Ilhan Omar Says Graham Saying Systemic Racism Isn't True

“Senator Graham basically is trying to tell us that the sky is not blue,” replied Omar. “You know, it’s as if saying, you know, we don’t have poverty issues in this country because we have millionaires and billionaires.”

“It is obvious that we have a long way to go in this country,” she continued, if lawmakers were “refusing to acknowledge” that there is “institutionalized racism that is embedded within our systems that we need to actively work in booting out.”
