Rep. Ilhan Omar was slammed as a “racist” for recent remarks she made about white men that some said were “disgusting.”
The Democrat representing Minnesota made the inflammatory comments during an interview with Al Jazeera.
Omar casually claimed, “I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.”
In the short video clip, Omar does not provide data that white men are causing most of the deaths in the United States.
Reactions on Twitter blasted Omar for her comments about white men that were deemed “racist” by many.
Reporter Breanna Morello: “Ilhan Omar fears white American men so much that she begged us to let her into our country. She views white men as a threat BUT NOT the Somalian men who chased her out of her own country. White men are so dangerous that she found a MARRIED white man & had him leave his wife.”
Columnist David Harsanyi: “Not that many years ago, appearing on theocratic state tv to level racist smears against fellow Americans would have been frowned upon.”
Former Democratic Georgia state representative-turned-Republican Vernon Jones: “She should be removed from Congress.”
Entrepreneur Patrick Byrne: “Racist. And she has no data. Just unctuous claims.”
Writer Kyle Becker: “This isn’t ”reverse racism.’ This is racism. Straight up.”
Media consultant Hannah Cox: “We shouldn’t be encouraging more bias against any demographic of people, actually.”
Defense attorney Marina Medvin: “Aside from her being a racist she’s also a liar.”
Editor Brandon Morse: “Now take a look at this clip from Ilhan Omar, someone who often uses the fear of something to get people to support whatever she’s pushing. Here, she’s literally pushing the idea that people should fear white people.”
Author Jim Hanson: “Black men commit 3 times more violent crimes per capita than Whites But you go on with your racist self.”
Political commentator Gunther Eagleman: “Ilhan Omar is race-baiting trash who doesn’t deserve a seat in Congress.”
Market strategist Kenny Polcari: “Is she kidding? And where is the @DNC to counter this BS. She fled Somalia, why exactly? This is disgusting and she needs to be called out by the ruling party! Anything short of that is BS!”
YouTuber Nina Infinity: “For a moment, forget what she says in the end. The entire concept that she thinks the country should be more ‘fearful’ is the ISSUE. Politicians want to control you through FEAR. Whether is the ‘White man’, ‘climate change’ or ‘Covid’, it’s through FEAR that they control you.”
