Ilhan Omar Says Trump’s Racist Tirade Rooted in “Failing” Presidency
In a recent New York Times essay, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar criticized President Trump for his bigoted attacks against Somali Americans, claiming his behavior is a result of his administration’s failings. Trump dismissed Somali Americans as “garbage” and called for Omar’s removal from the country, following similar remarks against other minority groups throughout his presidency. Omar emphasized the resilience of the Somali American community while expressing concern about the potential consequences of Trump’s rhetoric, noting that his promises of economic prosperity have not materialized. She concluded by stating that the community will not be intimidated by Trump’s words.
