Francesca Hong Says Ilhan Omar ‘Deeply Inspires’ Her

EXCERPT:

HONG: "The congresswoman has done a phenomenal job of showing what it looks like to lead with moral conviction and courage. I’m deeply inspired by the fact that the issues that she’s championing for human rights, for childcare, for ensuring paid leave, these are things that Americans care about all across the country. And when people are polarizing not the issues but manufacturing lies about her, I think that it’s important our women and girls and kids all across the country see two strong women of color come together fighting for everyone’s rights, doesn’t matter what your background, your zip code, or what your faith may be."
