Ilhan Omar condemns Donald Trump’s racism in scathing New York Times op-ed
Rep. Ilhan Omar on Thursday fired a new salvo at President Donald Trump over his racist attacks on her and three other progressive Democratic congresswomen of color.
“Throughout history, demagogues have used state power to target minority communities and political enemies, often culminating in state violence,” Omar wrote. “Today, we face that threat in our own country, where the president of the United States is using the influence of our highest office to mount racist attacks on communities across the land.”
Trump, condemned in a House vote for his racist comments, said the congresswomen should “go back” to where they came from. All of the lawmakers are American citizens and only Omar was not born in the U.S. Omar railed against Trump for “weaponizing division” and pitting religious minorities against each other in order to benefit the elite and distract from more pressing issues.
