Rep. Omar Says She Will ‘Not Be Silenced’ After Federal Agents Raid Her Home

Trump has long targeted Omar and her birthplace Somalia during his anti-immigration speeches and remarks.

Last December, while delivering an address in Pennsylvania, Trump referenced Omar during an ant-immigration tirade, claiming she does “nothing but b-tch” and arguing she comes from a county considered to be “the worst” in the world. “We ought to get her the hell out,” the President said, pausing as members of the crowd chanted “send her back.”

Omar responded by saying Trump’s “obsession” with her is “beyond weird.”

“Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead,” said Omar via social media, reacting to a clip of the President’s speech. “He continues to be a national embarrassment.”

In January, Omar was approached by a man with a syringe during a Town Hall meeting in Minneapolis. The man sprayed her with a substance before being restrained by on-site security. Lab analysis later determined the liquid contained acetic acid and identified it as a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar. Last month, a 56-year-old man named Anthony James Kazmierczak was sentenced to 14 months in prison for the assault.
