American Ingrate: Ilhan Omar and the Progressive-Islamist Takeover of the Democratic Party

Contact Your Elected Officials

In American IngrateFederalist Senior Contributor Benjamin Weingarten exposes Ilhan Omarโ€™s radical and revolutionary Left-Islamist agenda, her seminal role in the progressive takeover of the Democratic Party, and the dire threat she poses to U.S. national security by way of her collusion with subversive anti-American forces.

She says that America was โ€œfounded by the genocide of indigenous people and on the backs of slaves,โ€ and that โ€œignorance really is pervasiveโ€ among Americans today.

She says America must โ€œdismantleโ€ capitalism and โ€œdemilitarizeโ€ U.S. foreign policy, which she sees โ€œfrom the perspective of a foreigner,โ€ tweeting โ€œthousands of Somalis [were] killed byโ€ฆAmerican forcesโ€ฆ#NotTodaySatan.โ€

She says American support for Israel is โ€œall about the Benjamins baby;โ€ and that American Jews disloyally pledge โ€œallegianceโ€ to Israelโ€™s โ€œapartheidโ€ฆregime,โ€ which has โ€œhypnotized the world.โ€

She says of the 9/11 attacks: โ€œsome people did something.โ€

Shockingly, Congresswoman Ilhan Omarโ€™s (D-MN) words merely scratch the surface of her hatred of Americaโ€”and the Westโ€”and divert our gaze from the nefarious actions she is taking to sabotage it from within.

American Ingrate is the defining book on the size, scope, and nature of the threat posed by Representative Omarโ€”the personification of the anti-American Left-Islamist nexusโ€”heightened by her hidden collusion with like-minded adversaries foreign and domestic, and alleged criminality and corruption.

This is a clarion wakeup call to the dangers epitomized by Rep. Omar. For she is not merely a lone radical in Congress, but the archetype of the new Democratic Partyโ€”and a uniquely dangerous figure at the heart of a uniquely dangerous challenge to America.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Benjamin Weingarten professionally and thoroughly dissects the strange case of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and demonstrates that much about the congresswoman is an enigma at best and a fraud at worst…Weingarten suggests that if Omar had not existed, she would have had to be invented, given that she is a metaphor for a larger American pathology of progressive virtue-signaling, and, ultimately, self-loathing.” โ€• Victor Davis Hanson

American Ingrate is a serious, deeply researched work that makes the compelling case Rep. Ilhan Omar is the new face of the Democratic Party, and delves deeply into her background and beliefs. It compellingly sets forth the argument that she not only personifies but leads a Progressive-Islamist alliance held together by the glue of hatred of America, of Judeo-Christian values, of Western civilization, and of Israel. Read it and weep. Or better, read it and fight back. This is a manual in that fight.” โ€• Dennis Prager

“It has become clear that left-wing ideology and extreme identity politics have cultivated a dangerous strain of anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party that is part and parcel of its increasingly anti-Judeo Christian and anti-Western orientation. Benjamin Weingarten has done a brilliant job of illustrating this phenomenon through the story of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s rise to power despite her holding views about Israel, the Jewish people, and America’s role in the world which would have been unacceptable just a few years ago. American Ingrate is required reading for anyone seeking to understand the modern Democratic Party’s posture towards Israel and its reflexive anti-Americanism.” โ€• Newt Gingrich
