Ilhan Omar smeared Iranian journo, Masih Alinejad and was destroyed for it.
MPORTANT THREAD ⬇ï¸â¬‡ï¸â¬‡ï¸
1-Earlier this week, Rep Ilhan Omar shared a defamatory article about me on social media by a Koch-Brothers funded “think tank†co-founded by a known sympathizer of the Iranian regime.
Here’s my response to @IlhanMN pic.twitter.com/t7iiEgJvAx

2-Ilhan Omar, when my innocent brother was recently taken hostage by the regime, solely due to my advocacy of civil rights for Iran, I reached out to you, expecting solidarity from you. However, you were silent. You gave no reaction.

3- When women like Saba Kordafshari, Yasaman Aryani, Monireh Arabshahi and Mojgan Keshavarz were arrested for protesting against compulsory hijab in Iran and were sentenced to a total of 95 years in prison, you were silent.

4-When my 70-year-old mother was interrogated for my activities by the Revolutionary Guards, I asked for your help, but you were silent yet again.
You’re silent even now as 176 people have been killed onboard a Ukraine Airlines plane under suspicious circumstances in Iran.

5- After months of silence, you instead chose to amplify a smear campaign against me, a fellow woman of color. Your only comments to all these human rights abuses is to repeat Islamic Republic propaganda against me.

6- As a journalist, I am an independent contractor for a number of media outlets, including the Persian-language service of Voice of America, which was created to counter the propaganda of authoritarian adversaries like the Soviet Union.

8-Those of us who hail from countries ruled by tyrants are capable of denouncing both the cruel policies of Trump & dictators in our native lands. I’ve openly condemned Trump’s travel ban—which separated me from my son in the UK—and his threats of attacking cultural sites in Iran
— Masih Alinejad ðŸ³ï¸ (@AlinejadMasih) January 10, 2020
10-Yet, when I divulge the repression of the Islamic Republic, attacks against me proliferate by the regime & their supporters in the West. I’d have never imagined that one day a member of Congress, a fellow woman of colour, would join with my oppressors in trying to defame me

Here is what Omar shared:
Masih Alinejad is receiving death threats. Rape threats. Her brother’s being held hostage by the IRGC.
Is it suspicious to work for VOA? Negar Mortazavi (the Rania Khalek for Iran) who you support worked for VOA.
How could you ever explain this tweet, Ilhan? My heart’s crying pic.twitter.com/jfgjW4zici
