What You Can’t Say About Hijabs and MAGA Hats

RUSH: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, what would happen to me if I said that a hijab triggers me and scares me? I couldn’t say that? Well, why not? I mean, if a “Make America Great Again” hat scares, why can’t a hijab? I guess I can’t.

“Facing a lawsuit after she spread defamatory falsehoods on Twitter,” imagine that: Somebody lying on Twitter, “Rep. Ilhan Omar on Wednesday deleted a tweet without explanation or apology. In her tweet,” the revered and respected “Omar had actually defended the racist, homophobic Black Hebrew Israelites who taunted the Covington Catholic High School students” last weekend. “Omar was wrong about virtually all of that except the bit about the PR firm.

Meanwhile, in other media news, back on Tuesday, Don Lemon — proclaimed by President Trump as the dumbest man on TV in America. Don Lemon decided to attack the Covington Catholic High School chaperones for not teaching the students that “MAGA hats trigger ‘marginalized people.’” On Tuesday night, CNN host Don Lemon “ripped the … chaperones,” the adults at the event over the weekend, for not teaching these little racists that “Make America Great Again baseball caps trigger ‘marginalized people.’”

I don’t think they trigger marginalized people, Don. I think they trigger people like you. I think they trigger your average, ordinary, mainstream media socialist and liberal. See, Don, I don’t think you people have any marginalized people, unless you all are. You all are so far gone, you are so far away from the center that every damn one of you exists out there on the margins. There isn’t a sensible, reasonable one left. “OK. The MAGA hat, the MAGA hat carries a certain connotation that provokes a conditioned reaction from many people.

“Especially from marginalized people,” said Don Lemon. “For example, Pocahontas, right? This was a Native American. Their chaperone should be keenly aware of that. Those kids should know that. And let’s say that the kids didn’t know that because they’re…” What it does Pocahontas got to do with anything? For example, Pocahontas; right? I guess he’s getting… Is he mad at Trump for calling Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas”? Is that what this is? “Those kids should know that. And let’s say that the kids didn’t know that because they are kids.

“Their chaperones should be responsible enough to educate them. After all, they are students.” Let’s say those kids didn’t know that ’cause there’s kids. Their chaperones should be responsible enough to educate ’em. After all, they’re students.” Another CNN host, Fredo Cuomo, “said he did not understand why Covington Catholic allowed their students to wear MAGA hats to D.C. because ‘wearing the MAGA hat would have still been a violation of endorsing a political position.’” Uh, wouldn’t attending the March for Life be seen as “endorsing a political position”?

After you’re showing up in opposition to the March for Life? Wouldn’t that be seen as showing support for and endorsing a political position? Churches are not required to prevent their students from expressing their public political opinions. But, see, that’s another thing that can’t stand. That’s gonna change. We can’t let churches get away with this. We can’t let Catholic Church get away with mining and manufacturing a bunch of little Trump robots out there.
