U.S. Capitol Police began arresting the representatives after they ignored three warnings to stop blocking traffic on a street in Washington, D.C., near the Supreme Court.
One of which is hateful liberal Ilhan Omar, this was confirmed by one of Omar’s staff on Tuesday afternoon.
Omar’s arrest was reportedly for blocking traffic.
I guess there was a time, maybe a couple of decades ago, when it looked cool or edgy to see a politician arrested.
Now, it just looks lame. It’s very staged, and it looks and feels very much like a PR stunt.

‘The Squad’ member of Congress participated in a pro-abortion protest outside of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hateful Omar was joined with mouth-breather Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) in the lists of 17 Democratic lawmakers that were arrested in the protests.
But it appears that the arrests were all stage mocking our Police.
Here’s what KSTP reported about Omar’s arrest:
Omar was expected to attend the event with other lawmakers, including the following Democrats:
- Rep. Jackie Speier (D-California)
- Rep. Cori Bush (D-Missouri)
- Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-New York)
- Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-California)
- Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pennsylvania)
No word on if all of the lawmakers who attended the event were arrested.
Although U.S. Capitol Police did not release the names, they say a total of 34 people, including 16 members of Congress, were arrested for blocking First Street Northeast.
Police said it is against the law to block traffic, and added they issued three standard warnings before arresting some of the demonstrators who refused to get out of the street.
Here’s what Omar tweeted after being arrested:
“Today I was arrested while participating in a civil disobedience action with my fellow Members of Congress outside the Supreme Court,” Omar tweeted.
“I will continue to do everything in my power to raise the alarm about the assault on our reproductive rights!”

Ilhan Omar’s stab at heroics was even more ludicrous as she live-acted the old saying, “She couldn’t get arrested in that town.” The clown music playing in the background is especially apropos:

Personally, I don’t understand why these politicians and the media keep placing themselves in these really awkward positions of looking like liars and con artists, for a cheap payoff that lasts a minute or two.
The long-term damage their doing is much more serious.
They did the same thing with masks… wearing them when the cameras were on, and them off when they thought the coast was clear.
Liberalism really is a mental disease.
