Ilhan Omar Tells Hasan Piker She Is Being Targeted Because She's Good-Looking

By V. Saxena October 27, 2026 at 6:26am

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s documented delusions of grandeur just hit a new all-time high on Monday, when she said one of the most outlandish, ridiculous things ever uttered by a Democrat politician.

Appearing on left-wing radical Hasan Piker’s Twitch show, Omar was asked by the notorious hatemonger why “the media has a tendency… to highlight everything that” left-wingers like them do, according to the New York Post.

“Some of the things that I do, like — we’re just normal Americans trying to go about our day-to-day and trying to organize against the Trump administration in the same way that, you know, white people are doing in general,” he added.

So to hear Piker tell it, the media’s focus on them makes no sense because they are “just normal Americans,” no different from you and I.

Sure thing, pal. I mean, what “normal American” doesn’t support Hamas!?

Obama’s former speechwriter, Jon Favreau, asks Democrat spokesperson Hasan Piker if he actually supports Hamas terrorists.

FAVREAU: “When you say Hamas is a thousand times better, do you actually mean that?”

While the premise of Piker’s question was ridiculous in itself, Omar’s answer managed to be even more spectacularly preposterous.

“We just look really good on their screens,” she claimed.

“You think that’s why they get you?” Piker responded.

“Yes, it is,” Ilhan replied while nodding her head yes. “Maybe a little bit.”

“They’re like, ‘She’s so charismatic,’” Piker continued.

“I think that’s what it is,” Omar replied.

Oh, do you now…

Watch the tension grow between Hasan Piker and Ilhan Omar as they shamelessly flirt with each other as Omar declares she is being targeted because she looks “really good on their screen” and Piker says she’s “charismatic”.

No, my dear Ilhan, that is not the reason that the media — well, let us be honest, some of the media — are so focused on you and your antics.

First of all, Omar is not a supermodel or even a regular model. She is just a Somali lady who the evidence suggests once married her own brother.

Second of all, is she even aware of her own history, or is she suffering from amnesia? Does she know, for example, that she is currently under federal investigation for allegedly committing immigration fraud?

Similarly, does she not know that she over the years has minimized the Sept. 11 terror attacks, bandied about the conspiracy theory that Jewish money controls American policy, accused Israel of hypnotizing the world, and suggested some Jewish members of Congress boast dual loyalties?

The reason that the media and so much of America pay attention to Omar is not because of her looks, but rather because of her documented history of habitually saying and doing stupid, anti-American things, period.

It is also Omar who once equated the tough but fair foreign policies of America and Israel with Hamas and the Taliban.

We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity.

We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.

And it is Omar who has repeatedly falsely accused Israel of committing “genocide.”

Maybe some people think Omar is indeed “good” looking.

But the rest of us recognize that no matter how “good” looking she may be on the outside, she is a hot mess on the inside.

And remember, it’s the inside that counts.
