Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, pushed back against Republican congressional candidate Vernon Jones and others who blasted the lawmaker for her “hate” of Christians.
Over the weekend, Omar criticized a video on Twitter that showed a worship leader playing a guitar and singing with several other passengers during a flight, writing: “I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end?”
The Minnesota Democrat responded Monday to critics, seeming to enjoy the commotion stirred by her original tweet.

“And the original snowflakes had a complete and glorious meltdown,” Omar tweeted.
VERNON JONES BLASTS ILHAN OMAR: ‘WHY DO YOU HATE CHRISTIANS?’
Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican, tweeted at Omar on Monday, drawing another reaction from the Minnesota Democrat.
Anti-Christian hate? You need to stop projecting your bigotry. Religious bigots like you always think others hold the same hate they have in their hearts.
It’s Ramadan and I am gonna pray for y’all.
May God cleanse your hearts. https://t.co/QkRb0cXTvt

“Shout out to @IlhanMN,” Boebert wrote. “Her anti-Christian hate helped propel a song praising Jesus to 33 million views over Easter weekend. ‘Even the rocks will cry out.’”
To which Omar responded: “Anti-Christian hate? You need to stop projecting your bigotry. Religious bigots like you always think others hold the same hate they have in their hearts. It’s Ramadan and I am gonna pray for y’all. May God cleanse your hearts.”

YouTuber Steven Crowder suggested Omar expressed a double standard in blasting Christian worship on a plane while staying silent on violence.
