'Somalis don't assimilate…': GOP Whip Emmer sparks firestorm with fiery 'rant' on Minnesota migrants

U.S. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, at a Wednesday evening Capitol Hill event, said that Somali immigrants who don't assimilate "should go the hell back to where they came from" — remarks that drew sharp criticism, including from fellow Minnesota U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, herself an immigrant from Somalia. The Republican Emmer's remarks were made at a Faith and Freedom Coalition town hall on Capitol Hill, where he said immigrants who don't assimilate "should go the hell back to where they came from." He also said he was "done being careful" about being labeled a racist or an Islamophobe.
