Rep. Ilhan Omar appears to criticize former President Barack Obama in her latest swipe at the Democratic establishment
In an interview published Friday, Politico quoted the Minnesota Democrat as dismissing the"hope and change" promoted by Obama as a"mirage" -- though she wasn't quoted using that word -- and she also criticized Obama for the"caging of kids" and"droning of countries around the world."Omar also told Politico,"We can't be only upset with Trump. ... His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies.
"For many of us, we think of ourselves as Democrats, but many of the ways that our Democratic leaders have conducted themselves within the system is not one that we're all proud of," she said in the clip."I will talk about the family separation or caging of kids and people will point out that this was Trump, I mean, this was Obama," Omar added."And I will say something about the droning of countries around the world and people will say, that was Obama.
