Ilhan Omar
The Public Record
Ilhan Omar is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Minnesota's 5th congressional district since January 3, 2019. A member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, she is one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Omar has been an advocate for progressive policies, including healthcare reform, immigration reform, and social justice issues. She has gained national attention for her outspoken views on foreign policy and domestic issues, often addressing the needs of marginalized communities.
What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties.
I urge all my colleagues to uphold the separation of powers and pass this resolution.
I think it is also really important for us to remember that this kind of hateful rhetoric and this level of dehumanizing can lead to dangerous actions by people who listen to the President.
These are Americans that he is calling garbage, and we feel like there is an unhealthy obsession that he has on the Somali community, and an unhealthy and creepy obsession that he has with me.
If that is the case, if money from U.S. tax dollars is being sent to help with terrorism in Somalia, we want to know.
If there was a linkage in the money that they have stolen going to terrorism, then that is a failure of the FBI and our court system in not figuring that out.
This kind of hateful rhetoric and this level of dehumanizing can lead to dangerous actions by people who listen to the president.
It's disgusting. It's completely disgusting. These are Americans that he is calling garbage.
The public deserves to know who enabled Epstein, who looked the other way, and who’s still being protected.
The Senate-passed bill is a betrayal of working people and massively fails to address the urgent needs of the American people.
There is nothing more f–ked up than to pretend that his words and actions haven’t been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.
There are a lot of people who are talking about him [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate. These people are full of s—t.
I refuse to join the chorus that changes the history of what is on the record from this man.
But there is no legacy to honor. It was a legacy filled with bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy.
You know, it is a tragedy that Charlie Kirk was killed in that way. I feel for his widow and his children.
I would have hoped by now that they have learned one thing: They are not going to succeed in silencing my voice.
What that displays for not just Americans, but folks on an international platform is that our country is being led by idiots, and that is not something that we should be comfortable with as Americans, and that’s not something that should…
That is embarrassing for us as a country, because these are people who are elected to positions of leadership.
I’ve been the target of the president in the most vile, bigoted, racist ways that you could imagine, and I’ve had to have full police detail because of that.
