How will Democrats react now that Omar is taking on their idol over his “droning of countries around the world”?

As the chaos within the Democrat Party continues, Politico interviewed Democrat Minnesota Reps. Ilhan Omar and Dean Phillips about the future of the party.

Omar dished out harsh words for her party, but took a particular aim at President Barack Obama.

Omar went into politics in 2016 when she ran for a state seat in Minnesota. She managed to defeat a 22-term incumbent before she decided to head to Washington.

Why did Omar choose politics and a place in Congress? If you think it’s President Donald Trump, think again (emphasis mine):

As she saw it, the party ostensibly committed to progressive values had become complicit in perpetuating the status quo. Omar says the “hope and change” offered by Barack Obama was a mirage. Recalling the “caging of kids” at the U.S.-Mexico border and the “droning of countries around the world” on Obama’s watch, she argues that the Democratic president operated within the same fundamentally broken framework as his Republican successor.

“We can’t be only upset with Trump. … His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. They just were more polished than he was,” Omar says. “And that’s not what we should be looking for anymore. We don’t want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished.
Well this should be interesting...how's Nancy going to deal with this?? HC

We want to recognize the actual policies that are behind the pretty face and the smile.”

First off, she admits that caging of kids at the border began under Obama. One would think Trump started it the way the media and pundits go after him.
