'This is a fake emergency! Donald Trump is lying about the border in order to build his monument to racism,' Omar tweeted on Wednesday.
Democrat Ilhan Omar slammed Donald Trump for declaring a “fake emergency” in order to build his long-promised border wall between the U.S. and Mexico — a structure she referred to as the president’s “monument to racism.”
Rep. Omar immediately responded, accusing Trump of “lying” about a national emergency in order to get the necessary funds to build the border wall. The president has been pledging to build the 2,000 mile-long barrier since he first hit the 2016 campaign trail. “It’s without a doubt the reflection of what white nationalism is doing to our country,” Omar wrote on Twitter. “As a country, we have to acknowledge that this is how people are being treated here and decide that we are better and we must do better.”
