President Trump has lashed out at Rep. Ilhan Omar after House Republicans failed to get her censured for a Charlie Kirk reaction. Trump headed onto Truth Social to provide some racist dog-whistles. In one post—alongside a graphic naming alleged Medicaid-fraud defendants in Minnesota—the president asked, “Does Ilhan Omar know these people? Are they from her wonderfully managed Home Country of Somalia?” In a second, posted an hour later, he went further, ranting that Omar’s “Country of Somalia is plagued” by corruption and violence, adding, “Wasn’t she the one that married her brother in order to gain Citizenship??? What SCUM we have in our country.” The MAGA-driven censure resolution criticized Somalian-American politician Omar for reposting an X video in which Kirk was described as a “reprehensible human being” who was “spewing racist dog whistles” in his “last, dying words.” House Republicans failed by one vote to censure Omar over the social media repost she made about Charlie Kirk’s death. A separate GOP push to strip Omar of committees is still pending.
