Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) ripped President Donald Trump on Sunday — saying he has an “unhealthy and creepy obsession” with her and other Somalis living in the U.S.

The Minnesota lawmaker, during an appearance on Face the Nation on CBS, was asked by host Margaret Brennan about the president’s comments earlier this week. Trump on Wednesday said he did not want more Somalis like Omar — whom he called “garbage” and a “terrible person” — to come into the U.S.

“They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you,” the president said. “Some will say that is not ‘politically correct.’” I don’t care. Their country is no good for a reason.”

Omar on Sunday said she and other Somalis were sickened by his comments. “It’s disgusting, it’s completely disgusting,” Omar said. “These are Americans that he is calling garbage. And we feel like there is an unhealthy obsession on the Somali community and an unhealthy and creepy obsession on me.” She continued, saying it could lead to violence against Somalis. “This kind of hateful rhetoric and level of dehumanizing can lead to dangerous actions,” Omar said.

1. Nothing new from the Orange Menace

He will use any opportunity to call someone names. It's truly unfortunate that some bad apples in the Somali community gives him justification to do so. Hopefully the community will come together and denounce the fraud those bad apples engaged in.
