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

At a Pennsylvania rally, Trump repeated false claims against Rep. Ilhan Omar and linked immigration to economic strain while the crowd revived the 'send her back' chant.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump used a Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania Affordability rally to attack Rep. Ilhan Omar, prompting the crowd to revive the 2019-style 'send her back' chant.
  • Amid an affordability-focused agenda, Trump folded affordability into a hardline immigration pitch tying migration to economic strain and the White House said rallies will resume before the 2026 midterms.
  • Mocking Omar directly, Trump said `Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is`, repeated a baseless `married her brother` allegation, and disparaged Somalia with revived `shithole countries` language.
  • Omar responded on X by calling Trump a `national embarrassment`, amid threats and reports of ICE strike teams targeting Somali residents in Minnesota, prompting security concerns.
  • The remarks could shape the 2026 midterm climate by energizing voters, as Trump is expected to continue using immigration as an economic argument while Democrats spotlight his revived `shithole countries` language.
