I’m a big Ilhan Omar fan, but I think she’s off-base here. This wasn’t a Breitbart troll trying to snare her in an awkward soundbite. The questioner probably knew of Omar’s voting record and was posing this as an opportunity for Omar to affirm her position on the issue and proactively blunt “radical mozlum” bullshit.

That was a bad answer and this is a bad take.  Tucker Carlson isn’t asking the question in bad faith as a way to discriminate against Muslims.  This is a Muslim activist asking for help from a powerful Muslim lawmaker at a Muslim conference to help a Muslim community where the problem exists.

After hearing that and watching the video released of Tlaib at the Trump campaign stop, I have to say I agree with him and these women are vile and should be voted out. Pressley and AOC too.

Wow, she’s a real ass.

Women who wear hijabs by choice when millions of Muslim women wear coverings without choice is not cool, it makes her an asshole.

Voting on a MN state bill, as a MN state rep, from literally two years ago, isnt neccesarily gonna be widely known outside her home state. She could be a bit more gracious in answering the moderator’s question. A boilerplate statement affirming her common cause would more than suffice. Here, she sounds like she cant

Funny how the person who asked the question,  one of the few women Imams,  who is a human rights activist and progressive,  somehow isn’t woke enough for Splinter and gets treated as if she was a Rush Limbaugh fan. 

So a Muslim activist asking a question relevant to the largest Muslim community in the US to a Muslim Congressional representative at a Muslim conference is now nonsense? I disagree.If there was ever a situation meeting the “correct time and place” criteria, this was it.

yeah, no this is not a good look at all, given that the questioner was a muslim activist asking for support for a cause which she says is an issue in her area.

Omar is possibly the most privileged person in the entirety of Congress, she can say or not say whatever she wants and every media outlet outside of fox news will run what amounts to promotional pieces about her as a result.

She already has a record on FGM, and has done exactly what this reporter was asking her to do on multiple occasions.

Ani Osman-Zonneveld of the human rights group Muslims for Progressive Values asked Omar to condemn female genital mutilation (FGM).

This. They were probably sent with ALL the orders, and it’s only the plus size people who assumed it was an insult directed at them.

the article title itself is doing more damage by not specifying that the bars aren’t even targeted at plus size buyers. Trendy store, trendy diets like keto, not that farfetched.

Click bait trash

I cannot believe people got mad over this. Amazing. Truly amazing.

Its just a pack-in deal with the shipper. I’m getting them with computer parts orders. 

It sounds tiring to have to continually look for something to get angry about in an attempt to make yourself relevant and feed your desired image on social media.

Title seems a little disingenuous. Implies it’s limited to plus size orders, but provided no evidence that such is the case. Kind of a major distinction if only plus size orders are receiving diet bar as opposed to every order.

There’s really no escape from the orange menace.  Are you contractually obligated to shoehorn Trump into every single one of these? Blink once for yes, two for no.
