Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.

“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”

    I was under the impression that refusing to do the right thing because you’re scared of the consequences was the definition of cowardice.

            Wow… you managed to get them to leave you alone with just saying this twice? I’m going to have to use this.

              Yes, the ad hominem attack has been famous for its effectiveness since Ancient Greece. The key is to start by engaging with a comment you disagree with using logic. But when you run out of reasoned responses and they think they’ve cornered you, call them a name or insult their mother. 99% of the time it works every time.
