"Omar on Sunday said she and other Somalis were sickened by his comments. It's disgusting, it's completely disgusting, Omar said. These are Americans that he is calling garbage. And we feel like there is an unhealthy obsession on the Somali community and an unhealthy and creepy obsession on me. She continued, saying it could lead to violence against Somalis. This kind of hateful rhetoric and level of dehumanizing can lead to dangerous actions, Omar said."
"Trump on Wednesday said he did not want more Somalis like Omar whom he called garbage and a terrible person to come into the U.S. They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you, the president said. Some will say that is not politically correct.' I don't care. Their country is no good for a reason."
President Trump said he did not want more Somalis like Ilhan Omar to enter the United States, calling them 'garbage' and asserting, 'Their country is no good for a reason.' Ilhan Omar called the comments disgusting and said Americans of Somali descent are being dehumanized, warning that such rhetoric can lead to violence. A New York Times report alleged some Minnesota Somalis orchestrated a fraud scheme that stole more than $1 billion in taxpayer money. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faced criticism over the scam. House Republicans and the U.S. Treasury examined possible links between the fraud and terrorist activity. Omar said stolen funds should be investigated and perpetrators prosecuted.
