'Disgrace': GOP congressman blasts Ilhan Omar for claiming PTSD over Iran

GOP Rep. Jim Banks attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar after she said she's "stricken with PTSD" regarding the recent tension between the United States and Iran.

Omar, who was a refugee from Somalia, has been critical of President Trump's decision to target top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani last Thursday. Iran retaliated by attacking at least two U.S. air bases with more than a dozen ballistic missiles on Tuesday night, but there were no casualties. Trump announced that he would seek additional sanctions but did not plan to retaliate for the ballistic missiles earlier on Wednesday.

The Minnesota Democrat condemned the president's announcement of additional sanctions, labeling them "economic warfare."

She shouldn't be upset, just because "Some People Did something".

Imagine thinking only soldiers can get PTSD...

This is what our politics have come to. Idiots like Jim Banks with knee jerk reactions throwing shallow uninformed insults that do nothing but further the political divide, only so they can try to score a few points. Do you people see that this nonsense is doing nothing but leading to worse and worse policy decisions and poor political leadership?

"Omar, who was a refugee from Somalia"

Let that sink in! Why the Hell does this country allow a non-Natural Born Citizen who refuses to assimilate get elected to office much less Congress. It's time to rethink our laws! If you have to be a natural-born citizen to be President then you should have to be a natural-born citizen to hold any elected office.

Andy Harris, are you paying attention?

1:40PM, I do see your point somewhat but what concerns me is the possibility that under pressure our elected reps (need to shine to keep this nation safe)must be at their best.Sounds as if she should reconsider completing her term.
