Ilhan Omar Slams Trump Over Criticism Of Her: 'Continues To Be a National Embarrassment'

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar slammed President Donald Trump following his most recent criticism of her during a rally in Pennsylvania.

She was making reference to a passage of Trump's speech, when he said she should be removed from the country.

"Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but b---h," Trump said.

"We ought to get her the hell out," he added, to which the crowd began to sing "send her back."

In a social media publication, Omar said Trump is "obsessed" with her, calling it "beyond weird."

"He needs serious help. Since he has no economic policies to tout, he's resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead. He continues to be a national embarrassment," she added.

Trump has repeatedly criticized Omar throughout the years, with the feud resurfacing over the past days since the president began targeting the Somali community in Minnesota, of which the lawmaker is part and represents.

Speaking during a cabinet meeting last week, Trump said: "I don't want them in our country... Let them go back to where they came from." He also referred to Somali immigrants as "garbage," according to public remarks and posted clips referenced by Omar.

Omar also reacted to those comments, publishing an op-ed in The New York Times saying he has "demonized and spread conspiracy theories about the Somali community and about me personally."
