TRANSCRIPT:
OMAR: "To be coming out of our country, I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that. To have democracy, a beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights, while our president’s spending millions of dollars prompting himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade, it is really shocking and it should be a wake-up call for all Americans to say this is not the country we were born and this is not the country we believe in, this is not the country our Founding Fathers imagined, and this is not the country that is supported by our Constitution, our ideals, our values, and we should all collectively be out in the streets rejecting what is taking place this week."
