Rep. Omar: Republicans Don’t Like Women ‘Fighting Systems of Recession and Sexual Harassment’

EXCERPT:

OMAR: “In this body, we have seen men who are afraid of Muslim women like me and Rashida Tlaib, because we say proudly that you cannot ban us from this country because we pray differently than you. They are afraid of women everywhere, fighting systems of recession and sexual harassment through the #MeToo movement. They are afraid not just of us, but losing their own power. It is no accident that Alex was verbally abused for speaking up for poverty in her district and its relationship to unrest. Because when you push power, power pushes back.”
