Pence Tries to Dismiss Ilhan Omar on Venezuela, Fails Miserably
Progressive United States lawmaker Ilhan Omar has called out U.S. Vice President Mike Pence's implict racism and sexism for seeking to dismiss her comments in support of the legitimate government of Venezuela without engaging her on the merits of the argument. Omar was quick to point out the arrogance behind Pence's dismissive remarks, saying; “Women of color have heard this before. Instead of 'we disagree,' it's 'she doesn't know what she's talking about.' They have to make us feel small. This from an Administration that thinks climate change is a Chinese hoax.”
