Democrat Ilhan Omar Lashes Out At Israel’s President Coming To Congress

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) lashed out on Wednesday when she learned that Israel’s president will deliver a speech next week to the U.S. Congress.

The Messenger asked Omar about the President Isaac Herzog’s upcoming speech on July 19th – to which she first expressed outrage before admitting that she had no idea he was even coming.

Omar said that there was “no way in hell” that she would attend the speech, adding: “I didn’t even know he was coming.”

Omar, who has a long history of spewing anti-Semitic hate, generated pushback across the political spectrum over her remarks.

“She didn’t know until the reporter asked but had that strong of feelings about it?” tweeted News Nation reporter Zaid Jilani. “Herzog is more of a figurehead in the country, the president is not part of day to day governance like the PM, I don’t think most critics of Israel even have a strong feeling about him.”

Rabbi Yaakov Menken tweeted, “She will not be missed. In fact she should make it a habit. The best possible contribution she could make for American values, tolerance, and decency, is to permanently stay home. Why do Democrats persist in harboring this racist in their midst?”

Omar’s anti-Semitism has become so problematic that the House of Representatives voted to remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Of the 222 Republicans in the House, 218 voted to remove Omar, while three did not vote and one, Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH), voted “present.”

Speaker McCarthy outlined many of the inflammatory and bigoted remarks that Omar has made, including the use of anti-Semitic tropes, comparing the U.S. Military to Islamic terrorist organizations, describing the events of 9/11 as “some people did something,” among numerous other statements. McCarthy also noted that Omar has “never apologized” for many of her remarks.

‘Sound Of Freedom’ Dominates Box Office In Florida, Texas And Arizona

Sound of Freedom” has been dominating box offices in places like Florida and Texas its first weekend out after taking the number one spot across the country on its release day July 4.

The film — which deals with the horrors of human trafficking — has done incredibly well in the middle of the country and the southern portion of the United- States, becoming number one movie over the July 7-9 weekend at multiplexes in Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Phoenix, and Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, and Salt Lake City, according to Comscore data.

It ended up beating Disney’s highly-anticipated Harrison Ford sequel “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” along with “Insidious: Red Door” its opening weekend in these places, the outlet noted.

The Jim Caviezel-lead film has earned — over its 8 days run — a total of more than $45 million at the domestic box office, according to Box Office Mojo. It also earned a coveted A+ CinemaScore, which generally guarantees strong word of mouth, THR noted.

“Sound of Freedom” comes from AngelStudios movie — the same company responsible for the popular faith-based television series, “The Chosen.”

Angel Studios CEO Neal Harmon said in a statement that their movie has taken on a “life of its own.”

“We're getting messages from all over the country telling us about packed theaters, sold-out theaters, and spontaneous standing ovations for the film in numerous locations. Seeing this film has become a must thanks to incredible word-of-mouth…”

“This movie has now taken on a life of its own to become something more than that, a grassroots movement,” Harmon said. “The world needs to see ‘Sound of Freedom’ and we know that our biggest competitive advantage — our incredible fans and investors — are going to make sure that happens.”

Following the film’s success over the weekend, the “Passion of the Christ” star shared a video with followers thanking them for “not letting the media silence” this movie.

“I’ve always said do you want to be liked by many, the world, Hollywood, or do you want to be loved by one, which is God,” Caviezel said in the clip. “Because love don’t come from man it comes from above.”

“So, I’m sitting here thinking about all you amazing Americans that are fighting the battle and helping us in this war against the greatest evil that has ever been,” he added. “Because you know that God’s children are not for sale.”

In the movie, Caviezel portrays Tim Ballard in the true story of a federal agent who quits his job and embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue a young girl from sex slavery in South America.
