Ilhan Omar is facing backlash of epic proportions over this, y’all.
I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end? pic.twitter.com/5696Erwsl5

Ostensibly this moment on a plane was captured on Easter Sunday yesterday, and Ilhan felt personally aggrieved by it because reasons.
Here’s some of the reaction:


And then someone asked a really good question, and the explanation for all of this became a little clearer.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ok. So that makes a lot of sense, actually. Because I’ll be honest, if this were a commercial flight, my reaction to this singing would probably look a lot like the big bald dude’s in the seat near the guitar player. Not because I don’t appreciate the religious expression, mind you, but because I’m one of the most anti-social, nap-taking, in-my-own-world kind of airline passengers ever. Mostly, I want peace and quiet.
And frankly, Kanye’s flight with James Corden did religious singing a whole lot better. Sign me up for this party.
