Today, Ilhan Omar is the featured speaker at a Seattle Ramadan fundraiser w/CAIR, an org the United Arab Emirates accuses of being a terrorist entity. The group is also an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land terror funding case. Apparently there is a protest planned. 
Protesters demonstrate against Ilhan Omar in Seattle.
Pro-Ilhan Omar socialist counter-protesters repeat chant against neo-Nazis. One of them started blocking me with her sign after she found out I wasn’t with a pre-approved media outlet.
A street preacher went over to the pro-Ilhan Omar side & they began to scream & shove him out. @BvuePD immediately intervened to shut down the escalation. What a difference compared to @PortlandPolice.
Jewish woman explains why she’s protesting Ilhan Omar: “I know what anti-Semitism is.”
Queer Jewish man says he was called a “Nazi” by pro-Ilhan Omar protesters:
“I ain’t backing down.” Asian-American man wearing MAGA hat responds to counter-demonstrators calling him racist at the Ilhan Omar protest.
"We've seen this kind of rhetoric before in the 1930s & it led to a lot of horrific things." A woman explains why she is protesting Ilhan Omar's CAIR fundraiser in Bellevue, Wash.
You can watch my full vid from yesterday's protest/counter-protest outside Ilhan Omar's CAIR fundraiser. Unfortunately I was unable to interview anyone from the pro-Omar side. They treated me w/hostility & physically blocked me when I attempted to go near.
