TIM POOL (HOST): My point is Ilhan Omar looking up at the guy right before he attacks is light, very light circumstantial evidence in that if she knew an attack was coming in her mind, she's like, it's now, not signaling him, but looking at him because she knows something's about to happen. So I think it is interesting. But, again, you know — Apex says, this is the most staged thing I have ever seen in my life. Ilhan Omar, she's a fraud, so it's completely plausible she orchestrated this to — deport Omar.
The funny thing is no one believes her anyway. The right would never believe her. It doesn't matter. And I'm gonna say what I always say, guys. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. And it's funny because these liberals take these statements that I make out of context even though it's a fact statement. The right doesn't care if she did or did not. They're gonna say she did. She's evil. She's a fraudster. Enemy combatant. That's the mindset.
And the left is gonna say, white supremacists far-right. They're attacking us blah blah blah. It's gonna be utilized by either side to justify what they already believe because we are in there's an ideological conflict between the multicultural democracy of America and the constitutional republic of America. Two countries in the same space that cannot coexist.
And, so, all that matters at this point is Ilhan Omar is a bad guy. And to them, the right are evil fascists. That's it. There's a truth here. You know? There's a truth. But for the partisans, it's not going to matter. And, you know, it's actually much simpler. The right don't trust the left. So they're gonna say, I don't believe you. You have lied about everything.
