Ilhan Omar calls Trump’s anti-Somali tirade ‘completely disgusting’

Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar has called President Trump's anti-Somali remarks 'completely disgusting', emphasizing that such hateful rhetoric can lead to dangerous actions. Omar, a Somalia-born Democrat, responded to Trump's comments on CBS's Face the Nation, where he referred to Somalis as 'garbage' and suggested they should be sent back to Somalia. She highlighted the importance of recognizing the potential consequences of such dehumanizing language. Trump's remarks came amid increased immigration enforcement in the Minneapolis-St Paul area, where most Somalis in Minnesota reside. Omar also criticized Trump for resorting to racist attacks as his campaign promises, including economic prosperity, have not materialized.
