Democrat Muslim congressman Ilhan Omar contradicted herself in two tweets and called for defunding the Department of Homeland Security.

But before she did that she raged against the fact that some TSA workers did not yet receive their paychecks from the government shutdown.

Interesting because the Transportation Security Administration is a division of the DHS which, if she has her way, would not be funded.

“This is an outrage. I’m hearing from TSA workers back in Minnesota who STILL haven’t received backpay after the shutdown.

All workers affected by the shutdown—including contractors—deserve backpay!” she said.

But then around an hour later she called for their agency to be defunded.

“When Democrats stood our ground last month, we proved that Individual 1 [President Trump] does not have the public support to ram his hateful wall through Congress. Let’s stand firm: #Not1Dollar for DHS,” she said in her tweet that followed her outrage over the TSA not being paid.

It is curious that any Congressperson would call to defund the agency that keeps Americans protected from terrorism.

But it shows how radical the agenda of young Democrats like Omar and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is.

Many on Twitter were not impressed with her idea, or lack of knowledge on how government works.

An hour prior to this tweet you were outraged that TSA hadn’t received their backpay….Now you say #Not1Dollar for DHS. I’m confused & apparently so are you.

You do realize the DHS funds a LOT more then just ICE right?

Scary times folks… the fox is in the hen house.

DHS is in charge of national security, as in providing security to citizens of the state, the same citizens you work for, were elected by and are supposed to represent.
You now threaten to strip them of this protection because you don’t want to do what the people demand?

They don’t teach civics in Minnesota?

You get the point- she’s getting hammered and rightfully so.

Unbelievable…

God Bless.
