Shortly after the Justice Department did the right thing in announcing it would drop its case against former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn on Thursday, along came one of the dumbest members of Congress to criticize the decision.

In a tweet, “Squad” member Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) claimed that Flynn was exonerated because of skin color.

“White privilege at work,” she wrote.

This blatant racist followed that up with another tweet suggesting that masses of “black and Latino men” are purposefully, and wrongly, imprisoned but because of their skin tone they are somehow denied fair treatment.

“Millions of people—mostly black and Latino men—spend years in jail trying to prove their innocence. Some die in jail. Michael Flynn was exonerated for crimes *he admitted to* with the blink of an eye,” she wrote.

Of course, it doesn’t matter to Omar that the evidence clearly shows that Flynn was set up by rogue FBI agents working on behalf of a corrupted Justice Department and corrupt president — Barack Obama. And it doesn’t matter to her that Mike Flynn copped a plea in order to save his son from being similarly targeted by those same rogue agents.

And speaking of Obama, it doesn’t seem to bother Omar that a president weaponized federal agencies and turned them loose on a rival campaign, or that the FBI and DoJ terrorized U.S. citizens including Flynn, Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and Roger Stone, among others.

Because she’s a blatant partisan, however, none of these things matter.

But can you just imagine her outcry if President Trump or another GOP leader had similarly targeted a Democratic presidential contender? We’d never hear the end of it.

That said, Omar’s reference to Flynn’s skin color isn’t just gross and inappropriate, it’s outrageous.

Flynn gave more years of service to this country than Omar’s been alive. He rose to the rank of lieutenant general in the United States Army. He once led the Defense Intelligence Agency, and were it not for his opposition to a monumentally stupid ‘nuclear deal’ with Iran, he would have continued to serve in that role.

But Obama forced him out and then had him targeted when Flynn joined the Trump campaign.

In short, Michael Flynn is a leader, a patriot, and a decent human being. To Omar and her Democratic socialist pals, though, he’s cannon fodder to be disposed of because he ‘backs’ the ‘wrong’ political party and president.

No American should ever be subjected to the kind of treatment and harassment Mike Flynn and other Trump associates have had to endure.

In fact, that kind of treatment by an authoritarian government is more inherent in countries like Somalia, where Omar came from.

Hopefully, for her sake, she’ll never have to see what it’s like to be on the receiving end of real injustice.
