Omar has plenty of scandals of her own to deal with. Not she’s projecting on others.
And Ilhan Omar stuck her foot in her mouth with one unfounded accusation.
Omar’s Inflammatory Accusations Spark Fierce Backlash
Rep. Ilhan Omar ignited a firestorm with her latest attack on President Trump, labeling him a p*dophile and implying he deserves execution, all in response to his criticisms of massive fraud schemes in her home state of Minnesota.
The Minnesota Democrat took to X to fire off her remarks after Trump highlighted over $19 billion in alleged theft tied to the Somali community during a Fox Business interview.
Omar posted, “The leader of the P*dophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files,” alongside a clip of the segment. She followed up with, “At least in Somalia they execute p*dophiles not elect them.”
Such extreme rhetoric from Omar, a vocal Trump antagonist and Squad member who fled Somalia as a child, only amplified questions about her judgment amid ongoing scrutiny of her own financial dealings.
Critics Slam Omar’s Reckless Rhetoric and Personal Scandals
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wasted no time ripping into Omar, advising her to “keep her mouth shut” while pointing to her skyrocketing net worth—from zero to potentially $30 million in just a few years—and her husband’s business ventures currently under federal investigation.
Comer, appearing on NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich Tonight, declared, “Of all the people to make any comment, Ilhan Omar is the one person in Congress who probably needs to keep her mouth shut.”
He tied her outburst to the broader Minnesota fraud issues, noting, “It’s really bad the amount of Somali fraud in all the different welfare programs. So Ilhan Omar really needs to keep her mouth shut.”
Comer also echoed Trump’s sentiment that if Omar prefers Somalia’s harsh policies, “she should go back to Somalia.” This retort underscores how Omar’s provocative statements often invite scrutiny of her rapid wealth accumulation, largely through her spouse’s firms like Rose Lake Capital and a winery.
Omar’s Epstein Claims Fall Flat Amid Lack of Evidence
Omar’s jabs referenced Trump’s mentions in the Jeffrey Epstein files, but as critics quickly noted, there’s no substantiated proof of wrongdoing on his part—contrasting sharply with the tangible investigations into fraud and finances swirling around her circle.
The episode highlights Omar’s pattern of escalating political feuds with unsubstantiated barbs, drawing rebukes that redirect attention to her own vulnerabilities in a state plagued by welfare scams linked to her community.
As the dust settles, it serves as another reminder of the risks in her unfiltered approach to public discourse.
