As a United States Representative, it’s important to have the best interests of our nation at heart. This is also important when making public statements, as the words are viewed by many, 1.2 million followers in fact. When Illhan Omar, a United States Representative, posted publicly negative views of our country, using the same adjectives to describe both America, and the Taliban. This does not represent the people of America, nor does it represent a positive direction of our nations focus and concern.
