Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar called for the “dismantling” of the U.S. economy and political system Tuesday.

“As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality,” Omar said. “We cannot stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.”


Omar held an event Tuesday in her home state of Minnesota with members of the Minnesota People of Color and Indigenous Caucus. Omar tweeted earlier Tuesday that the purpose of the event was to address “racism in policing” in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.

Omar has joined calls from local Democratic leaders to defund the police after four Minneapolis police officers were fired and charged in connection to Floyd’s death. The Minneapolis City Council unanimously voted to get rid of the city’s police department in June.


 
In other words, our current economy allows hard workers to reap the rewards of their labour and she considers that unfair.

If she was one of those that actually work to make money instead of being paid from the public purse to make stupid statements, her tune would change.
 
You may be on to something. This is from earlier today:
I know, I got to work today and my maintenance engineer showed me the live coverage. At the time there was not a lot of info on what happened.

I asked him if it was being worked on or if there was a full crew? He did not know, and there was no info.


Over pressurization of the chamber due to a fire, but no info on what started the fire at this time.

I hope they get it put out without any more being hurt.
 
By creating chaos from every angle simultaneously to overload the “system” then to remake the system.
 
Ayaan Hirsi Ali blasts Ilhan Omar over call to remake US, says 'I don't think we need a revolution'

"Why flee from Mogadishu, why flee from anarchy, why flee from oppression -- and then come to the United States and do all your best to turn Minnesota and the U.S. into Mogadishu?" Ali continued. "It's one of the things I’d like to ask her."

Ali, who fled to The Netherlands from Somalia in the early 1990s and became an American citizen in 2013, told Perino that Omar should recognize that no nation is more free and less systemically discriminatory than the United States.

"I don’t think we need a revolution, I think what we have -- the American Declaration [of Independence], the American Constitution, American values -- our system gives us the tools to address social injustice, to address inequality, to address all the issues we face," she said. "And I think these movements -- and Ilhan is just one of these people symbolizing that -- I think we need to resist and to say, 'Look, you've come to America in search of freedom, you've come to America in search of equality, we find it here. Our system is not perfect, we can fix it and we do it through conversations.'
"What we are seeing," Ali added, "is a very loud minority who is saying 'Let us not seek solutions to the system we have, but let’s dismantle it' and I am passionately against it."
