Ilhan Omar was just asked about her comments in my @TheSTMagazine interview on Good Morning America. Her response: x.com/dcexaminer/status/1265…

"There's obviously parts of what [Tara Reade has] said that has been corroborated, parts of it that hasn't. That is not my place to litigate her story." @IlhanMN says it is important to believe survivors, but she's still supporting @JoeBiden.
