Trump Calls Ilhan Omar "Garbage" as His Team Breaks Out in Applause

The New Republic is an established publication, but this is an opinion piece, so its institutional credibility is lower than that of a straight-news outlet. The text identifies its author and includes attributed quotations, but gives limited detail about its reporting and verification.
