Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat who is Muslim, shared video of a flight showing individuals singing spiritual songs.

Omar included the caption:

“I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end,” she asked.

Then Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene responded:

“Would that be kind of like when ‘some people did something,'” in reference to Omar’s statement about the Sept. 11 Islamic terrorist attacks.

Jose Castillo, a congressional candidate in Florida, also ripped Omar. Castillo said Omar should “go back to her own country” if she wants a country where Christians aren’t allowed to pray in public.

In America, Muslims can & do pray in public. If she wants a country where Christians aren’t allowed to do the same @IlhanMN should go back to her own country.
