"It's really upsetting to see the president use this language, attacking the Governor of Minnesota, even going after Somali Refugees. On Thursday, in a wild tirade on Truth Social, the president called Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) seriously retarded, while railing against Somali gangs who are roving the streets looking for prey in Minnesota. He went on to baselessly allege that Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was in the country illegally."
