Sanders praises Omar as ‘extraordinary’ as he teams up with ‘the Squad’ member in N.H.
Sen. Bernie Sanders returned Friday to the state that holds the first primary in the race for the White House – and he brought along a controversial guest.
The Democratic presidential candidate and populist senator from Vermont was accompanied by freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota – a high profile and progressive firebrand member of Congress. While state Republicans criticized Omar for past remarks she’s made about Israel, there were no outward protests against her at her first stop with Sanders – at a rally at Southern New Hampshire University.
After Omar introduced Sanders at the campaign event – the two-time White House hopeful called her “one of the most extraordinary people in American politics.”
