Rep. Ilhan Omar, faced backlash for a comment she made after Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa was charged in the Boulder, Colorado mass shooting.
Prominent liberals jumped to conclusions about the race of the Boulder shooter. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, a 21-year-old man of Syrian descent, was charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder. She also claimed that narratives around the heinous acts are what "drive" people’s responses "to awful crimes." "The shooter's race or ethnicity seems front and center when they aren’t white," wrote the Minnesota Democrat. "Otherwise, it’s just a mentally ill young man having a bad day."More Related News
