2019-02-11
[CNSNEWS] Rep. Ilhan Omar
Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She is apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw...
 (D.-Minn.) said in a Thursday morning hearing of the House Education and Labor Committee that the Chief Executive Officer of McDonald’s gets paid $21.8 million a year while the median earnings for workers at the restaurant chain "who put in 40 hours a day" is $7000 per year.

The hearing was examining the possibility of lifting the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour.

On Thursday evening, Omar tweeted out a video clip of her talking at the hearing about McDonald's workers who put in "40 hours a day." Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D.-Mich.) then retweeted Omar’s tweet.

Omar made the remark‐which she then Tweeted in the video clip--in an exchange with Terrence Wise, a McDonald's worker from Missouri, who was testifying at the hearing.
