(Just the News) — President Donald Trump said that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., should return to Somalia in response to a video of her declaring the country her home while speaking in Somali.
“She should go back!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
His comments came in response to her saying “Somalia is our home. It is our heart. We always think about Somalia.”
Omar came to the U.S. years ago and is a naturalized citizen. Minnesota has, in recent decades, become the residence of tens of thousands of Somalians due to resettlement.
The far-left lawmaker herself, however, has long faced accusations of dual loyalty to Somalia.
