Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., sharply criticized "Squad" Rep. Ilhan Omar as a "complete fraud" on Saturday, while discussing her criticism of fraud investigations and scrutiny over a major discrepancy in her financial disclosures.
"Not only should her accountant be fired, but that girl should be fired and she does not deserve to be in Congress," Emmer told "The Big Weekend Show."
"Quite frankly, if she is discovered to be involved in any of this fraud personally, that she benefited from it, even by her actions of promoting it and trying to resist investigations, she should be held accountable to the fullest extent," he added.
Emmer’s remarks specifically zeroed in on the controversy surrounding Omar’s financial disclosures, which recently drew scrutiny after a filing appeared to dramatically overstate her net worth.
Omar's office has denied that she is a millionaire and blamed the discrepancy on a major accounting error after a congressional financial disclosure listed her assets as high as $30 million, prompting questions from Republicans and a congressional watchdog.
An amended filing reviewed by The Wall Street Journal shows Omar and her husband’s assets were between $18,004 and $95,000, a sharp drop from an earlier disclosure that estimated their holdings between $6 million and $30 million.

So do something about it.
She’s above the law. For various reasons.
Okay, for the last two years or more, virtually everyone agrees that Cong. Omar is a liar and an cheater who has broken laws.
Therefore ...What?
This is a ‘Cliffhanger’ which appears ready to be stretched out and Slow Walked for the rest of her congressional term(s). Who will be brave enough to push it to the next level of actual indictment and/or prosecution?
**Will the Real American Patriot please stand up?
“that girl should be fired and she does not deserve to be in Congress,”
“That girl” is a nice touch.
The establishment is scared stiff of the towel head as they’d be accused of prejudice. In reality she should be arrested and deported.
You do know he was the founder of the Somali caucus? He is conflicted.
Right, she’s a triple-word-score. Black, Female, and Mooslimb.
She said they dramatically overstate her net worth.
