Trump slams Omar and Somalia after House censure fails

President Trump slammed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Somalia on Thursday, a day after a resolution to formally reprimand the Minnesota Democrat and remove her from committee assignments failed in the House. 

“I think she’s terrible. I think she should be impeached. I think she’s terrible,” the president told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday. 

“So how are they doing? How’s your government? Do they have a president? Do they have a council? Do they have anything? Do they have police? I love these people,” Trump added. “They come from a place with nothing, nothing, no, anything, and then they tell us how to run our country.” 

“If she got censured, that’s great, if she got impeached, that’s even better,” he added. 

Trump’s remarks about Omar, who was born in Somalia before her family came to the U.S. in the 1990s, came after the House voted to table the resolution, brought by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), to rebuke the Minnesota lawmaker. Mace alleged Omar “smeared Charlie Kirk and implied he was to blame for his own murder” in retweeting a video on social media.

On Wednesday, the House voted 214-213 to table the resolution. Four GOP lawmakers joined the Democrats to defeat the resolution. 

“Thank you to my colleagues for having my back and not furthering lies on the House floor. Appreciate them safeguarding first amendment protections and the usage of the censure,” Omar said on social media after the vote. “Finally some sanity in the House.” 

Trump, who has gone after Omar’s Somali roots before, also hammered Somalia on Thursday. 

“Ilhan Omar’s Country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central Government control, persistent Poverty, Hunger, Resurgent Terrorism, Piracy, decades of Civil War, Corruption, and pervasive Violence,” the president wrote in a Thursday evening post on Truth Social. 

Trump said that “70 percent of the population lives in extreme Poverty, and widespread Food Insecurity. Somalia is consistently ranked among the World’s Most Corrupt Countries, including Bribery, Embezzlement and a Dysfunctional Government.” 

The Hill has reached out to Omar’s office for comment.

Trump then accused Omar of marrying her brother to get U.S. citizenship. Omar has long denied these accusations. 

“All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America! P.S. Wasn’t she the one that married her brother in order to gain Citizenship??? What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it,” the president said.
