BOTTOM LINE: Those who do not love America are free to leave

President Trump has spoken out against radical, far-left Democrats, codenamed “The Squad,” who consistently bad mouth the United States.

My family and I came to America as Jewish refugees. As an immigrant, I know how blessed I am to live in these United States. We could have gone to a different country, but we came to America because of what it stands for: freedom, opportunity, and the pursuit of happiness.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a member of “the squad,” and her family also chose the United States.

Yet, she’s decided to use her freedom to spew hateful anti-Semitism, join the radical left in its efforts to tear our country apart, and most recently to not condemn the terrorist group al Qaeda which carried out the barbaric September 11th terrorist attacks on our soil.

The wrongful, knee-jerk conclusion that the president is somehow racist for criticizing those who denigrate America is reflective of a liberal ideology that is obsessed with identity politics.

Here’s the bottom line: For those who believe that the American system is not for them, unlike the people in Communist North Korea or Socialist Venezuela, you are free to go.

We are all more than the color of our skin, the religion we choose to observe or the country we come from. Together we are Americans. Love it or leave it.
