Are you kidding? Did you think "meltdown" referred to apologising?So she didn't support the contras?"Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar is again inviting questions over the political company she keeps.
Omar traveled as a delegate with the left-wing Witness for Peace group. The group was formed to oppose President Ronald Reagan’s anti-communist policies in Central America.
Since then, it has built relations with Cuba’s communists and stood in solidarity with Venezuela’s economic chaos, opining that “Venezuela is not alone” and defending the country’s “legitimate” president. The group also seeks to remove the United States from Guantanamo Bay while one of its board members has called for the “eradication of Israel”
A quick perusal of the Witness for Peace website reveals an organization that remains firmly rooted in the Cold War — on the Soviet Union’s side.
She recently accused the American Israel Public Affairs Committee of buying support for Israel from members of Congress.
She is also scheduled to fundraise for the pro-Hamas group Council for American-Islamic Relations in March.
Omar also pleaded for leniency for individuals who were caught joining ISIS.
Omar has been publicly rebuked by fellow Democrats and Democrat Pary leaders, as well ,for her anti-Semitic comments and actions.
This latest revelation, however, may cost her the spot she holds on the Foreign Relations Committee:
“After traveling to Honduras as part of the Witness for Peace delegation, I’ve returned home with a heavy heart and deep concern for the electoral process and human rights crisis the people of Honduras are enduring,” Omar tweeted in 2017. The latest revelation might affect Omar’s membership on the House Foreign Affairs Committee."

How horrible!
Not.
BTW, I notice that it's not her that is melting down, it's you.
She had to give a fake apology to save her skin the OP did not.
Atleast try to be honest and use facts...its so hard for you people
It doesn't. A meltdown is what the OP is having over a Muslim being in congress.
Yeah she had to apologize...she got publicly whacked, and even though she didnt mean her apology, she HAD to do it.....
