Idk. Ilhan Omar is impeccable & I will neither forgive nor forget this vote bc it crossed an inviolable line for me. But escalating now will just give them the attention they want & more than they deserve. I live in ID 02 & Mike Simpson. Trust. It. has. just. begun… 😉

Quit claiming white men are afraid of a black woman. She is a radical anti American.

No Medhi they were not But, Ilhan, AOC, YOU, Bernie etc are ALL way overdue for defending other black men & women, POC & LGBTQ+ politicians who’ve faced same discriminated or worse. In fact NONE OF YOU have defended the atrocious racism Kamala faces every day - some join in
