Ilhan Omar criticized Donald Trump after he called for her removal from the country during a Pennsylvania rally. Omar described his remarks about her and Somali immigrants as bigoted; Trump has also made critical comments about the Somali community.
Omar responded on social media to Trump’s rally remarks, calling him “obsessed” with her and saying he was repeating “bigoted lies” because he had no economic policies to promote. At the rally, Trump said Omar should be removed from the country, and the crowd sang “send her back.”
The article says Trump’s criticism of Omar has continued over the years and resurfaced as he targeted Minnesota’s Somali community. It also reports that Omar addressed his comments in a New York Times op-ed, saying he had “demonized and spread conspiracy theories” about the community and her.
