You're still making a bigger deal about her abstaining than about the 11 that actually stood up and denied the genocide.Originally Posted by Khaza-R
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the record:
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/116-2019/h591
These are the 11 "Nay" voters
Rogers, Mike
Baird, James
Brooks, Susan
Pence, Greg
Bucshon, Larry
Harris, Andy
Foxx, Virginia
Meadows, Mark
Cole, Tom
Brady, Kevin
Thornberry, Mac
I, for one, am far more interested in how these 11 justify their votes than I am in Omar not casting one.

Mostly just because they actually named their show after this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Turks Originally Posted by Orbitus

Its like if you named your news group Hitler jugend.
Whether that group would then "acknowlege" genocide/the holocaust or not doesnt really matter;
I find that its still highly amusing either way.

You can say all kinds of things that are wrong, if being wrong is a point of pride for you. Originally Posted by NED funded

Since she obviously isn't, no. We can't. Not without lying, at least. Originally Posted by NED funded

I assume they're worried about appearances with specific people, but it's at the cost of their reputation with everyone else. I'm not in their shoes, but I don't think it may have been worth it. Then again, this may be swept under the rug and forgotten. Originally Posted by zenkai

Why are we mad at Turkey again? Because idiotic lawmakers in Washington like to pretend the SDF and PKK are two different things?

This fixation on Omar is fuckin weird, yo. Fox ran the same narrative in their story that also conveniently forgot to mention that others voted present, against, or not at all.

If we want to play this game I believe Cenk Uygur still considered him a Republican when he made the statements. 1991 and 99 he wrote opinion pieces not recognizing the genocide. He didn't leave the Republican party around the 2000's. Originally Posted by Orbitus

Now does him being a conservative when he stated about the Armenian Genocide a slant on Repulbicans? Likely not but as I said, it seems attack more on Liberals and Progressives who bring this up.Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

This isn't remotely the first time people have straight-up lied about Omar's explicitly stated position in a bullshit attempt at a "gotcha" moment. See also the claims that she's "anti-semitic", for instance. Originally Posted by Lemonpartyfan
