Masih Alinejad, an Iranian journalist, author and host on Voice of America's Persian service said Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has been an active participant in a campaign to smear her.

She said Omar has spread false information about her because of an opinion piece she wrote in the Washington Post criticizing Qasem Soleimani, the general of the Qud's Force that was killed in a U.S. airstrike.

In her piece, Alinejad tells Americans not to believe the Iranian-fueled propaganda surrounding Soleimani's death, especially about the number of so-called "supporters" who came out to mourn Soleimani's death.....


.....The Iranian journalist recounted numerous instances where she reached out to Omar in search of support.

Each time the Minnesota Congresswoman was silent.
