Omar responds to Trump attacks: 'This man is a white supremacist'
By Rebecca Klar - 10/01/20 04:30 PM EDT
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said Thursday she was not surprised by President Trump’s attacks targeting her during his rally the night before in Omar's home state as the president warned of the dangers of allowing refugees to settle in Minnesota.
“I mean, this man is a white supremacist, so it’s no surprise that he has ideas or feelings that Somalis are worthless,†Omar said on MSNBC.
“Not only are Minnesotans welcoming of refugees, they have sent one to Washington to represent them,†she added, referring to herself. “We are very clear that in Minnesota we are greater than hate. That is why he didn't win Minnesota in 2016, and why he's not going to win Minnesota in 2020.â€
