Boston Celtics player Enes Kanter had some harsh words for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after the congresswoman failed to support a bill that would place sanctions on Turkey for its invasion of northern Syria.
Kanter, who is Turkish, was angered because Omar was the only Democrat to vote against the bill aimed at punishing Turkey (15 Republicans also voted against the bill).
“What an absolute disappointment and shame that the only democrat who did NOT support the Turkish bill aiming to stop the killing of innocent people is @IlhanMN who seems like [sic] on #DictatorErdogan’s payroll working for his interests, but not for the American people and democracy!” Kanter tweeted Tuesday night.
NEWSRAEL: Notice that Ilhan Omar never sued Kanter for libel...
