Analysis: Trump rationalizes his anti-Ilhan Omar tweet that led to threats by saying she's 'extremely unpatriotic.' He didn't explain what he meant by saying 'she's got a way about her that's very, very bad, I think, for our country.'
People gather outside Nuss Truck and Equipment in Burnsville, Minn., where President Trump spoke on Monday. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 16 at 11:09 AM While in Minnesota on Monday for an event touting his administration’s tax policies, President Trump took time to speak with local television network KSTP about one of the state’s newest member of Congress.
"Any second thoughts about that tweet and the way it was produced and put together?” Hauser asked Trump. The comment about Israel has an obvious genesis. Earlier this year, comments Omar made about the power of advocates for Israel in Washington were criticized as anti-Semitic, including by other Democrats. At the time, Republicans including Trump argued that she was embodying a broader anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party. Trump said she should resign from Congress.
“Very, very — and find out, how did they do in their country? Just ask them, how did they do? Did they do well?” Trump said. “Were they succeeding? Just ask that question. Somebody would say, ‘Oh, that’s terrible that he brings that up.’ But that’s okay, I don’t mind. I’ll bring it up.
When Fox News’s Jeanine Pirro disparaged Omar earlier this year as perhaps being more loyal to “sharia law” than the Constitution, she was removed from her weekend show for several weeks. Trump publicly lobbied for Pirro to be reinstated.
