The reaction from Democrats after the Soleimani strike was disgusting, to say the least.
Leading the way was Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who not only claimed to have a PTSD attack from the Iran conflict, but she was also seen giggling on the podium during the press briefing.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) did not take either of those instances lightly, calling her a ādisgrace and offensive.ā
Sticking Up for Soleimani
As we have stated numerous times, the attack against Soleimani was in line with the strike against bin Landen, or it should have been.
Instead, the attack has been politicized by Democrats, saying the repercussions of the attack and the attack itself were out of line with the strikes Iran had conducted.
What they are missing, though, was the accumulation of Soleimaniās role in the deaths of hundreds of our troops the reign of terror he has conducted over the people of Iran and Iraq.
For Rep. Banks, Omar claiming she had PTSD was just too much to takeā¦
Rep. Ilhan Omar complained sheās āstricken with PTSDā because of recent events in the Middle East.
This is a disgrace and offensive to our nationās veterans who really do have PTSD after putting their life on the line to keep America safe. pic.twitter.com/twhZDuUDu0

Omar immediately fired back at Banks, claiming her time in Somalia as a child has left her with PTSD.
Banks, however, did not back down, firing right back at her for her actions during the press conference, where she can clearly be seen laughing on the dais during the presserā¦
No @IlhanMN – you canāt change the subject.
Your words and actions at todayās press conference reveal your feelings toward our soldiers serving abroad and the video speaks for itself. š https://t.co/T2OREUaIm6

As usual, liberals stepped in to defend Omar, calling Banks ignorant, among other thingsā¦
Dear @RepJimBanks,
This is a tremendously ignorant thing to say.
Veterans like us know that people wearing uniforms arenāt the only ones impacted by war.@Ilhan is a refugee. We stand with her against hawkish elites like you. #VetsForIlhan #EndForeverWar https://t.co/oIE3iWZGK9

Anything to Justify
The fact here is that Omar has sided with terrorists at virtually every opportunity.
She has sympathized with numerous terrorist organizations and has asked for both empathy and leniency when it comes to terrorists being prosecuted here in the United States.
She is a disgrace and needs to be removed from office.
Her actions here and prior prove she cares little about America and Americans.
Her goal is to tear our country apart from within and right now, she and her fellow Squad members are succeeding.
