      Having watched the whole Omar clip, I think this is right. But it’s not really a defense of Omar. This is the woke version of “lol triggered.” She’s *not* explicitly saying “here’s an analogy about why this is bad.” She’s saying “if that’s your model, here’s who to be scared of.” https://twitter.com/dylanmatt/status/1154416267601809411 …

      Grown-ups should be able to handle reductio ad absurdum arguments.

      Perhaps she's exhausted much of her allotment of goodwill.

      You don't have a licence to misconstrue or falsify someones comments just because you don't like them.

      Do you believe this is a statistically sound statement? - “I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country,”

      In terms of terrorism, the FBI would probably agree.

      But let's not limit it to terrorism since that is a wildly exaggerated, statistically insignificant threat overall.

      Sure, but here whole point is that terrorism is "a wildly exaggerated, statistically insignificant threat" which drives far too much public policy.

          It costs many billions to keep that threat down like that, right? We could cut that way down and see what happens.

          I would say trillions rather than billions -- because Global War on Terror is part of policy. I'm not sure if one did a global cost/benefit analysis, it would turn out to be be worth it.

          If she went straight to profiling without being asked about profiling Muslims then I don't think you can say people are purposefully misconsrtuing her because they don't like her.
