"President Donald Trump launched into a rant Wednesday attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and other Somali immigrants, saying they should be thrown the hell out of our country and not allowed to serve in Congress, an unhinged moment that revealed not just the president's animosity towards a group of Americans, but the cowardice and complicity of the cronies gathered around him from Congress and his cabinet."
"The above video clip is just two-and-a-half minutes long but contains multiple examples of such comments: Somalia is not even a nation but just people walking around killing each other. He accused Omar of marrying her brother, a baseless rumor that lacks supporting evidence and one that she vociferously denied as absolutely false and ridiculous when it first circulated around 2016. Omar shouldn't be allowed to be a congresswomanand she should be thrown the hell out of our country."
"Most of those people meaning the Somali immigrants have destroyed Minnesota and made it a hellhole. The Somalians should be out of here. They have destroyed our country. Somalia is considered by many to be the worst country on Earth. I don't know. I haven't been there. I won't be there any time soon. I hope. But what Somalia what the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. Omar should not be and her friends shouldn't be allowed"
President Donald Trump aggressively attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar and Somali immigrants, calling for them to be thrown out of the country and barred from serving in Congress. He labeled Somali immigrants as contributing nothing, claimed they destroyed Minnesota and called Somalia "the worst country on Earth." He repeated a baseless rumor that Omar married her brother, which Omar previously denied. Trump defended his remarks during an Oval Office Q&A. Reporters and critics characterized the comments as racist. The episode included multiple inflammatory statements over a brief video clip and prompted criticism of lawmakers and cabinet members who remained alongside him.
