  Just putting out there what everyone already thinks: woman, muslim, black, smart, born - everything republicans hate.
context: She's Black with a  foreign sounding name, and wears a head covering.
  We done here? >
  
  Don't forget she's a woman. Gotta hate on women if you want to be republican. >
  
  And an intelligent, well spoken, strong and independent woman. The kind they hate the most. It's the MO for their favorite Boogeymen/woman... Hillary Clinton...Nancy Pelosi. >
  
  Also she said something not supportive of Israel, so she basically has ticked every box these people have for being an evil communist BLM terrorist. >
  
  If I understood correctly she was referring to lobbyists. It was a poor choice of words, but that is what it always is about when it comes to lobbyists. Unless I am missing something. >
  
  Well we all know the truth isn't always welcome in politics. Especially these days. I get that Israel is one of our greatest allies and that as a people they have been through A LOT, but what is happening in Palestine isn't just. >
  
  What's happening to Palestinians in Israel right now would be labeled war crimes if any other country were doing it. >
  
  Agree. It is tragic. >
  
  I mean, on the one hand, she is everything they claim to love. The american dream right? On the other hand she is everything they hate. Brown, female, muslim, progressive. She ticks the box of every demographic they would erase or subjugate if they could. So having to treat her as an equal or worse, with respect, when she is smarter than they are, adds insult to injury. >
  
  That's a Bingo! >
  
  "Ya just say bingo..." >
  
  Bongo! >
  
  They're good dogs Bongo! >
  
  Rep. Ilhan Omar is polar opposite of Donald Trump: young, female, African, immigrant, refugee. Rep. Omar grew up in poverty, and she is a purveyor of social justice. >
  
  She is also increadibly intelligent. >
  
  Correct. I also forgot to add that Rep. Omar is Muslim. She’s one of my favorites in Congress. >
  
  The Squad in general are all sorts of awesome >
  
  Really? Can't figure that one out? 
  She's an immigrant from a "shit hole" country. 
  She's Muslim and wears a hijab (sp). 
  And she's a Black woman. >
  
  She is also smart and they like their women very dumb, just look at Bobert or Greene. >
  
  And Blackburn in the Senate. Dumb as a post. >
  
  Don't you insult a wooden post by saying it's as dumb as Blackburn. >
  
  I apologize to wooden posts everywhere. >
  
  Make a list of things that republicans openly express hate or disdain for.
  Female
  Minority
  Immigrant
  Non Christian
  Attractive women who don‘t exist merely to be ogled, provide men pleasure or massage men’s egos
  People who want the government to work for all citizens and not just the wealthy 
  Now add in that she is successful and working in a job dominated by old white males.   
  This is not one of life’s great mysteries, The Independent. >
  
  And she's rightly critical of Israel >
  
  Woman
  Brown >
  
  And Muslim. 3 things the radical right hate. >
  
  And outspoken. >
  
  Most importantly, a Democrat. Can't use her as a token friend, may as well be a token enemy. >
  
  Well, (to state the obvious) all Democrats are, well... Democrats.  But they don't all attract so much ire from the Republicans as Omar. >
  
  While you're correct, it is bit of stating the obvious, it isn't just that she's a Democrat, but it is definitely also because she is a Democrat. >
  
  Goddamn, your user name fucking rules. 
  Let’s not forget that she is also an immigrant from an African country. >
  
  I mean she ticks all the boxes. But they're not coming after AOC or Tlaib or anyone else in the same way >
  
  I haven’t seen all that much coming out of the squad these days, aside from some well thrown shade from AOC. I hope there’s a really good reason why they aren’t coming to her defense. >
  
  They’re racist shitbags. >
  
  This >
  
  1) She's a woman. 
  2) She's Muslim.
  3) She has dark skin.
  4) She calls them out on their bullshit. >
  
  Black, female and Muslim. She’s everything they hate. >
  
  In this case a picture says a thousand words for them. If you took any random black woman who was a practicing Muslim in America and showed a picture to most  in the GOP the response would be negative. >
  
  Really? >
  
  
  Black
  Muslim
  Woman
  Immigrant
  Speaks her mind >
  
  But but but I thought we WANTED free speech?! >
  
  Republicans believe that everyone has the freedom to agree with Republicans. >
  
  Let’s see:
  1) Black
  2) Muslim (with a head covering)
  3) Refugee
  4) Woman (fearless and outspoken)
  5) Liberal Democrat
  6) Had the audacity to speak out against Israel’s persecution of Palestinians 
  Anything else not to love? She’s a badass who stands up to them as well, can’t have that. >
  
  Why does the dark skinned Muslim woman attract so much republican ire? The world may never know. >
  
  She's not White >
  
  Her sex, her color, her religion >
  
  Because they're racist and sexist. >
  
  Shes a Democrat woman who speaks up, see also Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Hillary >
  
  Do you have to ask? >
  
  I'll give you 3 guesses to find the 3 reasons why and I bet you get them all right. >
  
  because she's everything they hate : not white, not christian, female and educated. >
  
  Black, woman, Muslim, educated, liberal? Republicans hate to see it. >
  
  She’s a black female Muslim that’s progressive - it’s pretty obvious >
  
  She checks every box for them >
  
  Her skin color >
  
  Is there anyone who doesn't already know the answer without having to read the article? >
  
  Can’t speak for Republicans but besides being different to the status quo, she’s definitely let some anti-Semitic commentary fly which receives bipartisan condemnation and then she gives half apologies. >
  
  ignorance and fear >
  
  Could it be gender, skin color, and religious beliefs? >
  
  a smart woman, who is muslim, and black... she is threefer of republican hate magnets >
  
  shes a strong, smart woman >
  
  She’s black, Muslim and a woman, perfect criteria for Republican hatred. >
  
  Because brown and in their club.... >
  
  There’s a few reasons
  
  Muslim
  Woman
  Supports Human Rights >
  
  hmmm...female, not white, muslim, immigrant, progressive, articulate and outspoken...
  pretty much checks all the boxes for right wing hate. >
  
  Three reasons: black Muslim woman.
  That's it. That's all they need to hate and target her. >
  
  I think what it really comes down to is that she is a member of "the squad" and that scares the hell out of them because they know that the squad has the potential to become the biggest obstacle to conservative politics in the USA. Omar and the rest of the squad are extremely well liked left wing politicians that have gathered the support of pretty much every minority that the GOP has alienated over the past 20 years. As the base that supports the GOP continues to age and die out they see that they are losing the power they once had so the GOP is doing everything they possibly can to limit the power that the squad holds while they can. >
  
  There’s a million reasons they hate her but take everything else away and they’d hate her just for being non white.  Racist and republican are synonymous these days. >
  
  She's a brown Muslim woman. The GOP's own hellish trifecta. >
  
  She's brown, Muslim, and a woman. That's it. >
  
  Is this a serious question? >
  
  Ooooh, I don't know... What could it be? RACISM! >
  
  gee your guess is as good as mine >
  
  She’s literally everything they have feared for the last oh idk…forever? >
  
  She is Muslim and liberal the perfect gop boogie man to scare all their voters in to submission >
  
  
  Black
  Muslim
  Woman
  Liberal
  "Foreigner" >
  
  Racism, sexism, and her religion. >
  
  Shocking that the party of racism and misogyny hates a powerful woman of color! Shocking I say! >
  
  1 guess. >
  
  Gee, I’ll give you one guess. >
  
  Racism >
  
  Cuz they’re all a bunch of chauvinists and racists… >
  
  And Christianists >
  
  because she's brown? >
  
  Because she’s black and she’s Muslim >
  
  It will forever be  mystery I guess... >
  
  Her name, race, religion, and gender.  None of those things are acceptable to Republicans. >
  
  They’re racist. It’s not rocket science. >
  
  In the running for the most naive question ever asked. Apologies, that was shitty of me but >
  
  Because she's a democrat, progressive, black, Muslim, intelligent, a woman, and she knows how to fight back and republicans hate that. >
  
  She is smart, she is a woman, she is not white, she is not christian, and she stands up for democracy, not fascism. >
  
  Because she represents the future, and they just can handle an America that isn't predominantly white. Oh ya and they are racist as fuck. >
  
  In the list of questions which the answer is obvious, this one is probably at or close to the top. >
  
  Non-white, wears a headscarf, stands up for the downtrodden palestinians often in conflict with israel. >
  
  Not really a mystery. She ticks most of their bigotry boxes. >
  
  Refer to the Peter Griffin ok not ok chart. >
  
  chart (okay - not okay) >
  
  She’s brown and educated and outspoken. >
  
  To me that’s it. To republicans who believe in an immutable hierarchy in the world, she’s uppity, trying to act and speak above her station. >
  
  It starts with a b- and ends with a -rown >
  
  I mean she’s everything they hate. Women, Muslim, brown, and liberal. >
  
  She is a woman
  She is a Muslim 
  She is brown
  She is a brown Muslim woman.
  In the eyes of the republican party, that's three strikes. >
  
  Because she was elected democratically and not by white Christian landowners referendum >
  
  I don't think anyone is confused as to why. The real question is " Why does this article exist?" Slow news week? >
  
  Intelligent, coherent, pretty, female, non-white, muslim.
  Very popular in her district and therefore out of their control.
  Why wouldn't they hate her? >
  
  Come on now, we all know why >
  
  lol...you know why >
  
  Why does the outspoken minority women attract so much ire from racists? >
  
  They're racist. Was that a serious question? >
  
  “Why did Jackie Robinson get so many death threats just for playing baseball?” >
  
  C'mon....we all know why. She checks off at least 4 boxes from their hate list before she says a word. >
  
  That is an easy question to answer!
  It is because she is a Woman
  It is because she is a Woman of Color
  It is because she is a Muslim Woman
  It is because she is has an accent...thus an "other"
  It is because she is a beautiful Woman
  It is because she is a smart Woman >
  
  YouKnowWhy.gif >
  
  Because she wears a Hijaab. >
  
  She doesn't just piss off Republicans. She correctly criticized Israel's far right government and the influence that AIPAC has and Pelosi was quick to throw her under the bus. >
  
  Why do they hate AOC? They're both women of color who actually came up from working class into a position of power. All things they're against. They want government to be an old money boys club that instills the rich and punishes the working class. >
  
  Because she's a brown Muslim woman
  I'll eat my shoe if their thought process goes beyond those 3 words >
  
  Lol, we all know why.
  She’s muslim
  She’s brown skinned
  She’s a she >
  
  You know why >
  
  She's an immigrant.
  She's a person of colour.
  She's Muslim.
  She's a woman.
  She's intelligent.
  She won't take their shit.  
  She's literally everything they're afraid of. >
  
  Republicans HATE smart, successful women. >
  
  She is an assertive, intelligent, non Christian, dark skinned woman, everything they hate >
  
  Is this a trick question? >
  
  Woman. Muslim. Dark skinned. Foreign name. More educated than them and in a position of power. >
  
  As a Canuck, always thought that anybody who isn’t a male WASP will attract GOP ire. >
  
  Do you really need to ask? >
  
  No article needed; no nuance or long-winded, complex analysis needed:
  Sin #1: She's Muslim
  Sin #2: She's black
  Sin #3: She has the audacity to speak. >
  
  Female, not white, intelligent, not Christian, is a decent person. >
  
  She’s not white and not Christian and not cis male. >
  
  because she wears a headscarf and is a woman of color .. i think that is it >
  
  I wonder >
  
  Why is water wet the next question being asked today? >
  
  Because she's a shitty person who married her brother and hates Jews. >
  
  Dark skin woman and not a Christian 🤷🏼‍♂️ >
  
  Woman. Muslim. Intelligent. >
  
  Muslim/Woman/Black in that order.
