expect the rest of us to sympathize.
