A MAGA rally took an especially ugly turn on Tuesday night after President Donald Trump riled up attendees by claiming that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is in the country illegally.
The president spoke in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, where the subject of his address centered on affordability. Not surprisingly, Trump digressed several times and at one point asked the attendees if any of them were from Somalia.

He then pivoted to Omar, a Somali immigrant and U.S. citizen who has served in Congress since 2019.
“I love this Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is, with the little turban,” Trump said, referring to the congresswoman’s hijab. “I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch. She’s always complaining. She comes from her country, where, I mean, it’s considered about the worst country in the world, right?”

As Trump spoke, the crowd reacted with an increasingly loud chant of, “Send her back!”
The president has frequently maligned Omar and has said she “shouldn’t even be allowed in Congress.”
