While the mainstream media obsessed this week over the never-ending spat between U.S. Reps. Lauren Boebert and Ilhan Omar, they failed to note Omar totally snubbed President Biden during his visit to her home state on Tuesday.
Coincidence? We doubt it.
Some in the Minnesota media noted Omar’s absence, others reminded that Omar was one of six Democrats in the squad who voted against Biden’s infrastructure bill, which was the reason for the president’s visit.
Just so there was no mistaking Omar was snubbing the president’s visit, she held an event that competed with the president’s visit.
An itinerary released by the White House says … The president’s motorcade will then travel to the technical college, where President Biden will deliver remarks at approximately 3:30 p.m. He will depart the Twin Cities at approximately 4:45 p.m.
Omar’s virtual town meeting was at 4 p.m.
See? Snub.
We hope the Minnesota media will get back to Omar and ask why she blew off her party’s president, and the $7 billion the bill is dumping on her state.
The legacy media sure as Hell won’t. They’re too busy coddling a political leader who has made her share of hateful, vile and bigoted statements — none of which were intended to be a joke.
