IlhanOmar thinks Americans are laughable for their fear of AlQaeda while simultaneously comparing terrorists to our U.S Military. Great job SpeakerPelosi putting her on a Foreign Affairs Committee. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wow, right on top of things I see.

Just terrible. Likely sponsored by Global DS to clog the media lines due to Mueller report. We knew to expect these false flag events. It also drives a wedge between Christians & Muslims. Expect more, especially when the IG report breaks. US & UK DS are going down with DNC 🇺🇸

What kind of terrorist groups?

They're muslims. Call them what they are.

Gotta love when people believing in a particular fairy tale, gives them the justification to kill. Religion is so great!

All these terrorists have one thinking in common ! One realization ! They all commit acts terriny with all having the same outcome ! Nothing, taking innocent lives can someone tell them life will always continue to go on.

Yap

Radical Islamist did this attack.

Sri Lanka torn our heart out.

Why don't they say Muslim terrorists groups.

This terrorists attack would have been happening in this USA if that Hillary won, because she will give free visa to all these terrorists

Why Sri Lanka? I thought that the White House is the most dangerous

Wait for Ilham Omar to tell you that president Trump is racist because of this news, then CNN and democrats will support her
