Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was harshly criticized by conservatives on social media Sunday after a video was shared showing her speaking about her support for Somalia, the nation from which she hails. The translation includes Omar stating she's in Congress to represent Somali Americans' interests and that the "U.S. will do what we want and nothing else." Responding to an "Israel War Room" page post of the video, former Republican Virginia Rep. Denver Riggleman wrote, "Ilhan Omar is a disgraceful representative." Omar responded to the controversy by replying to a comment on the clip, in which a researcher wrote, "This interpretation is slanted. She says at the end that all the five territories will be liberated, but it appears rhetorical..""It’s not only slanted but completely off, but I wouldn’t expect more from these propagandists," Omar wrote in response.
