Over the weekend, a video was posted online that quickly garnered a lot of attention. The video in question surrounded a group of Christians singing gospel music while on a flight. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions and people getting kicked off the flight for simply not wearing a mask, many were wondering how the group was able to perform an entire show on the flight. Becoming such a heated debate, even Democratic Representative IIhan Omar chimed in, claiming her family would have been treated differently if they decided to hold a prayer session. 

Jump on Twitter, which has become the norm for Democrats, Rep. Omar tweeted out to her 3 million followers, “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?”

While Omar was trying to flip the narrative to make herself appear to be a victim of supposed white supremacy, the Representative didn’t get the reception she was hoping for. Writer Shant Mesrobian replied, “A member of Congress is supposed to have the restraint and maturity to not post a stupid, random, old video that for some reason is going viral right now as a way to score religious culture war points on a holy day for millions of people around the world.” 

Radio host Joe Pags Pgliarulo also wrote, “Why does this person who lives free and liberated because of the compassion of our country not appreciate that we’re a Judeo-Christian society uniquely founded to protect those of all faiths? Why does she constantly denigrate the place that offered her so much? Praying for her.”

Other replies included, “I like to sleep on a plane. I would have been a tad annoyed by this, but this tweet by Ilhan Omar is tone death and perhaps even anti Christian even. FYI, @IlhanMN , many families have prayer sessions on planes before, after, during flights. I pray before & upon landing.” And, “Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN attacks a group of Christian volunteers on an @easyJet flight in Europe delivering aid to Ukraine, because they’re singing. She has no idea about what transpired and whether or not it was approved. But it’s suddenly about her.”
