SAD! Democrats Turn Their Backs on Ilhan Omar_ Max Miller Exposes Her Past Remarks in Brutal Hearing

Added: 2026-05-15

[00:00:00]CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.

[00:00:14]Let's take a look at some of the gentle lady's comments.

[00:00:17]In February of 2019, barely more than a month after becoming a member of this body, Representative Omar suggested that the Jewish people and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee were buying political support writing on Twitter, "It's all about the Benjamins, baby."

[00:00:35]Clearly amplifying an anti-Semitic stereotype about the Jewish people and money.

[00:00:41]In response, congressional Democratic leadership, her own party, immediately released a statement by saying, "Anti-Semitism must be called out, confronted, and condemned wherever it is encountered without exception."

[00:00:54]Not long after Representative Omar trivialized the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 by describing that day of infamy as "Some people did something."

[00:01:07]That's horrific. Did you just watch that? Max Miller walked up to that podium, no theatrics, no screaming, and absolutely dismantled Ilhan Omar using nothing but her own words. Her own words. While her Democrat colleagues sat there in silence because what do you even say when the record speaks that clearly? This is the moment they didn't want you to see. A sitting congresswoman on the Foreign Affairs Committee who trivialized 9/11, trafficked in anti-Semitic tropes, and got banned from one of our most critical allies and Democrats kept defending her anyway. The hypocrisy is staggering and Miller just put it all on the table. Hit that like button right now. Subscribe if you're new and stay to the end because I'm breaking down every single moment of this and why it matters far beyond Capitol Hill. Anyone surprised that I am being targeted?

[00:01:59]Is anyone surprised that I am somehow deemed unworthy to speak about American foreign policy?

[00:02:07]Or that they see me as a powerful voice that needs to be silenced?

[00:02:13]Frankly, it is expected. Because when you push power, power pushes back. I didn't come to Congress to be silent. I came to Congress to be their voice. And my leadership and voice will not be diminished if I am not on this committee for one term. My voice will get louder and stronger, and my leadership will be celebrated around the world as it has been.

[00:02:40]>> [applause] >> So, take your vote or not.

[00:02:45]I am here to stay.

[00:02:46]>> Today's resolution as it relates to Representative Omar details six statements she made as a sitting member of Congress that under the totality of the circumstances disqualify her from serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

[00:03:03]>> Some people did something, said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota to support and justify the creation of CAIR.

[00:03:12]Today, I am here to respond to you exactly who did what to whom.

[00:03:19]Madam, objectively speaking, we know who and what was done.

[00:03:26]There is no uncertainty about that.

[00:03:29]Why your confusion?

[00:03:32]On that day, 19 Islamic terrorist members of Al-Qaeda killed over 3,000 people and caused billions of dollars of economic damage. Is that clear?

[00:03:45]But as to whom?

[00:03:47]I was attacked.

[00:03:49]Your relatives and friends were attacked.

[00:03:52]Our constitutional freedoms were attacked.

[00:03:55]And our nation's founding on Judeo-Christian principles were attacked.

[00:04:00]That's what some people did.

[00:04:03]Got that now?

[00:04:06]We are here today, Congresswoman, to tell you and the squad just who did what to whom.

[00:04:13]Show respect in honoring them, please.

[00:04:16]American patriotism in your position demanded it.

[00:04:21]For God and country. Amen.

[00:04:24]Members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs represent the United States abroad and are regarded as credible emissaries of American foreign policy.

[00:04:31]Their words have significant weight in guiding our relations with other countries and are relied upon by world leaders. Most importantly, our allies, such as Israel, the forever home of the Jewish people.

[00:04:43]But what happens when a committee member is no longer viewed as a credible emissary of our foreign policy?

[00:04:49]What if a member is barred from visiting one of our allies because of their prejudiced comments?

[00:04:56]How can members who are unable to engage with our allies in a constructive manner be considered credible members of the committee?

[00:05:04]Well, the gentle lady's discriminatory comments disqualified her from traveling to Israel in 2019.

[00:05:11]Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, would not allow Representative Omar to enter saying, "We respect all political parties in the United States equally. However, we will also respect ourselves. Whoever comes to impose boycotts on us and to deny the legitimacy of the State of Israel, we will not allow them entry." Yes, the gentle lady disqualified herself from entry into one of the most important countries allied with the United States.

[00:05:39]Over the past 75 years, Israel has been a steadfast ally of the United States.

[00:05:44]Israel has stood by us through the volatility in the Middle East, and this alliance has been critical to our own national security.

[00:05:52]How can someone not welcomed by one of our most important allies serve as an emissary of American foreign policy on the Foreign Affairs Committee?

[00:06:01]And given her biased comments against Israel and against the Jewish people, how can she serve as an objective decision-maker on the committee?

[00:06:10]Let's take a look at some of the gentle lady's comments.

[00:06:14]In February of 2019, barely more than a month after becoming a member of this body, Representative Omar suggested that the Jewish people and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee were buying political support, writing on Twitter, "It's all about the Benjamins, baby."

[00:06:32]Clearly amplifying an anti-Semitic stereotype about the Jewish people and money.

[00:06:37]In response, congressional Democratic leadership, her own party, immediately released a statement by saying, "Anti-Semitism must be called out, confronted, and condemned whatever it is encountered without exception." What makes this moment so powerful is how simple it is. Max Miller doesn't raise his voice. He doesn't need to. He just reads the record. And that's important because in politics, people can argue opinions all day, but it's a lot harder to argue with your own words. Now, let's understand what's really going on here.

[00:07:10]Not long after Representative Omar trivialized the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, by describing that day of infamy as "Some people did something."

[00:07:23]That's horrific.

[00:07:25]"Some people did something."

[00:07:27]Yes, Mr. Speaker.

[00:07:29]Some people did do something. Some people committed evil acts of terrorism and killed nearly 3,000 Americans. And in response, some thousands of our fellow citizens, myself included, enlisted in our armed forces to defend the gentle lady's right to make her prejudiced remarks. Many went off to combat and even died to defend that right.

[00:07:51]But they did not die fighting to have their bravery and love of country undermined by a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

[00:07:58]Mr. Speaker, I have no words to describe just how utterly unacceptable these comments are.

[00:08:05]But that's not all.

[00:08:06]In 2021, the gentle lady referred to Israel, which has the absolute right to defend itself against terrorism and attacks on its very existence, as an apartheid state.

[00:08:16]She even equated the United States and Israel, countries that have stood as beacons of democracy, to the Taliban and Hamas, organizations that impose terror on their regions in the world. Once again, even her Democrat colleagues swiftly condemned her comment. 12 Democrat members of this body released a state statement which noted, "Equating the United States and Israel with the Hamas and the Taliban is as offensive as it is misguided. Ignoring the differences between democracies governed by the rule of law and contemptible organizations that engage in terrorism at best discredits one intended argument and at worst reflects deep-seated prejudice from her own party."

[00:08:59]Some have decried this effort as a political game. Mr. Speaker, I assure you this is no political game.

[00:09:06]This resolution is not about engaging in a tit-for-tat with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. This is about keeping someone with a long record of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel bias off the Foreign Affairs Committee, which needs objective emissaries for our foreign policy. Even the Democrat former chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Eliot Engel, said that Representative Omar Representative Omar's anti-Semitic comments have no place in the Foreign Affairs Committee or the House of Representatives.

[00:09:35]That was in addition to the previously mentioned joint statement from 12 of the general ladies Democrat colleagues. The facts are clear. Representative Omar has espoused anti-Semitic and anti-Israel rhetoric time and again. She cannot be an objective contributor to the work of the committee, and she has brought dishonor to the House of Representatives. This body, this committee, which is viewed by nations around the world as speaking for Congress on matters of international importance and national security, should not have a seat for a member who would bring such dishonor to that committee.

[00:10:08]I encourage all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this resolution, to say with one voice that the United States House of Representatives does not condone hate, and to reaffirm we will always condemn anti-Sem Max Miller didn't need to yell.

[00:10:24]He didn't need a gotcha stunt. He just read the record, and the House went silent because the record is devastating. Some people did something.

[00:10:33]That's how Ilhan Omar described the single deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. Nearly 3,000 Americans incinerated, thousands more enlisting to fight and die in response, and she reduced it to some people did something.

[00:10:46]That is not carelessness. That is a worldview. And Miller called it exactly what it is, disqualifying. Then there's the anti-Semitism, and don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking this was a Republican smear campaign because it wasn't. Her own party condemned her.

[00:11:03]Democratic congressional leadership, 12 of her own Democrat colleagues, even the former Democratic chairman of the very committee she sat on, all of them said her comments had no place there. When your own side keeps having to apologize for you, that's not a one-off. That's a pattern. And the Israel ban? That's not talking points. That's reality. The Foreign Affairs Committee is supposed to represent America to the world. If a critical ally bars you from entry because of your own documented statements, you have already failed at the job before you've even started.

[00:11:36]Miller nailed it. That's not political.

[00:11:38]That's a credibility problem with real diplomatic consequences. Democrats want to call this removal a partisan attack, but you cannot call it partisan when Democrats themselves kept condemning her words first. Miller didn't manufacture anything. He just made sure nobody could look away from what was already there.

[00:11:56]That's not politics. That's accountability. And it's long overdue.
