US EditionCarville criticizes Ilhan Omar’s remarks about ‘white men,’ suggests she may not align with Democratic Party values
- Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar from Minnesota faced renewed criticism after an eight-year-old 2018 interview clip resurfaced online in May 2025.
- In a 2018 interview with Al Jazeera, Omar expressed concern that white men pose a significant threat in the United States, a statement that led Democratic strategist James Carville to publicly criticize her remarks.
- Carville suggested Omar start her own political party, criticizing her approach as divisive, while Vice President JD Vance reshared the clip on X calling her language "genocidal" and a "disgrace."
- Omar defended her remarks by referencing a 2023 Anti-Defamation League report stating white supremacists caused 78 percent of extremist-related murders and accused critics of bad-faith smears regarding Gaza.
- The controversy highlights ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party over race and political rhetoric, reflecting broader national debates about the impact of past statements on party unity.
