Rep. Ilhan Omar accuses President Donald Trump of ‘deflecting’

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota accused President Donald Trump of “perversion” after he targeted her in a Truth Social post on Monday.

Trump said in part of his blog post, “The Department of Justice and congress are looking at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who left Somalia with nothing, and her wealth is now said to be more than $44 million. Time will reveal everything.”

The left-wing lawmaker responded in a post on X.

“Sorry Trump, your support is collapsing and you’re panicking. Meanwhile, you’re rambling on about your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of ‘investigations’ have turned up nothing. Get your followers out of Minnesota,” she wrote.

Before mentioning Ilhan Omar in the “Truth Social Social” post, Trump also said: “I’m sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He wasn’t involved in that area, but he knows and likes a lot of the people there. Tom is tough but fair, and he will report directly to me. Separately, a major investigation is underway regarding the massive $20 billion welfare fraud that occurred in Minnesota, which is at least partially responsible for the ongoing violent organized protests.” In the streets.”

Omar calls for abolishing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it,” she declared in part of a Sunday post on X.

In a post published by Truth Social on January 18, Trump said that Omar should either be imprisoned or returned to Somalia.

“There’s a $19 billion Somalia scam in Minnesota. Fake Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who’s always complaining and hates the United States, knows all there is to know. She should be in prison, or even worse, sent back to Somalia, which is one of the absolute worst countries in the world. She can help make Somalia great again!” The president announced in the post.
