Schadenfreude is, as its literal translation states, a shameful pleasure. But it’s a damn satisfying one. There’s nothing quite so satisfying, especially, as seeing someone hoist on their own petard.
The more hypocritical and self-righteous the petard that’s being hoist, the more satisfying the schadenfreude.
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar was booed by Somali music fans at a packed festival Saturday in her home state.
The schadenfreude levels are over 9000!
The members of the crowd booed and chanted their displeasure at the congresswoman while she presented an award to Somali artist Suldaan Seeraar, according to a video posted to congressional candidate Shukri Abdirahman’s account. The event in which Omar presented the award took place during the state’s celebration of Somali independence, Newsweek reported.
Some festival-goers at the Target Center in Minneapolis were heard yelling at Omar, a Somali-American, to “get the f*ck out of here” as she walked on stage with her husband Tim Mynett, Fox News reported several videos show.
You’d think that a Somali-born, in-your-face-hijabi would be preaching to a wholly friendly crowd at a Somali-related event in her home state. No doubt so did she.
So, why did they boo? Possibly because they are perfectly aware that the Democrat’s assiduous pandering to identity politics is simply logically incompatible.
You can’t, for instance, be a pro-abortion, pro-“rainbow” feminist and an observant Muslim — no matter what Yassmin Abdel-Magied wants to believe.
Abdirahman, who is running as a Republican for Omar’s seat, claimed the crowd’s jeers were in response to Omar’s pro-LGBTQ and pro-abortion views.
“Ilhan Omar’s BOOOD by nearly 10K SOMALIS at a sold-out, highly-anticipated Somali music concert at Target Center in Minneapolis! This’s what she gets for trading her Godly, Conservative values for the sinful LGBTQIA’s & the promiscuous abortionists,” Abdirahman tweeted Sunday.
