Vance, conservatives blast Omar over resurfaced ‘fearful of White men’ clip
The resurfaced clip of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive “Squad” in Congress, has caused a stir on social media this week. In the clip, Omar can be heard discussing the “radicalization of White men” during a 2018 interview with Al-Jazeera. She stated, “I would say our country should be more fearful of White men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.”
Conservatives, including Vice President JD Vance, GOP Sen. Mike Lee, and GOP Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer, have condemned Omar’s comments as racist and genocidal. The clip, shared by conservative influencers, has sparked outrage and calls for accountability from within the White House.
Omar’s office has been reached out to for comment on the matter, but no response has been received yet. This controversy comes on the heels of another incident where Omar told a reporter to “f— off” after being questioned about Democratic Party figures traveling to El Salvador to defend an illegal immigrant deported by the Trump administration.
Despite the backlash, Omar stood by her statement, telling her critics to “f— off.” The controversy surrounding her remarks has highlighted the ongoing tensions and divisions within American politics.
As the debate continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this incident will impact Omar’s standing within Congress and the broader political landscape. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
