Ilhan Omar ripped for tweet about Boulder shooting suspect’s race | New York Post

Rep. Ilhan Omar is taking heat for tweeting about how “narratives” change based on a suspect’s “race or ethnicity” in the wake of the Colorado massacre.

“The shooter’s race or ethnicity seems front and center when they aren’t white,” Omar (D-Minn.) wrote Tuesday. “Otherwise, it’s just a mentally ill young man having a bad day.

“Narratives drive our responses to awful crimes committed against innocent people, pay attention to these responses and who is targeted,” the tweet said.
