In June 2025, rumors abounded that Isra Hirsi, daughter of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, had posted "death to the colonial empire" from Los Angeles to Rafah in Gaza on an Instagram story. Instagram stories are posts that disappear after 24 hours unless the accounts that post them highlight them on their profile page.
For example, X user End Wokeness shared a screen capture of the supposed Instagram story alongside a photograph of Hirsi with her mother Omar (archived):
As of this writing, the End Wokeness post had gained 10,000 and 660,000 views. The screen capture appeared on other X posts, including one by far-right political activist Laura Loomer (archived), who said Hirsi, who is Black, wanted "violence in the LA riots and calling for the end of Western Civilization." Another accused Hirsi of hating her own country, the U.S., and of wanting "a race war" (archived).
Further, Snopes users searched the website seeking to confirm the veracity of these claims. In addition, conservative news outlet The Daily Caller published a report making these same allegations.
However, due to the nature of Instagram stories and the fact that more than 24 hours had passed since Hirsi supposedly posted it, Snopes could not confirm she had indeed done so. We contacted her via Instagram direct messages to ask whether she had and we will update the story should she respond.
However, we were able to confirm that the Instagram story Hirsi allegedly reposted did exist. It was created by Instagram user @__public_library, whose bio gave a first name — Amanda — self-describing as a writer, care worker, mother and a "revert" — which is how some converts to Islam describe themselves.

LOL…”Unpacking the claim…”
Just like….so and so “claims without evidence…”
When you see these buzz words you know you don’t have to read another sentence.
The daughter is FUGLY!
Someone needs to unpack Snopes.
They couldn’t even figure out a way to do a fake de-bunking.
IOW, this is just typical Snopes shilly-shally damage control for some jihadist / leftist POS.
Hey, it’s Snopes. They will twist and turn every which way to make a Democrat look good.
If an obviously drunk Kamala Harris should kick a puppy to death on live TV tomorrow, Snopes would say: “Yes that happened. But only because Ms. Harris thought the puppy had rabies. So Ms. Harris wanted to put the poor thing out of its misery.”
“And by the way,” Snopes would add, “Ms. Harris wasn’t drunk, as some conservative sites have claimed. She was just very tired from doing many hours of charity work.”
When I see either the word “Snopes” or “Yahoo”, I skip it. Had to double skip this one
Daughter of a Democrat in congress posts the Democrat party line. Is it a scandal because she was a tad less diplomatic than her mother?
You feel very sleepy. And words don’t mean what you think they mean.
It looks like Illhand copulates with goats or camels.
Not bloody likely, since he is as queer as a $3 bill.
She is a turd from the biggest hole on the planet. She belongs back in that anus of African.
