MS NOW was almost inconsolable on Monday morning as Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) — a division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — conducted a Columbus Day raid on far-left, Somali-born Congressman Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a massive escalation following years of reports of alleged behavior that made a mockery of our immigration system.
MS NOW analysts and liberal journalists admitted there needed to be caution in jumping to conclusions, but they did so anyway in bemoaning the “very, very intrusive search” of this “critic of President Trump,” who’s been “demonized” for being Somali and the subject of “conspiracies” and “long-standing controversy…simmering in right-wing media and conservative circles.”
Sadly, Stephanie Ruhle was off, so Erielle Reshef filled in on Money, Power, Politics and opened the first hour with the solemn news about the Omar raid. Going first to far-left crank Susan Glasser of The New Yorker, Reshef had to emphasize “Omar, of course, has been a prominent critic of Donald Trump,” so she’s naturally been subjected to “a criminal investigation.”
This dismissal of any possibility she did anything wrong was a constant theme throughout their coverage.
Glasser did throw in the qualifier that “we’ll have to wait and see more information as it emerges,” but promptly did the opposite by casting aspersions. Glasser whined: “Trump has consistently demonized both Omar and the community of Somali immigrants in which she comes from.”
