Like an awful disco song from the 1970s that keeps popping up in elevators, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) stepped back into the spotlight with yet another round of contempt for the nation that lifted her out of danger, offered safety, and opened a path that no other country on earth would've given her.
It's a pattern that keeps increasing in volume, with sharpening bitterness. Omar long ago stopped hiding her hostility behind policy disagreements. A new video circulating on social media captured her disparaging Americans again, and the tone carried a familiar edge of disdain that many people recognize.
“Our country should be more fearful of white men.”

Using the same tired script, Omar's defenders wave away each blast of contempt, claiming she's pushing for reform and that her critics overreact.
All the while, Omar's words keep returning to the same bitter theme: America fails, disappoints, and stands guilty of crimes only she seems able to name.
It didn't take long before people stopped seeing what they had taken for passion and began to see a person who resents the nation she swore to serve.
The Habit She Never Breaks
It's not as if Omar's story isn't powerful: a refugee camp, a flight toward safety, and an arrival in a nation that opened its doors. Generosity from neighbors, teachers, mentors, and entire communities carried her family forward, helping them settle.
There was a time when those stories inspired people. Her success inspired pride as a symbol of American possibility.
But Omar's public remarks keep burying that history under layers of accusation. She once compared American actions to those of brutal regimes. She questioned the motives of allies who stood shoulder to shoulder with our troops.
For me, the bitterest acid came when she reduced the horror of the September 11 terrorist attacks to a vague line that still ticks off thousands of families: "Some people did something."
She also framed American foreign policy as the moral twin of organizations that butcher civilians, using recurring general references because she only has the same thought, rarely highlighting American courage, and rarely giving credit to the country that gave her a fresh start.
Nowhere in her public record does a hint of gratitude appear.
Her Contempt Reveals the Truth
No matter how hard they try, Omar's defenders can't explain away the pattern. Every time she mocks Americans, when she reduces our history to nothing more than a cheap shot, and when she rolls her cold eyes at the very people who pay her salary, the truth keeps coming to the surface.
She sees no value in the nation that took her in, seeing only flaws. She finds fuel for her anger in moments that call for unity, while she continues to lift grievance over gratitude, building a political brand around division rather than hope.
Her attacks don't wound the country; America is bigger than she is and will carry on with or without her approval. Those attacks reveal one significant factor, though: her own character. Omar's rise to station depended on American mercy, her career on American generosity, and her future on American patience.
How does she repay all that's been provided for her? Contempt.
Even casual voters now see the pattern, showing exactly who she is because she leaves nothing to interpretation.

Final Thoughts
When Omar launches into another rant, Americans need to remember who's delivering it. Some leaders climb out of hardship with humility and purpose. In contrast, others often carry a bitterness that colors every word. Omar chose the second road, turning her platform into a megaphone for resentment and directing her anger at a country that doesn't deserve it.
I think the only chance she'll ever have to shock us is if she suddenly praises America. But I have a greater chance of growing a head of hair than ever hearing Omar utter such a thing.
Each outburst is driven by hostility, following a pattern that tells us more about her than anything else.
