Ilhan Omar responds to Trump's racist attack: He spreads the disease of hate

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) responds to President Donald Trump making a racially divisive attack against her at a campaign rally in Moon Township, Pennsylvania.
He also denigrated the Minnesota congresswoman in her home state last month as "a horrible woman who hates our country" and insinuated that she may not have won her recent primary election.
"Let's check the mail-in vote," Trump told the crowd, adding. "Where are the people that would vote for her?"
Last summer, in a series of racist tweets, Trump told Omar and the other members of the "Squad" who have been outspoken against his policies -- Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib -- to "go back" to their supposed home countries, though they were born in the United States and Omar is a naturalized citizen.
Following his tweets, Trump's supporters at a campaign rally in North Carolina chanted "send her back," which was directed at Omar, as the President stood silently. He later claimed to disavow the chants.
Trump has also promoted false smears against Omar and questioned her patriotism, highlighting some of her controversial comments on issues including Israel, law enforcement and the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Trump, who has his own history of pushing anti-Semitic tropes, criticized Omar for tweets last year that were widely condemned as anti-Semitic, which she later apologized for.

Trump’s mother and grandfather both came to USA as immigrants. So did 2 of his 3 wives.

Please, CNN, continue to put Rep. Omar in the spotlight in the coming few weeks. The people of her district need to be reminded of what a despicable creature she is, and maybe they will vote her out. In fact, I am predicting it.

[lemondishonor]

I can’t believe that this woman is trusted to hold a position of power in a country that she hates. She needs to go to her country and work to uplift it.

[ekofoyurittyt]

She said she will make sure trump doesn’t win her state and the presidency guess what she done it

[PumpkinHead]

We are a nation of Immigrants. We need a President that will unite us not divide us.

[Islandswamp]

I would point out that his wife is an immigrant.

[michaelaj]

Damn... she went in. 😂😂😂 She has every right to and more! she is a duly elected member of Congress and most importantly an American citizen.

[lewis]

I don't know why she's so upset. It was just "one person doing something to another person."

[jireepugh]

I'll tell you one thing, the United States isn't so United.

[lindaj]

“Where are the people that would vote for her?” - they’re in Minnesota, getting ready to vote Trump out.

[HLLau-rkod]

She should say she won her position without the help of the Russians.

[emmasuzanne]

Rep. Omar still stays so calm and respectful. Well done.

[davidnewton]

I'm confused isn't his wife an immigrants and also where is she on his racist Remarks Was she the one to say she supports people that do not bully other people Let me stop I forgot they're all hypocrites.

[geniuscorrection]

This is the showdown I always wanted. Ilhan Omar beat that little-minded baby man.

[mariamufs]

Trump supporters crying in the comments you lost guys no more Trump 😂😂

[citizendame]

Future presidential candidates should be required to take & pass a psychological test, a drug test & must pass the same citizenship test that immigrants must pass & a constitutional law test prior to becoming eligible as a candidate as president.

[miloteagan]

Ask him how Germany was when his ancestors fled to America.

[hopegilbert]

Thank you Rrepresentative Omar. Our country NEEDS more representatives like you.

[Dylanbolton]

“We’re gonna win the state of Minnesota because of her”

How’d that go bud?

If anyone says, “I love God, ” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
