Ilhan Omar has been under fire for some of her past comments from both sides of the political spectrum. In a tweet, she wrote, Israel has hypnotized the world. She also made comments on 9/11. Omar has repeatedly received death threats from people across the country, and has received both criticism and support via Twitter. “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country. And I want to ask, why is it okay for me to talk about the influence of the NRA,of fossil fuel industries, or Big Pharma, and not talk about powerful lobby?”
