President Donald Trump on Saturday went after Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), again invoking her Somali heritage and urging her to \u201cgo back,\u201d a line he has used several times since taking office.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe should go back!\u201d Trump\u00a0said\u00a0on Truth Social, alongside a video clip of Omar speaking to a crowd in which she said her allegiance would always be with her native country.<\/p>\n
It was not immediately clear when the video was recorded, but the footage has circulated for weeks on conservative-leaning social media accounts.<\/p>\n
Omar was born in Somalia and fled the country\u2019s civil war at age 8, later spending four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the United States in 1995.<\/p>\n
She became an American citizen in 2000 and has served in Congress since 2019.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s latest post quickly gained traction online, with supporters including conservative activist Laura Loomer amplifying it across social media platforms.<\/p>\n
The former president\u2019s comments come amid renewed scrutiny of Omar\u2019s record in Congress and her frequent clashes with House Republicans.<\/p>\n
It is not the first time in recent months that Trump has suggested Omar should be removed from the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, I met the head of Somalia, did you know that?\u201d Trump told reporters in the Oval Office in September.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I suggested that maybe he\u2019d like to take her back,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe said, \u2018I don\u2019t want her.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The exchange echoed comments Trump made during his first term, when he accused Omar and other members of the so-called \u201cSquad\u201d of \u201ctelling us how to run our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Omar has often been one of Trump\u2019s most frequent critics, accusing him of using race and religion as political weapons.<\/p>\n
Her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the latest remarks.<\/p>\n
Speaking Friday on \u201cThe Dean Obeidallah Show,\u201d Omar<\/p>\n
dismissed talk of deportation or citizenship challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no worry,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t know how they\u2019d take away my citizenship and, like, deport me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I don\u2019t even know why that\u2019s such a scary threat,\u201d Omar added. \u201cI\u2019m not the 8-year-old who escaped war anymore. I\u2019m grown, my kids are grown. I could go live wherever I want if I wanted to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a weird thing to wake up every single day to bring that into every single conversation \u2014 \u2018we\u2019re gonna deport Ilhan,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Omar faced new calls for her removal from office and even the revocation of her U.S. citizenship last month after she reposted a video online that accused Kirk of denying \u201cthe genocide happening in Palestine\u201d and spreading \u201cracist dog whistles.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a separate interview with broadcaster Mehdi Hasan, she described herself as \u201cmortified\u201d by Kirk\u2019s murder and expressed empathy for his wife and two children, but also criticized his positions on race relations and gun rights, particularly in the aftermath of George Floyd\u2019s death in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
Her remarks drew immediate\u00a0backlash\u00a0from Republicans, who accused Omar of downplaying the tragedy and fueling political division. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), whose office is near Omar\u2019s on Capitol Hill, introduced a resolution to censure her and remove her from House committees. That motion failed by a single vote, 214\u2013213, after four Republicans joined Democrats to table it.<\/p>\n
Mace has since gone further, suggesting Omar\u2019s U.S. citizenship should be revoked. \u201cWe would love to see you deported back to Somalia next,\u201d Mace wrote in a social media post. Others online echoed similar calls, citing longstanding allegations that Omar committed immigration and marriage fraud.<\/p>\n
Adding to the controversy is renewed attention to Omar\u2019s late father, Nur Omar Mohamed. Somali-language obituaries described him as a senior officer in the regime of dictator Siad Barre, which ruled Somalia for decades and carried out atrocities against rival ethnic groups.<\/p>\n
Fact-checking organizations like Snopes and Politifact disputed those claims in 2019, describing Nur as a \u201cteacher trainer.\u201d<\/p>\n
JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has voted\u00a050\u201346\u00a0to\u00a0terminate\u00a0former President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs on Canadian imports, marking a significant shift in U.S.-Canada trade relations. The vote has sparked a heated debate, particularly among those who strongly supported Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d trade policies.<\/p>\n
Several Republicans joined Democrats in voting to repeal the tariffs, drawing the ire of many conservative lawmakers. Among those who sided with the opposition were Senators Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, and Rand Paul, all of whom broke ranks with their party\u2019s stance on trade. Their votes have become a flashpoint for criticism from Trump supporters.<\/p>\n
Despite the Senate\u2019s vote, the bill still faces a major hurdle: it must clear the House of Representatives before becoming law. However, given the political landscape, it\u2019s highly unlikely that the measure will pass the House, where the Republican majority remains more sympathetic to Trump\u2019s trade policies.<\/p>\n
The tariffs, which were a key part of Trump\u2019s strategy to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. and address the trade imbalance with Canada, were intended to protect American industries from cheap imports. Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d approach to trade has been credited with reshaping the global trading landscape, and many of his supporters view the repeal as a step backward.<\/p>\n
Proponents of the tariffs argue that they were necessary to protect U.S. workers and strengthen the domestic economy. They see the vote to eliminate them as a blow to the legacy of Trump\u2019s administration, which emphasized American self-reliance and the protection of U.S. jobs through tough trade measures.<\/p>\n
Opponents of the tariffs, however, argue that they were detrimental to American consumers, raising prices on goods and disrupting supply chains. They contend that dismantling the tariffs could help reduce costs for U.S. businesses and consumers, and restore smoother trade relations with Canada.<\/p>\n
As the debate continues, Trump\u2019s supporters remain adamant that his \u201cAmerica First\u201d trade stance remains essential for U.S. prosperity. While this Senate vote may signal a shift in policy, the former president\u2019s influence on trade and economic policy is far from over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
