President Trump ripped Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) during a rally in her district in Minneapolis on Thursday, accusing the freshman congresswoman of hating America. In torrent of attacks, the president accused Omar of speaking favorably about Al Qaeda, called her an "America-hating socialist," and questioned how Minnesota voters could allow her to serve in Congress. "Congresswoman Omar is a America-hating socialist. She minimized the September 11th attack on our homeland, where far more than 3,000 people died. Saying, 'some people did something,' " Trump said, referring to remarks Omar made before a Muslim-American group which Republicans have argued minimized...

National Rifle Association (NRA) spokeswoman Dana Loesch ripped Rep. Ilhan Omar after she blamed the gun rights group for the deaths inside a Virginia Beach municipal building on Friday.

We need to immediately confront the power of the NRA and end the epidemic of gun violence in this country.” DeWayne Craddock, the...

Vice President Pence renewed his calls on Friday for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) to be removed from her post on the House Foreign Affairs Committee over her comments about Israel and Venezuela. “Ilhan Omar has made statements, anti-Semitic comments against our most cherished ally, Israel, that ought to be rejected by every American," Pence said in an interview on Fox News. "And frankly the fact that very recently, she’s been trying to blame the United States of America for the deprivation and the poverty brought on by the dictatorship in Venezuela tells me … Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has no place...

exandria Ocasio-Cortez ‏ Verified account @AOC 6m6 minutes ago More Members of Congress have a duty to respond to the President’s explicit attack today. @IlhanMN’s life is in danger. For our colleagues to be silent is to be complicit in the outright, dangerous targeting of a member of Congress.
