Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) made a jaw dropping declaration about the United States during a conference hosted by Netroots Nation.
“I believe, as an immigrant, I probably love this country more than anyone that is naturally born and because I am ashamed of it continuing to live in its hypocrisy.”
She also explained what she tells people who wonder why she can’t be “more like an American.”
“We export American exceptionalism, the great America, the land of liberty and justice. If you ask anybody walking on the side of the street somewhere in the middle of the world they will tell you, ‘America the great,’ but we don’t live those values here. That hypocrisy is one that I am bothered by. I want America the great to be America the great.
