Donald Trump again targeted Ilhan Omar, elected Democrat of Minnesota born in Somalia, the day after the failure of a republican resolution aimed at censor it for remarks related to the death of the conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Asked on board Air Force One, returning from a trip to the United Kingdom, the president said: “I think she should be dismissed. She is horrible. »»
Does she come from Somalia? How is it going there? Do they have a president? Advice? A police? I love these people who come from a place where there is nothing at all and who then tell us how to manage our country. “He added:” If she was censored, that’s fine. If she is dismissed, it’s even better. »»
The day before, the House of Representatives had rejected in a voice (214 against 213) the motion carried by the Republican Nancy Mace, who reproached Omar for having resting a video qualifying Kirk “repugnant” and for having criticized his positions on arms, slavery and George Floyd. Four Republican elected officials, including Cory Mills (Florida) and Tom McClintock (California), joined the Democrats by invoking the defense of the first amendment on freedom of expression.
On his Truth Social network, Trump has redoubled attacks, presenting Somalia as a country “undermined by poverty, corruption and terrorism” and reviving the unproven accusation according to which Omar has married his brother to obtain American citizenship. This offensive is a broader strategy of the Republican camp, which multiplies initiatives to sanction those he accuses of “dirty” Charlie Kirk, with other censorship proposals and the idea of a special commission on “the assault on the radical left against America”.
Ilhan Omar, she praised the rejection of the motion and thanked his colleagues for the defense of public freedoms.
