The Christian pastor attacked by Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar for singing worship songs on a plane during his return from helping refugees in Ukraine has responded to the congresswoman’s mocking and said that he had no intentions of making a political statement with his joyful song.
Pastor Jack Jensz Jr. shared his response to Omar’s attack in an interview published Wednesday by The Christian Post , saying that his singing was posted as a way for friends to follow his trip to help Ukrainian refugees in Europe.
“It was actually just a post to share with our friends and encourage our friends that have been following our journey,” Jensz told The Christian Post.
He originally posted it to his Facebook page on April 9.
Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress from Minnesota and the first Somali-American Muslim to ever become a federal lawmaker, went on the attack against the pastor in an April 16 tweet in which she seemed to hint that she thinks Muslims do not have freedom of religion in the U.S.A.
On the day before Easter, Omar captioned the video of the pastor singing, “I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end?” I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane.

“When [Omar] posted that, I just looked at it and I didn’t really give it too much thought. I didn’t really enter into […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
