Ilhan calls out a sista from Michigan

Replying to @samueljrob
Farmington school board member Angie Smith says she’s backing Stevens because she believes she will represent everyone, “not just one race… You have to know how to work the room, don’t just come in here speaking Arabic, don’t come out with your Arabic music on.”

This is very much in keeping with the new radicalism.

First, stake out (or hint at) a position that’s divisive and racially or religiously polarizing — for example, sympathizing, if only tacitly, with Islamist radicals.

Then, wait for the opposition or one of the opposition’s subordinates to say, We don’t subscribe to that sort of divisiveness.

And then claim that *that* is divisive — or “othering.”

It’s disingenuous wordplay, and it’s beneath even most members of Congress. But, of course, this is @Ilhan.
