Ilhan Omar tells Donald Trump: 'You can’t MuslimBan us from Congress!’
Rep. Ilhan Omar on Sunday told Donald Trump he can’t “#MuslimBan” people from Congress after the president retweeted a story claiming that Minnesota Democrats were taking steps in trying to remove her from Congress.
— Ilhan Omar March 17, 2019For most of Sunday, Trump busily tweeted attacks at his critics and retweeted far-right commentary, including a post by one of his loyal supporters condemning Meghan McCain for insisting that her late father Sen. John McCain was more loved than the president. The story that Trump retweeted about Omar focussed on the latest developments surrounding the Minnesota lawmaker after she was accused of spreading anti-Semitic tropes. Last month, Omar apologized for posting tweets which suggested that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee bought influence over U.S. politicians after Democratic leaders condemned her statements as “deeply offensive.”
The controversy has led some Minnesota Democratic party leaders last week to hold talks about finding a candidate to take on Omar in next year’s primary election. However, no one has reportedly stepped forward yet to run against the congresswoman.
