Ilhan Omar Caught In STUNNING Lie About 'Gun Violence,' & It's As Ridiculous As It Gets
Did you know that 500 people die every day from “gun violence?”
Hmm. Did radical Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN) just invent another statistic out of the blue?
IT SURE AS HECK LOOKS LIKE IT!
Her tweet:
Supporting my colleagues’ call on Senate Majority Leader to vote on H.R. 8, 1112 & 1158.
Gun violence is an epidemic.
Every day on average 500 people die from gun violence. How many more lives will we let gun violence claim?

Reactions (and the truth):
Ilhan Omar is lying, again
"Every day on average 500 people die from gun violence" is a blatant lie
On average, there are approximately 30 people killed in the U.S. per day from gun homicides. https://t.co/RaR3Vwz7OG

I wish the left would stop trying to state facts. They never actually check their facts. Plus most gun related deaths are self inflicted.

And how many of the people killed by gun homicides are shot and killed in cities with tough gun laws? (I'm looking at you Chicago.)

Hey Ilhan, how are things going in gun-controlled Chicago?
From ABC News:
At least 10 people were killed and 52 others were wounded in a tragic outburst of Chicago gun violence over the weekend, according to police.
Officers with the Chicago Police Department attributed the shootings to rash of gang-related incidents. Many of the shootings occurred between 6 p.m. and early Saturday morning, police said.

Omar parroted Underwood’s words in a very ugly way.
How many more children must die before we address the atrocities our country is committing at our southern border?

This is beyond the pale, even for Omar.
