Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) responds to President Donald Trump making a racially divisive attack against her at a campaign rally in Moon Township, Pennsylvania.
He also denigrated the Minnesota congresswoman in her home state last month as "a horrible woman who hates our country" and insinuated that she may not have won her recent primary election.
"Let's check the mail-in vote," Trump told the crowd, adding. "Where are the people that would vote for her?"
Last summer, in a series of racist tweets, Trump told Omar and the other members of the "Squad" who have been outspoken against his policies — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib — to "go back" to their supposed home countries, though they were born in the United States and Omar is a naturalized citizen.
Following his tweets, Trump's supporters at a campaign rally in North Carolina chanted "send her back," which was directed at Omar, as the President stood silently. He later claimed to disavow the chants.
Trump has also promoted false smears against Omar and questioned her patriotism, highlighting some of her controversial comments on issues including Israel, law enforcement and the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Trump, who has his own history of pushing anti-Semitic tropes, criticized Omar for tweets last year that were widely condemned as anti-Semitic, which she later apologized for.

Ilhan Omar responds to Trump’s racist attack: He spreads the disease of hate
Spot on! Don’t know why people don’t bring that up more about Trump’s family and immigrant family.
@Joy Phillips and yet you are here commenting….go back to Fox
Karan Bhansali yeah but they aren’t trying to change America into Somalia !
They aren’t marrying their brother to get him here faster !
They aren’t funneling millions to their third husband right now either !
Big difference !
I know, I know, I’m a racist.
So be it.
@Xander thats not true he hates immigrants that aren’t whote
Not every immigrant is a good person, not every citizen is a good person. While we have no choice but to deal with our own bad people, we don’t need to import the worlds bad people.
Because they will NEVER tell the fact and the reality of things …They are fake
He does not respecf any person of color deep inside his heart .
Does he have a heart???
No racist does, its part of their tradition, carry on their bloodlines hatred
Hershel Walker. Talk a look.
@H Trus he don’t respect hershel, he just a black face to have around to say Im not racist
That is such a radical and insane statement. He doesn’t victimize black people so he’s racist? Ya’ll need to wake up. Nobody is going to give you special treatment for your skin color and you can’t cry racist. You are what is wrong with the world. Tough love.
Rep Omar is very impressive
She is right in what she is saying
I’m glad CNN interviewed her
She has been getting a bad rap from the other side
She seems to be a decent well educated person
that’s more than I can say for this President that doesn’t
want to work with all the people in this country
He only wants to be on stage doing his thing but the office of the president is not a reality (bull) show
If there wasn’t the privilege of executive orders by the sitting
President, where would he be
Because she is right when she says he missed a step
in the 101 of the job of the congress
Vote Blue 🇺🇸
Independent here voting straight blue.
Interesting note: After rushing through this next Justice, 5 of the Justices on our totally legitimate SCOTUS will have been placed there by “presidents” who didn’t win the most votes.
@Christopher Manley We’re trying to have a society here.
@TheLastWalenta Well… good luck with all that.
@Christopher Manley Surprise! We’re in the same boat.
TheLastWalenta ¿Qué es un barco?
@Christopher Manley Huevón, un barco es un buque. No me digas que no lo sabías.
Que sorpresa que tmb hablo español fluido, no?
They can’t stand Mayor Bill de Blasio’s policies on school openings, homelessness, crime, bail reform, small business and street-protest looters — but most of all, they can’t stand him.

No. That is not the reason why. He wants New York as a garbage can. Now he wants money. Well, I don’t want to pay for his BS OR YOURS. Why should I pay for his sick reinforcement of some twisted ideology that he played around in years ago.
then leave
Has Spanky forgotten that he married two immigrants?
Aren’t most of Spanky’s children second-generation immigrants?
@itchydiscoman Look at his past. Before president. All of his criminalities and associates. Don’t swallow tge Kool- aide ( maggots). It’s killing you.
@Cynthia Gonzalez <<
@Linda Lucy Google: everything I said. Fact check.Trump was sued by Federal Government for stealing the money from Trump Charity. Trump was sued by Federal Government for stealing the students money from Trump University. Trump was sued by Federal Government for racial discrimination refusing to rent to Blacks. Trump is an Unindicted co- CON- spirator paying porn star Stormy Daniels $ 130, 000 hush money for sex. All Facts. Stop swallowing the maggots. It is killing you. Mentally, emotionally ,and spiritually. Severe case of TDS. To not see these facts.
@Jaguar Edgar But they’re white, so in Trump’s estimation that means they’re just better.
I kid, of course. Trump’s not a raving lunatic racist like the far right is, he’s just a casual racist, and can easily forgive someone for the color of their skin if they will lavish praise and sympathy on him (and maybe hold a nifty military parade in his honor, so long as it doesn’t feature any of those disgusting losers who weren’t smart enough to avoid injury or serving in the first place). He’s especially non-discriminatory when it comes to taking your money to make himself richer – you could be Jeffrey Epstein, it doesn’t matter to him.
@Ruth Harris I am a professional,
We will listen to the scientists.
Notice how he always emphasizes OUR country as if Representative Omar and others that demand change and accountability aren’t American citizens.
The way they lie with a straight face is astounding.
@Ruth Harris Ruth we at least have to agree that the sun is yellow and hot? Their is plenty of archieve that the squad had said disrepectful things about Trump. One of them said “we are going to impeach the mother f-er”?
@JA LO At a trump rally on February 24 2016 Trump said ” I love the poorly educated”. Is that you Ja Lo?? It’s said to see how ignorant and just plain dumb Trump supporters are.
Do you live here? Is she your rep? If not sit down and shut up because you don’t know what you’re talking about and I’d rather think you’re just ignorant and tribal. Not a malicious liar.
@Story Gordon they’re russian trolls. .. deep fakes.. look at her deep fake pixelated video from 1984
M J …nope, thats Trump, his admin & fox&friends forte – to LIE and LIE MORE💁🏼♀️ and that’s a sad fact😐
SOME PEOPLE DID SOMETHING
YES WHAT YOUR 8 ISRAELI FRIENDS DID WAS HORRIFIC.
It has become quite clear that We are fighting “The Enemy Within.”
Everybody loves the Bad Guy in the movies, but they always the ones to die at the end.
I still want to know who tf is they. Does anyone beside Trump know?
Trump is the leader of racist. Congresswoman Omar is more articulate than he’ll ever be.
Lol, “some other people”
I would point out that his wife is an immigrant.
@Mav Boy It’s quite relevant since its the topic of the damn post.
@Tina Carr The United States? Yeah, I agree. We need her.
@M J HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH loves that bougie gold bathroom
@Tina Carr Maybe it’s you that needs to go home
Any who frequently uses the term “they say” is either ignorant, lying or both.
@Thomas Kiechle what the democrats can do is get over it and stop being salty losers because the good thing about our democracy is it isn’t like china or russia that have indefinite leaders. Trump has not lied. People parrot that lie and when I ask them to provide 5 things he’s lied about they never respond? Ask me to name 10 things Biden has lied about? I would name 20!
@Thomas Kiechle so they can dish it out, but can’t take it ,
Hmmmm ok

@Thomas Kiechle I would rather vote for Trump than the Communist Party the Democrats that are working with Chine both with the Virus that devastated the whole world just to damage an Election and The Democrats have passed all the US intel to Israel who then passed it to Russia and Chine for the Globalist New World Order project they are trying to push through. It seems all the World knows what the Democrats have done apart from the American People.
@Thomas Kiechle I agree with everything you wrote, however, he has been proven to be lying over 20k times just since he took office. In fact, the fact checkers stopped or gave up checking him all together.
Trumps base show their ignorance everyday sad
What a intelligent young woman!! She makes me proud to be an American!!! ✊🏼💜✌🏼
She’s articulate, smart, intelligent and eloquent!!! Does our president have a college degree? Because he sounds like a person from the streets 😂👌😜🤷🏿♂️
You cant be talking about that stupid POS!
Our “President” is mentally, morally and spiritually challenged. It’s so sad.
Lol yep
certainly you have no idea of what is going on
