Donald Trump has made it all too clear what he thinks of Rep. Ilhan Omar. He’s called her a “horrible woman”, says she makes “ungrateful U.S. hate statements”, and has deemed her “garbage” that should be “thrown out of the country”.
The feeling is mutual. Yesterday, Trump returned to slamming Somalia, describing it as “maybe a fourth-world nation” and accusing every Somali-American of being a thief.

“Somalia’s a Third World, maybe a fourth world nation, one of the worst, one of the most dangerous. They don’t have anything. They don’t have councils, they don’t have government, they don’t have police. They shoot each other all over the place.”
Trump then rounded on Omar, repeating the usual MAGA lie that she married her brother:
“Ilhan Omar, I hope this is part of it, but she married her brother, supposedly. I mean, there’s a lot of documentation, that means she’s here illegally, and she’s a congresswoman, and I hope you’re going to be looking at that, or somebody is all right? Because she’s one of the ringleaders here. She’s bad news, really bad news. She’s so bad for our country.”
No time for niceties
In response, Omar, correctly concluding that there’s absolutely no point pulling her punches against Trump, didn’t hold back:
The most disturbing part of his unhinged comments is how comfortable he is in telling the world how stupid he and his followers are.

“The most disturbing part of his unhinged comments is how comfortable he is in telling the world how stupid he and his followers are. But I guess it’s expected from a man who regularly and publicly fantasized about sleeping with his own daughter and is clearly implicated in the worst pedophile coverup case.”
Omar is, of course, entirely correct that Trump has a history of disturbing comments about his daughter, Ivanka Trump.
In 1997, when Ivanka was 16, he said: “Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?” On the Howard Stern show in 2003, he praised his daughter for having the “best body”. In 2006, on The View, he mused: “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her”.
Jeez, we get it, Donald. All of this means if Trump is going to be tossing out incest allegations, he may want to remember not to throw stones in glass houses.
