What about her lobbying a judge to go easy on person who tried to join ISIS?
Sure doesn’t do her any favors when you try to explain away those 9/11 comments.
Combine that with her multiple insensitive comments directed at Israel, and it’s not hard for some people to see this as a concerning pattern of behavior.
“Back in 2016, Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar wrote a letter to a judge requesting a more lenient sentence on behalf of a Minnesota man who was accused of trying to join ISIS. Abdirahman Yasin Daud was one of two young men arrested in San Diego in April 2015. They were a part of a larger group of nine that was arrested for trying to join ISIS. Daud specifically was caught trying to buy fake passports in order to travel to Syria. Federal prosecutors requested Daud spend 30 years in prison followed by a lifetime of supervised release. Omar was one of the 13 people to write letters to Judge Michael Davis on Daud’s behalf.”
