Ah, the long, glorious of days of summer: when the drink menus are filled with rosé, the racists are furious and sunburned, and our favorite freshman congresswomen have officially run out of patience for white nonsense. On this past Tuesday afternoon, the Congresswomen in question included Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who—despite all prior evidence showing they are not the ones to be tried—yet again found themselves in the position of having to clapback at the most boorish and belligerent of what America has to offer.
Let’s start with Rep. Pressley, who has been trying to direct public attention to the humanitarian crisis at the border, despite a large swath of Beltway media Birdman-rubbing their hands over what they consider a far worthier story: who is Nancy Pelosi subbing today?
On Tuesday, Kellyanne Conway, ever the opportunist, leaped at the slightest whiff of drama, sharing a Politico story about her…leaping at the slightest whiff of drama, this time between Pelosi and several freshman congresswomen over their opposition to a Senate proposal to add $4.6 billion in funding to detention camps at the U.S.-Mexico border.

This time, Carlson targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mn.), calling the Somali-born lawmaker “living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country.”
“Not gonna lie, it’s kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress,” Omar wrote in response to Carlson’s racist attack.
“No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect,” she added. “They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman!”
Omar took a more sober tone when she revisited his comments on Twitter Wednesday afternoon, noting that Carlson’s nightly show now functions as a sort of white supremacist rhetoric happy hour.
“Advertisers should not be underwriting hate speech,” she said.
