MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow conducted a congratulatory interview with Minnesota Democrat congresswoman Ilhan Omar Monday, asserting Omar’s visible position as the new face of the Democrat Party.
President Trump’s direct Twitter attack on the progressive congresspeople — presumably referring to Omar and her progressive activist cohorts like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib — sparked worldwide controversy. But Trump seemed to realize it was a good play, referring in his press conference to that crew’s low poll numbers. Trump suggested that perhaps those progressives could devote themselves to humanitarian, charitable or political works in failing countries overseas.
