Omar: ‘I Resent’ Anyone Who Says Trump ‘Is Not Racist’ — We Have ‘Fascist in the White House’
Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said she resented anyone claiming President Donald Trump was not a racist on Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Live.”
Omar said, “I mean this man is a white supremacist, so no surprise that he has ideas of feeling that Somalis are worthless and having a hard time accepting the fact that, you know, a district that is 65% white can elect Somali refugee. But the truth is, 78% of them voted for me to come to Congress. And not only are Minnesotans welcoming of refugees, they have sent one to Washington to represent them. We are very clear that in Minnesota, we are greater than hate. That is why he didn’t win Minnesota in 2016 and why he won’t it this year.”
