U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar stirred controversy on Twitter after an American Twitter account compared her to ISIS. While we understand that this type of campaign from the American right is rooted in Omar’s religious and ethnic background, Kevork Almassian explains with evidence that Omar’s support of the CIA’s covert operation in Syria in support of radical jihadists, her refusal to recognize the Armenian genocide based on silly reasons, and her 2017 behind-closed-door meeting with Erdogan raise serious questions on the affiliation of Omar.
Kevork Almassian is an award-winning political commentator from Syria. He is the founder of Syriana Analysis and is known for his contribution to the literature on the Syrian war.
