BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is asked on CNN if she will vote for President Joe Biden despite her criticisms of him and having not voted for him in the primary.
Omar didn't mince her words: "Of course. Democracy is on the line. We are facing down fascism."
"And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country and I know what it felt like for my constituents and for people around this country and around the world," she went on.
"We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again," said Omar.
"And do you think your constituents ultimately will come to the same conclusion that you did?" asked CNN's Abby Phillip. "You know, the tens of thousands who voted uncommitted as a protest against the president?"
"Well the uncommitteds have been very clear," said Omar. "They want a change in policy and we've seen that. Within three days you had the vice president using the word ceasefire. We now have the president saying there is a red line if Israel goes into Rafah that he is going to condition aid."
"So there has been a significant progress," she went on. "I think it is the responsibility of every citizen of this country that cares for the humanity of all to continue to push this administration to do what it can do to end the onslaught that Palestinians are living through every single day."
Congresswoman Omar is absolutely right. It's time for all of us to unite behind President Biden to defeat MAGA fascism. If Donald Trump wins in November, American democracy as we know it is over.
