SOMEONE SOUNDS NERVOUS: Ilhan Omar Says ‘Somalis Have Always Seen Themselves as a Fabric of This Nation’ (VIDEO)

Rep. Ilhan Omar – Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Following the explosive allegations that millions of taxpayer dollars from Minnesota are flowing into the hands of terrorists in Somalia, President Trump announced that he is terminating temporary protected status for Somali immigrants in the state.

There are so many Somali immigrants in Minnesota that it has become something that the state is now known for, especially in cities like Minneapolis.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, the far-left who represents the state’s 5th congressional district, seems to be upset about Trump’s directive, maybe even a little nervous. She is now talking about Somalis being the fabric of the country.

Isn’t it funny how leftists start talking patriotically and with national pride suddenly in a situation like this? Why does Omar even want to be here? She does nothing but complain about how awful America is.

KMSP News has part of Omar’s response:

Rep. Omar joined other Minnesota leaders on Monday for a news conference responding to President Trump’s declaration that he was terminating Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota.

“It is unfortunate that we are led by a president who does not understand the laws of this land,” said Rep. Omar. “When the president tweets as if he has the authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota, even little kids in eighth grade know that that is not an authority that the president has and can wield. Temporary status protection for Somalis expires in March of 2026, and anyone with that status has 60 days after for it to have any impact on them. And so, if you are confused, if you feel threatened, know that the law is on your side and our demented president can’t do anything about it.”

“The other unlawful thing that our lawless president is claiming to do so is to terminate that status for only one state, which he has no authority to do,” Omar added.

Here’s a clip:

She won’t allow anyone to make her feel less American? This is all so confusing. All this woman does is talk about how much she hates America, that it’s racist, sexist, etc.

Why is she so pro-America now? Where has all of this newly found reverence for America coming from? And since when have Somalis been the fabric of the nation? None of this makes any sense.
