In a rare moment of brutal honesty that her party will surely regret, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has publicly admitted that Democrats are solely responsible for the Department of Homeland Security shutdown – even as terror threats against Americans are spiking to dangerous levels.
Speaking at a town hall event Tuesday, the Squad member let the mask slip when she confessed that her own party has been holding America's security apparatus hostage for political gain. "Democrats said we are not going to pass the appropriations for DHS," Omar admitted, acknowledging what conservatives have been saying all along – this shutdown is 100% on the Democrats.
But here's the truly infuriating part: Omar made this admission while simultaneously warning that Americans are under a heightened terror alert. Think about that for a moment, Patriots. She's literally admitting her party is blocking funding for the very agency tasked with protecting us from terrorists – while knowing the threat level is "higher than usual."
Social Media Explodes Over Omar's Confession
Conservative voices on social media immediately seized on Omar's stunning admission. "Rep. Ilhan Omar openly admits Democrats are holding the Department of Homeland Security hostage — even as the terror threat against Americans is spiking," posted @eclipsethis2003, highlighting how Omar confessed Democrats blocked DHS appropriations.
Another user, @ObserverSalem, summed up the outrageous situation perfectly: "Ilhan Omar admits Democrats responsible for DHS shutdown, says terror threat is 'higher than usual'."
@BrandonHall1977 called it like it is: "OMAR ADMITS DEMS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHUTDOWN Rep. Ilhan Omar admits Democrats blocked DHS funding, leading to a partial shutdown, citing demands for immigration enforcement reforms as the reason for the impasse."
"They don't have the resources to pay for TSA," Omar admitted, revealing how Democrats are literally compromising airport security for their political games.
This is exactly what President Trump warned about when he called for securing our borders and properly funding our national security apparatus. While Trump fights to protect America with his mass deportation agenda and border wall completion, Democrats are literally defunding the agencies meant to keep us safe.
How can any American trust the Democrat Party with national security when they're willing to hold DHS hostage while terrorists plot against us? This isn't politics as usual – this is putting American lives at risk for partisan power games.
