    Attacking a brown-skinned immigrant like @Ilhan as "ungrateful" because she criticizes American policy is just one small step shy of the blatantly racist "go back to where you came from" trope used by Trump. Saying you "love her story" doesn't change that.https://twitter.com/AlietaEck/status/1150901352811442177 …

    Those of us who love America wonder how @Ilhan Omar can have escaped from Somalia and never sound grateful that America gave her such amazing opportunities. We love her story but hate her anger and anti-Semitism. We are not racist @Ayaan @realDonaldTrump @RepBonnie @CoryBooker

        In this context, "ungrateful" is another word for "uppity."

        No surprise that people of color get disparate care when there are doctors who think like this.

        What in the world do you mean? Check out our non-gov't free clinic, the Zarephath Health Center in central NJ, where we care for people of all races, immigration statuses, and creeds. And we see Medicaid patients who cannot find a doctor-- at no cost to the patients or taxpayers.

        They should notify her Black and POC patients so they can get the hell out of that office.

        I am not "attacking" @Ilhan, just wishing she would express love for this amazing country that has allowed her to spout such angry rhetoric. Let's hear her speak about the atrocities that were occurring in Somalia, the country her family fled. America is not that bad.

        Nonsense. You're attacking @ilhan for not being "grateful enough" to America for your liking. It's a time-dishonored tactic going back at least 120 years that nativists used to shut up "uppity" immigrants.

        She can't be that dense? Can she? If I don't care about something, including my own body, I won't do anything to get BETTER or take care of it. However, when someone loves themselves, their country, etc they will want to take care of it, improve it, MAKE IT BETTER!

        Gross, she’s a female “libertarian” who is also in favor of controlling women’s bodies.

        President loves Ilhan and AOC. They are his re-election ticket. Fox talks more about those 2 than all other Dems combined. They are both dearly loved as a source of quotable material.
