Rep. Ilhan Omar on Tuesday told a reporter she was 'stupid' and refused to address questions about a financial disclosure that originally valued her assets at up to $30 million (£22.7 million) before being revised to under $95,000 (£71,800). The Minnesota Democrat's response, captured on video in the halls of Congress, ended with her snapping: 'I don't want to tell you jack sh*t. How about that?'
The exchange, posted to X by LindellTV, showed reporter Alison Steinberg approaching Omar near a lift. 'The last time I spoke to you, you said that I was stupid for asking about your financial disclosure, but there are some discrepancies on there. Would you like to explain them?' Steinberg asked.
