This is not unsurprising on the subreddit. But Ilhan Omar makes me so proud of America. She is the best example of who we are. She is brilliant, calm, passionate, and courageous. And she came from Somalia to the frozen land of Minnesota as a child refugee. She faces faux outrage and discrimination in part becuase of these qualities. And yes, often b/c of her political views, but also b/c she is a danger to those that hold power.
As an old, white dude who lives in a different state, I just wanted to share that Ilhan's story is one of my favorite stories about the U.S.
