'She Doesn't Belong In Our Party,' Minnesota Democratic Rep Said Of Ilhan Omar
|
[DAILYCALLER] Minnesota Democratic Rep. Collin Peterson criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
, saying that "she doesn’t belong in our party" in a September video, according to the Star Tribune.
His comments came in response to an operative for the National Republican Congressional Committee, who asked Peterson why he defended Omar after she said that "some people did something," referring to the 9/11 attacks. The video was first obtained by the New York Post.
Peterson, who called himself the "only conservative Democrat left" to the Star Tribune, has represented western Minnesota for the past three decades. He was one of the few Democrats to vote against the Affordable Care Act in 2010, and was one of two Democrats to vote against both articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump
 ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
in 2019. (The other, New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, joined the GOP shortly after the vote.)
Now, as Congress becomes more polarized, Peterson has found himself increasingly isolated, the Tribune reported. While the Blue Dog Democrat won reelection in 2016 as Trump won his district by over 30 points, he now faces a competitive challenge from former GOP Lt. Gov. Michelle Fischbach.
Of the 235 Democrats in the House, Peterson is the only one who is pro-life and has an "A" rating from the N.R.A.
"If I hear the words ’common sense gun legislation’ one more time, I’ll throw up," he said last year, according to the Tribune.
