It’s Happening: Democrats Begin Rejecting, Refunding Donations from Ilhan Omar

Trouble in liberal paradise, eh?

Even though Rep. Ilhan Omar has support from some of the most immature and loud members of Congress *cough Rashida Tliab and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cough cough*, there are a number of Democrats who are unsettled by her ongoing history of anti-Semitic remarks. They may not be speaking out publicly, but things are going down behind the scenes.

According to this, the re-election campaign for Rep. Lucy McBath is rejecting thousands of dollars in donations from Omar.

The Free Beacon first reported the $2,000 contribution given by Omar to McBath, whose campaign oddly left the contribution off its quarterly fundraising report. Pressed on the reason for its absence on Tuesday, the McBath campaign said only, “Our report is accurate,” and declined to provide further details.

McBath’s campaign admitted on Wednesday, however, that the lack of disclosure was due to a decision to reject the money from Omar, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Oh SNAP.The donation wasn’t accepted. But here’s the thing– they shouldn’t have acted so shady over it. If you stand against what she’s said, be proud and bold. Don’t try to beat around the bush to avoid hurting her feelings.

Omar, who raised over $800,000 in her first quarter fundraising as a member of Congress, also gave money to three other colleagues. Two of them, Reps. Lauren Underwood (D., Ill.) and Haley Stevens (D., Mich.), accepted the money and reported the contributions.

The third, Rep. Jahana Hayes (D., Conn.), did not disclose the contribution, but her campaign told the Free Beacon  there was “absolutely not” an effort to hide it and it will be disclosed on next quarter’s report. A spokeswoman for Hayes said on Wednesday the campaign never considered rejecting Omar’s contribution.

We should note that McBath did accept a $2,000 donation from Omar in October. However, she’s refusing to elaborate on her current decision to reject the latest donation.

For crying out loud. Boldly stand for something, you spineless weenies.
