Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar received an impromptu history lesson from Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas on Twitter this week.
The radical, far-left “Squad” member, who represents Minnesota’s 5th congressional district, which includes Minneapolis — the location of the fuse which lit the country’s current unrest — defended the toppling of a statue of Christopher Columbus Wednesday.
The toppling of the statue came as radical leftists nationwide continue their attempt to erase a history which they find inconvenient as they attack the country’s founding principals and figures.
Cruz shared an ABC News post on Twitter of the statue being pulled down, and described the activists as the domestic terrorists they are, which apparently triggered Omar.

This was organized and led by Indigenous people.

Columbus literally started a genocide against them.
What a sick thing to say about those taking down monuments to their own oppression. https://t.co/awLxvyXGDZ

Why again did you oppose the House resolution against antisemitism?

Indigenous - existing or growing naturally in a region or country; native. So, let's have that discussion. The indians of North America came here from across the land bridge of the Bering Strait from Russia. They are NOT indigenous. Those that are here today are indigenous. So, by the leftists' definition, I was born in the U.S.A., therefor I am indigenous, or native to the U.S.A.. The mexicans are partly Spanish and indian, therefor, they are not indigenous.So, if I need to move back to Plymouth Rock, then they need to move back to the Rock of Gibraltar, and the northern American indians should move back to the Ural mountains. I could have swarn that we were taught that, all of mankind came out of Africa, that we are natives of Africa. So, who is lying? That just leaves the middle easterners who do not include themselves in any of their riot inciting puke and spew. If Omar wants to spew genocide, she should be an expert on the genocide of millions of Jews.
Mr. Cruz and Ms. Omar,
GROW UP, TGE BOTH OF YOU. STOP TGE INFIGHTING ABD BICKERING. Its high time to get in the same page. Lead by example.
