<p>Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) faced criticism over the weekend regarding a tweet about Christians who were singing worship music during a flight.</p>
<p>The exact details of the flight, including whether it was a chartered flight, when the flight happened, and the travel itinerary for flight are not clear.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane,&#8221; Omar wrote on the video, which she tweeted out to her 3 million followers on the platform. &#8220;How do you think it will end?&#8221;</p>

<p>&mdash; Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) <a href="https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1515528668227018752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 17, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Notable responses on Twitter included:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shant Mesrobian</strong>, writer: &#8220;A member of Congress is supposed to have the restraint and maturity to not post a stupid, random, old video that for some reason is going viral right now as a way to score religious culture war points on a holy day for millions of people around the world.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Kurt Schlichter</strong>, attorney and columnist: &#8220;I think you should shut up and stop being a bigot.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jose de Jesus Ortiz</strong>, writer: &#8220;I like to sleep on a plane. I would have been a tad annoyed by this, but this tweet by Ilhan Omar is tone death and perhaps even anti Christian even. FYI, @IlhanMN , many families have prayer sessions on planes before, after, during flights. I pray before &amp; upon landing.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jason Osborne</strong>, political strategist: &#8220;Oh good lord it’s clearly a charter flight. No masks, but sure, let’s make an issue and on Easter no less.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Asra Q. Nomani</strong>, activist and former professor: &#8220;One thing upon which we can depend: Ilhan Omar/CAIR is a perpetual participant in the Oppression Olympics. And as Easter begins, she has to compete with a Christian &#8216;prayer session.’”</li>
<li><strong>Joe Pags Pagliarulo</strong>, radio host: &#8220;Why does this person who lives free and liberated because of the compassion of our country not appreciate that we&#8217;re a Judeo-Christian society uniquely founded to protect those of all faiths? Why does she constantly denigrate the place that offered her so much? Praying for her.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Avi Kaner</strong>, business owner: &#8220;Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN attacks a group of Christian volunteers on an @easyJet flight in Europe delivering aid to Ukraine, because they’re singing. She has no idea about what transpired and whether or not it was approved. But it’s suddenly about her.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>John Cardillo</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;Without issue. I’ve been on many flights with Muslims saying a prayer before takeoff. No one cares.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Mike Cernovich</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;Over 25,000,000 views. Thank you for sharing and spreading a positive message on Easter.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Nick Searcy</strong>, actor: &#8220;Wa alaikum salaam? Allahu Akbar? Don&#8217;t you know? Maybe you could ask your brother, or your husband, or whatever.&#8221;</li>
