When a Democrat is President again, I think Rep. Ilhan Omar should be in a Cabinet-level position

The Secretary-position it is, that should be up for debate... maybe Homeland Security or Health and Human Services.

1. She lacks discipline...

Let's see if she lasts and if she can tighten up her shot group.

2. AKA "She doesn't play by the rules the fascists in the White House want us to play by"

[Baconator]

3. No... I meant exactly what I said...

Whatever validity her message may have had was overshadowed by how it was delivered.

She lacks discipline and I suspect she'll shoot herself in the foot a few more times before getting wise (if ever).

4. What message is that?

There is a concerted effort to get rid of Omar, AOC, and another freshman Congresswoman whose name escapes me. How did she shoot herself in the foot? By allowing Republicans to cut a snippet out of a speech she gave and then mischaracterizing the point she was making about 9/11? Be more specific about how she delivers her messages that is unacceptable.

What does she need to do to get wise? The wise man realizes how ignorant he is.

8. Don't lump her in with AOC...

... who has done a much better job of projecting her ideas effectively.

That's why she drives the right so insane where Omar has, up to this point at least, been a gift to the right.

9. Ding ding

She doesn't play by their rules - she dares to speak truth

[nycbos]

5. Hell no

[Amishman]

6. No, just no

Her gaffes are damaging enough coming from her current position.

I appreciate the challenges she has overcome to get to.where she is, and that is inspiring. That being said she really really needs to learn to be more aware of how her comments can come across. Like Alexandria, she needs some time to develop her political instincts.

[Tipperary]

7. Never happen.

[USALiberal]

10. Nope! Nt

[NewJeffCT]

11. I highly doubt she'd be appointed to any position

that needs senate approval - the GOP would go apeshit and more moderate Democrats like Manchin and Sinema may end up joining them because the GOP can drive the news cycle much more effectively than Democrats

[bearsfootball516]

12. No way.

[Codeine]

13. Why?

Has she demonstrated a particularly impressive level of insight or competence that would bring a freshman representative to the fore? If so, I haven’t noticed it.
