Fox News
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., clarified her "unthinkable atrocities" comments at the request of her Democratic colleagues in a Thursday statement.
The "Squad" member added that she was "in no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries with well-established judicial systems." Omar's statement is the latest development in a series of back-and-forth comments between House Democrats that began after a Monday hearing with Blinken. Omar pressed the secretary on his opposition to the International Criminal Court investigating alleged war crimes in both "Palestine and Afghanistan."More Related News
