Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has led a group of U.S. lawmakers in sending a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, urging the U.S. State Department to review its relationship with El Salvador and to restrict security assistance and other support for the Salvadoran police and military amidst concerns of rising repression and political persecution. The letter emphasizes the importance of free and fair elections for the Salvadoran people and responds to the perceived democratic backsliding in the country.
Omar, who openly supports Hamas, wants you to know she’s very concerned about democracy in El Salvador, where the president was democratically elected and is incredibly popular. https://t.co/5421aO1r6w
Rep. Ilhan Omar supports terrorists and criminals, confirmed. She has stated primary loyalty to a foreign nation, Somalia. She cozies up to pro-Hamas orgs. Now she's calling El Salvador's president a "threat to democracy" despite his laudable anti-crime efforts. She has to go. https://t.co/pambyzwtOq
Ilhan Omar attacking Nayib Bukele because he proved that crime and national decline are not inevitable, but a deliberate choice being allowed by poor leaders and terrible policies… Under his leadership, El Salvador’s murder rate has fallen 93% and he has a 91% approval rating! https://t.co/6um21gsmTJ

Nayibe Bukele is a force for good. His actions prove this. This is a very telling move by Ilhan Omar. @IlhanMN you’be made a big mistake condemning such an amazing leader as Bukele. I recommend you retract your statement. Good job to @nayibbukele keep up the great work!… https://t.co/unU8YNT7Lb
