'Idiot': Ilhan Omar fires back after Tom Emmer's explosive Somalis 'go the hell' remarks

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., hit back on Thursday, June 25, after Rep. Tom Emmer, the House Majority Whip and a fellow Minnesotan, said Somalis who do not assimilate should “go the hell back to where they came from.” Omar, who arrived in the United States as a Somali refugee, posted on X that she had “assimilated all the way to Congress” yet still faced the same criticism from Emmer. She called him an “idiot” in the post and urged supporters to back his Democratic challenger in next year’s election.
