Ilhan Omar Zings 'Conservative Squad' Of Women Running For Congress After Their Fox News Announcement

Since being elected to Congress in 2018, the "squad," a group of four Democratic women of color, has been a consistent target of conservative media due to their unabashedly progressive politics.

After Donald Trump's infamous insistence that the four American women—all of whom are citizens—"go back" to the countries they came from, it's been hard to deny racism and sexism also play roles in the right's hatred for the squad.


Now, as we approach the 2020 elections, Fox News has decided to roll out their own "conservative squad."

If you look carefully, you might just be able to catch how they're a little different from the original.

The "Conservative Squad" is made up of four White women running for Congress this election season: Michelle Fischbach of Minnesota, Jessica Taylor of Alabama, Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Beth Van Duyne of Texas.

Ilham Omar brushed off the attack on Twitter.

It was impossible for people online to ignore the conservative squad's lack of diversity.

Well, one might have light brown instead of dark blond hair so... diversity!


To many there's an obvious racism in trying to create a "replacement" squad...using only blondish White women this time.


Twitter threw some pretty immediate shade at the new Squad.



Another important fact is that the Squad is a group of friends who enjoy working together, while the Conservative Squad is a publicity stunt between people who have never met prior to this.


Conservatives wish they could have a Squad too.

At the end of the day, Ilhan Omar probably had the best response.

Sometimes, when people are trying to hold you back, it just means you're moving in the right direction.

Lauren Boebert Casts Doubt On Moon Landing During Wild Interview With Conspiracy Theorist

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was criticized after she seemingly agreed with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked in a wide-ranging interview with conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Stein.

The segment began with the duo casting doubt on nuclear weapons—Boebert even joked about needing "tin foil"—and moved into weirder territory when Stein praised Boebert for "vibing" with him on the topic of the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.
