Speaking to CNN’s "State of the Union," Omar (D-Minn.) was asked if she agreed with Major League Baseball’s decision to pull its All-Star Game from Atlanta in protest of the law. Her answer was typical propaganda from the Squad and basically called anything to do with securing elections racist and likened it to the actual horrors of South Africa's Apartheid regime. Apparently asking for Identification in 2021 America is a show of your hatred towards people of color - how? no one knows and no one actually challenges her on this - especially the softball media which interviewed her.
"We know that boycotts have allowed for justice to be delivered in many spaces. The civil rights movement was rooted in boycotts. We know that, you know, apartheid ended in South Africa because of boycotts," the progressive Minnesota congresswoman replied.

"So our hope is that, you know, this boycott will result in changes in the law because we understand that when you restrict people’s ability to vote, you create a democracy that isn’t fully functioning for all of us, and if we are to continue to be beacon of hope for all democracies around the world, we must stand our ground," she continued.

Abrams, the state’s failed 2018 Democratic gubernatorial candidate, made her case against a boycott in an op-ed published Wednesday by USA Today, following weeks of public outrage, including from Hollywood and numerous corporations.

“It turns out that bowing down to the social justice warriors really is a dangerous, self-defeating strategy. Case in point: Democrats’ lies about Georgia’s voter integrity law, equating it to Jim Crow, sent all sorts of far left activists down the "Boycott Georgia" war path.

And Stacey Abrams, the mastermind behind this fraudulent attack on Georgia’s voter ID law, has also been caught in a trap of her own making.” Ingraham declared.
The legislation in question, signed by Gov. Brian Kemp late last month, overhauls election protocols in the Peach State, placing new restrictions on voting by mail and increases legislative control over the voting process.
President Biden initially referred to the bill as "Jim Crow on steroids" the day after its signing, but went even further last Wednesday, saying he would "strongly support" moving the MLB’s mid-summer classic in protest.
"I think today’s professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly," Biden said in an interview with ESPN. "I would strongly support them doing that. People look to them. They are leaders."
