Congresswoman Ilhan Omar stunned observers yet again during a public statement on the Alien Enemies Act, casually referring to its last use during “World War Eleven.” This jaw-dropping mistake turned a serious discussion about national security into an embarrassing spectacle that highlights the depth of historical ignorance plaguing some in Congress.Such basic errors from a sitting lawmaker raise serious questions about competence and preparedness for office. When our representatives cannot distinguish World War II from some fictional sequel, it erodes public confidence in their ability to handle complex issues like border security and threats from abroad.Americans deserve leaders who grasp our nation’s past and can defend it without fumbling simple facts. This latest gaffe serves as a stark reminder that common sense and knowledge should be non-negotiable requirements for those entrusted with power in Washington.
