Ilhan Omar, a Democrat, represents Minnesota in the U.S. House.
President Trump went after me yet again this week: “How about Omar?” he said at a rally in Pennsylvania. “We’re going to win the state of Minnesota because of her.” He then launched into a xenophobic, false attack implying I wasn’t American. “She’s telling us how to run our country. How did you do where you came from?” he asked the crowd. (For the record, I fled civil war when I was 8 years old and am a naturalized U.S. citizen who serves our nation in Congress.)
