Ilhan Omar on Fixing US Foreign Policy | Working Capital

Minnesota US Representative Ilhan Omar has a lot of "firsts" on her resume: first African refugee to be elected to Congress, first woman of color to represent Minnesota and one of the first two Muslim women in the House.

With the Democratic Party divided over the war in Gaza, Olivia Nuzzi discovers how Omar and her fellow progressive "squad" members can constructively criticize the White House without damaging their party's chances in November's election. (Recorded April 24, 2024)

ah great, the individual who makes excuses for dictators like Maduro is now talking "fixing US foreign policy". What a joke.

[alexanderrose]

This woman needs to be voted out of congress, just like Cori Bush was.

[aptibabayt]

Not sure what's worse, her backing up Hamas or her backing up Maduro.

[ask]

Omar talking about foreign policy is like Weinstein talking about women's rights. This reporter should work for The Onion.

[HermannTheGreat]

Can she fix Somali first instead of telling Americans how to fix their own Country? She did nothing to deserve to be here and has contributed nothing, only taking and causing division. Didn't she marry her brother to find a way to stay in the Country?

[esselsid]

Nowadays i just open this channels videos for the comments

[ajraol]

Glad that the comments section is exposing her for what she is

[maitreytelang]

I love how they've rationalised her rhetoric. Perfect marketing, kudos Bloomberg!

[joanyoon]

I didn't realize how intelligent and compassionate Ilhan Omar is. Congratulations in voting her to be the rep!

[Dropdabrickonyotoes]

This is very sad paid PR. Shame on you Bloomberg!

[GJS]

Hmm, judging by the tone of replies I don't think she's going to have much of an impact on anything.

You can censor what people say but you can't censor what they think.

[MoniqueIZ]

Why not fix Somalia's foreign policy?

[abdikalaqmohamud]

She is our representative and we love her. There is nothing the haters, the maga cult or AIPAC can do about that. We will elect her as long as she speaks for the poor and the voiceless.

[sahilchauhan]

What a joke foreign policy
... experienced in divide and devide...

An excellent interview with a smart thoughtful person ❤❤❤

[МагомедовМагомед-ел]

Омара сильная, обоятельная Американка.
Чистим Американским воспитанием
Эта женщина которая ложиться все усилия в Американской мечте.
🦅

✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿

[Glumclam]

Compared to the mo… Ron’s on the Republican side of the isle this woman is a breath of fresh air.👍

[bluettr]

Oh brother. I mean that’s what she said.

[bars]

America needs more politicians like her who will boldly express the truth. Greetings and love from Türkiye ❤ 🇹🇷

[NotKimiRaikkonen]

People dont talk enough about how she married her own brother.
