Mom Falls For ‘Ilhan Omar Meme’ That Her Child Sent, And People Are Saying It’s The Best Way To Troll Trump Supporters

Political divides seem to have widened since the presidential election, and that divide sometimes comes down through families. Despite growing up in the same household, kids and parents don’t always share the same beliefs on political parties’ actions, and not everyone is shy about making their opinions heard.

Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar has been one of the new politicians who has caused a stir since her election. Whether people love her or hate her, she has remained one of the names in the headlines. U.S. President Donald Trump is not so fond of the congresswoman and recently targeted Omar on her American citizenship status, religion, and ethnicity. Someone decided to challenge their mom’s political alignment by trolling her with a political meme featuring a quote believed to be from Congresswoman Omar, and it teaches a much bigger lesson.

President Trump has falsely alleged that congresswoman Omar supported terrorist group al-Qaeda; said she “smeared” US servicemen who fought in Somalia in the 1990s; and contributed to disinformation that she committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother. At a Trump rally in North Carolina earlier this month, his supporters erupted into cries of “send her back,” perpetuating the idea that she is less of an American citizen because she was not born in the country. In response to the smear campaign, Omar has continues to receive ardent support from both her district members and otherwise.

Many Americans say the creation and spread of fake news and misinformation are causing significant harm to the nation and need to be stopped, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of 6,127 U.S. adults. Nearly seven in ten U.S. adults (68%) say false news and information significantly impacts Americans’ confidence in government institutions, and roughly half (54%) say it significantly impacts our belief in each other. The free singles out two groups of people as the primary sources of false news: political leaders and activist groups. Close to six-in-ten U.S. adults (57%) say political leaders and their staff create many false stories, and about half (53%) say the same about activist groups.

though you all now got Boris Johnson, who is like a more British Trump. In fairness he was only elected by Tories not the citizenry ( though Trump lost the popular vote too). Hope you all can get him out quick

No argument here either. Trump has fired up every idiot who thinks hate and ignorance are virtues.

People pull this trick on both sides. The whole point isn't to trick, its to expose people for NOT doing their due diligence and researching for themselves to find the facts and then come to a stance based on personal research and learning. Too many people on both sides blindly follow. I use to be that way too until some things didnt add up. I researched and many of the studies, findings, historical accounts actually changed my stance on who I supported. My morals and values have always been consistent but what I thought was reality was changed based on the facts. Everyone should do this to be able to say their support aligns with their morals and ethical values.

Duh Alpha Puck, if you go back far enough there were only bacteria churning in the primordial sea, but at some point it becomes ridiculous to take the point to its farthest extreme. Plus "human life" as you say had its beginnings in the Great Rift area of Africa where hominids evolved from the great apes, it was agriculture that began between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Or is that "liberal vomit." Maybe it is you who should do some knowledging up, your attempts to sound erudite are sad not to mention inaccurate. The only thing you seem to be good at is labeling (wait don't liberals do that?) and hating. Sad sad sad. Read a book.

@Jodie Johnson Unless Native Americans sprouted from the ground here... then they are immigrants too. Its unanimous among historians that human life began in the Mesopotamian area. So stop regurgitating the same liberal vomit and learn some history.
