"We export American exceptionalism, the great America, the land of liberty and justice. If you ask anybody walking on the side of the street somewhere in the middle of the world they will tell you, ‘America the great,' but we don't live those values here. That hypocrisy is one that I am bothered by. I want America the great to be America the great.
-- Ihan Omar
Over the weekend Omar tried to explain her patriotism angle, and centered on the thought that America was previously 'great', and she'd like to return it to the status of 'great'.
Amusingly enough, she's basically uttering the Trump phrase.....Make America Great Again.
How would she achieve this status? Unknown. She left that part out of the discussion.
In professional wrestling, at the key point of really 'BAD' status, the tough evil wrestler will undergo some conversion situation, and suddenly appear in public as the 'GOOD' wrestler. Perhaps in this case, Omar has been given the script, and will suddenly appear as a Trump-supporter, and shock everyone.
