In a recent encounter on Capitol Hill, Rep. Ilhan Omar declined to answer questions from Fox News correspondent Hillary Vaughn about Israel’s response to recent attacks by Hamas.
Many have taken issue with Omar and several of her Democratic colleagues for urging Israel to exercise restraint, particularly as Israel contemplates a ground invasion into Gaza to target Hamas militants.
Vaughn confronted Rep. Omar on Friday, seeking her perspective on the ongoing military conflict and Israel’s potential response.
“Congresswoman, you have called for a cease-fire — are you okay with Hamas terrorists continuing to exist?” Vaughn asked.
“Do you think that Israel should just lay down their arms and not try to get the hostages out of Gaza?” she added. “How can Israel have a cease-fire with terrorists whose entire mission is to wipe out their existence?”
The exchange became notably tense when Vaughn positioned herself at the entrance of an elevator, preventing its doors from closing, in an attempt to elicit a response from Omar. After being requested to step aside by Omar’s staff, the congresswoman remarked, “Ignore this crazy lady, don’t worry about her,” as Vaughn moved away.
WATCH: Rabid anti-Semite Ilhan Omar says it’s “scary” to serve with lawmakers who forcefully condemn Islamic terrorism and the far left’s call for a ceasefire in Israel.
She says a ceasefire is “the most simplest thing.”
WATCH: Democrat antisemite Ilhan Omar freaks out when a reporter asks why Israel shouldn’t have a right to defend itself against the terrorists who brutally tortured and killed so many innocent children, women, and men.

why is still in office now to say more things like that i mean cmon who are we kidding ourselves
Looks like she about to have a nervous breakdown, more than anything else she needs the phsycatric ward ASAP before she harms herself.
It might be relevant to not take moral and ethical advice from a woman who had an extramarital affair, and despite that for some reason still wears religious garb.
What matters is whether the pro-Hamas members of Congress will be expelled from the Democratic caucus, since if not, it means that advocacy of killing Jews has become an acceptable position in the Democratic party.
SHE WASNT SO FRANTIC WHEN SHE HERD OF THE SLAUGHTER OF ISRAELIS
Say, why not just ask her about the ongoing war with Russia and Ukraine… should Ukraine just call for a cease fire? Why all the negativity with Israel response just ask them if they have the same perspective with Ukraine holding restraint! Because they’re all the same anti Semitic wolves…
Sorry Omar…. no Ceasefire. They’ll be a ceasefire when the job is done. Have a great day.
I would be most comfortable if people like ilhan omar ceased to exist. It would be a great benefit for the USA.
