You have to forgive embattled freshman socialist Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN). She knows not what she does.

During a recent panel at the left-wing Netroots Nation conference, Omar blasted Americans born in America as less patriotic than people like her who were not born in America.

From Free Beacon:

Omar participated in a foreign policy panel at the liberal Netroots Nation conference in Philadelphia when she made her comment. Omar began her remarks by making light of her past anti-Semitic comments and the backlash that has resulted from them.

“It is that I am anti-American because I criticize the United States,” Omar said. “I believe, as an immigrant, I probably love this country more than anyone that is naturally born and because I am ashamed of it continuing to live in its hypocrisy.”

She went on to talk about how people ask her why she can’t be “more like an American,” noting how it “used to be a very positive thing.”

While speaking at an event organized by Black Lives Matter, Omar screeched about America not being the country of “white people.”

Sounds a little racist, no?

She noted, “This is not going to be the country of the xenophobics. This is not going to be the country of white people. This is not going to be the country of the few. This is going to be the country of the many.
