President Donald Trump is calling a spade a spade.
A reporter questioned Trump on Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comments on Charlie Kirk: “Ilhan Omar, after his assassination, called Charlie Kirk a ‘reprehensible human being.’ Should she be stripped of her committee assignments?”
“I would,” Trump responded. “I think she’s a disgraceful person … loser, it’s amazing the way people vote. I know it’s people from her area, maybe, of the world … They got here and they vote her in, it’s hard to believe, but I think she’s a disgusting person.” (RELATED: Ilhan Omar Says Those Remembering Kirk For The Good Are ‘Full Of Sh*t’)

Trump may get his wish. Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a resolution on Monday to formally censure Omar for her comments, writing, “Ilhan Omar is not compatible with our American values. She has no place in Congress and should be admonished.”
Minnesota has the largest Somali population in the United States, according to World Population Review, at roughly 61,353 residents in 2023. The Minneapolis City Council passed a resolution designating July 1 as Somali American Day in 2014 — a date chosen to match Somalia’s Independence Day. The city council recognized Somali Week Festival in 2017.
Omar, like so many hyphenated Americans, regularly appeals to her Somali origin. She claims the benefits of naturalized citizenship, without attempting assimilation.
More to the point — foreign ethnic voting blocs enfeeble the entire American experiment. The marketplace of ideas is supplanted by the marketplace of ethnic surrogates.
Ilhan Omar has shown us exactly who she is: she defends political violence and refuses to condemn the loss of innocent lives when it doesn’t suit her agenda, even the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Its dangerous, disgraceful, and beneath the United States Congress.… pic.twitter.com/QEmmp6wsTf

Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s first prime minister, spoke of the difficulty of managing a multiracial democracy in a 2005 interview.
“In multiracial societies, you don’t vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion. Supposing I’d run [Western style democracy] system here, Malays would vote for Muslims, Indians would vote for Indians, Chinese would vote for Chinese.” (RELATED: Decades Long Race-Baiting Gambit Blows Up In Left’s Face)
Trump is the exception which proves the rule. He won record numbers of hispanic and black votes (for a GOP candidate) in the 2024 election. That was only notable because of the trend of which Yew speaks.
