Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., attacking her birth country and questioning her citizenship over remarks she has made about the character of conservative youth activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated a week ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIlhan Omar\u2019s Country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central Government control, persistent Poverty, Hunger, Resurgent Terrorism, Piracy, decades of Civil War, Corruption, and pervasive Violence,\u201d Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c70% of the population lives in extreme Poverty, and widespread Food Insecurity. Somalia is consistently ranked among the World\u2019s Most Corrupt Countries, including Bribery, Embezzlement, and a Dysfunctional Government. All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America!\u201d Trump continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115227870570776224\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">added<\/a>: \u201cP.S. Wasn\u2019t she the one that married her brother in order to gain Citizenship??? What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president\u2019s remarks come as Rep. Ilhan Omar faced an unsuccessful censure effort led by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., over disputed comments related to the assassination of Kirk. The measure failed by one vote \u2013 214-213 \u2013 after four Republicans voted with all Democrats to table it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omar reacted on X to Mace\u2019s censure move on Tuesday, saying, \u201cFun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said. Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn\u2019t find any. Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read : <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/states-news.com\/?p=2530\">WATCH: Obama Says Charlie Kirk Was \u2018Wrong,\u2019 Crowd Claps<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But she has disparaged Kirk repeatedly since his assassination, doubling down on previous remarks from last week at an event this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ilhan Omar says people who are honoring &quot;hateful&quot; Charlie Kirk are &quot;full of sh*t&quot; because they are &quot;rewriting history,&quot; gets a huge round of applause.<br><br>&quot;I do believe those of you interested in rewriting this hateful man&#39;s history are full of sh*t.&quot;<br><br>She takes his comments out of\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0fIZA6SLkw\">pic.twitter.com\/0fIZA6SLkw<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CollinRugg\/status\/1968790040626217188?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 18, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIlhan Omar didn\u2019t just make reprehensible comments about Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination.
