Ilhan Omar’s staring down the abyss of her political career.
The Minnesota congresswoman skated on a razor’s edge for years.
And Ilhan Omar is about to get kicked out of Congress for one delicious reason.
After the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, Democrat elites are getting fed up with anti-Semitism in their ranks.
The presidents of Harvard, MIT and University of Pennsylvania made fools of themselves in front of Congress when they couldn’t say calling for genocide of the Jews amounted to bullying when they enforce speech codes about misgendering transgenders and preventing minority students from suffering microaggressions.
Interest groups are now targeting the leading anti-Semites in Congress for defeat.
Top on that list is Ilhan Omar.
When Omar entered Congress in 2019 her past anti-Semitic comments about secret cabals of rich Jews pulling the strings on American politics came to light.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi protected Omar by only allowing a resolution condemning anti-Semitism in broad strokes – and not Omar specifically – to come to the floor for a vote.
Omar easily won re-election in 2020 and 2022.
Now Omar is facing a well-funded primary challenge as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee prepares to spend $100 million to defeat pro-Hamas Democrats like Omar and her allies in the “Squad” in primaries next year.
“Close watchers now expect AIPAC to spend at least $100 million in Democratic primaries, largely trained on eliminating incumbent Squad members from their seats. It’s likely that even more money will be spent by affiliated super PACs, including the Democratic Majority for Israel PAC and the Mainstream Democrats PAC, too,” Slate exclusively reported.
Omar is set to face former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels, former Illinois congressional candidate Sarah Gad, and military vet Tim Peterson in her primary.
The last straw with Omar came when Omar stood at the front of the parade of Democrats calling for a ceasefire.
Hamas butchered 1,200 innocent Jews by baking babies alive in ovens, chopping infants’ heads off, raping women, and lighting whole families on fire as they clung to each other in their final moments.
The terrorist group won’t release their remaining female hostages out of fear they will report the medieval horrors Hamas inflicted upon them.
But to Omar, the real issue is the conduct of the Israeli military in trying to wipe out Hamas.
I will never stop demanding a ceasefire. In Gaza, families are being massacred before our eyes while children beg for their lives. Around the world, calls are mounting for Netanyahu to end this brutal bombardment.

Calling for a ceasefire is the pro-Hamas position.
A ceasefire rewards Hamas for slaughtering Jews as it means they avoid justice and remain in power in Gaza.
Omar knows she’s in trouble.
And her campaign is running ads on social media begging for money to fend off her primary challengers.
“Can you rush a donation to Ilhan Omar’s re-election campaign right now, and help us have the resources to fight back against AIPAC and its dark money super PAC that is trying to defeat us?” Omar’s campaign ad read. “They might have the big bucks, but we have each other, and that is how we’re going to win.”
“URGENT! AIPAC and outside money groups are preparing to spend over $100 MILLION to try to unseat progressives in Congress. We’ve seen this before. We’re not going to let them do this again. Can you rush a contribution and help us have the resources to fight back?” a second ad asked in its appeal for money.
