Let’s just say that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) perceptions are more than a bit skewed by her bias.

But her comment this week about U.S. plane sales to the United Arab Emirates was a piece of work, even by Omar standards for ridiculous comments.

It left people both laughing and at the same time sad that anyone so lacking in logic and basic common sense could be in the U.S. Congress.

A single F-35 costs over $100 million. For that kind of money, we could feed 40 million kids.

I've introduced legislation to block the sale of F-35s and other weapons to the UAE, a global human rights abuser. We should be focused on the deadly pandemic, not arming dictators. pic.twitter.com/tUUldnPfIn

“A single F-35 costs over $100 million,” Omar claimed. “For that kind of money, we could feed 40 million kids. I’ve introduced legislation to block the sale of F-35s and other weapons to the UAE, a global human rights abuser. We should be focused on the deadly pandemic, not arming dictators.”

Now there might be a variety of questions one might legitimately ask about such a sale. But this was just painfully dumb. Did you notice the small flaw in her logic? She doesn’t seem to understand that when the U.S. sells planes we get the money. She wants to stop sales of the plane to the UAE, claiming that for that kind of money we could feed 40 million kids. But if she stops the sales, we don’t get the money from the UAE, so then no one would be fed. How does someone not understand that basic concept?

People let her have it on Twitter.

Ok, genius… that is $100 million that UAE is paying. Money that’s flowing INTO the United States. Money that employs people and allows them to feed their own kids. And you want to take that away.

I’m guessing you’re not the first in your family to marry a sibling.

If we stop selling F35s to the UAE as many as 254,000 jobs could be lost. We make money on F35 sales – they don't cost us anything. Finally, the UAE will simply buy the Su-35 and Su-57 from Russia enriching our enemy. https://t.co/gnRlnF4sED

Still can’t get over the sheer stupidity of this tweet.

Does she think the US is giving away $100 million planes for free? Or does she think the UAE will pay the US to feed children in lieu of buying planes? https://t.co/cpfqPrQQ3n

She didn’t mind when Turkey wanted F-35s 🤔

So your logic is that if we stop selling F-35s to the UAE money magically appears so we can feed poor kids? That is not how selling works. https://t.co/dXtywwyMu0

Hi @Ilhan, that isn't an F-35 in your graphic, it's an F-16. pic.twitter.com/iDOtCP4cEu

But of course, it really isn’t about logic. It’s about hatred of Israel. And the UAE has moved up on Omar’s list to hit because they just signed a peace deal with Israel. So it’s that simple. If the plane sale were to Iran or Turkey, we likely wouldn’t hear a peep from her, despite the fact that there’s no question that Iran far surpasses anything UAE has ever done in the “human rights abuse” arena.

It’s perhaps not surprising that while she won her race in a very Democratic area, she underperformed bigly.

The biggest top-of-ticket underperformance by any House incumbent in the country? Rep. Ilhan Omar (D). Results in #MN05:

Biden 328,764 (80%)
Trump 72,323 (18%)

Omar (D) 255,920 (64%)
Johnson (R) 102,878 (26%)

A significant percentage of Democrats that voted for Biden rejected her, which says a lot about rejecting the radical left and likely why the GOP did so well across the board in House races.
