Quotes from Coverage
Labeled by who's speaking — Ilhan Omarvs. a host/other voice, and flagged where the source didn't specify. Don't attribute an “other” or unverified quote to Ilhan Omar.
Host / other voice“Like if I look at Ilhan Omar, I'm like, man, that's the proof of the American dream. This woman comes from Somalia as a refugee. She's what, 14. She rises to the ranks of Congresswoman in the United States from a country where she wouldn't have even had a voice.”
Host / other voice“Maybe they do need to investigate her a bit harder at the federal level on the fraud that's been happening in Minnesota. Maybe they do need to look into her marriage to her brother a bit more seriously than they ever have before.”
Host / other voice“the notion that the American military is deliberately bombing schoolgirls, while Ilhan Omar is supportive of actual terrorist groups that actually deliberately bomb school girls is pretty astonishing stuff from the sitting congressperson in Minnesota.”
Host / other voice“a congressman goes around telling everybody about our constitution and yet she supposedly came into a country by marrying her brother well if that's true she shouldn't be a congressman and we should throw the hell out of our country”
Ilhan Omar“I do not. And I think many people look at that moment when the president says it is our responsibility to protect Americans. And he does not acknowledge the fact that two Americans, two of my constituents, two of our neighbors, were killed.”
Host / other voice“Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is worth over $30 million. There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated legally while being paid the salary of a politician. She should be investigated for capital F financial and capital P political crimes, and that investigation should start now.”
Host / other voice“I mean, we let this woman in and her family. Like when I say we, I'm in the government. Like they let him in from Somalia. And like she should be on her hands and knees every day, thanking the good Lord above that she was even born into a decent family and had a lot of success.”
Host / other voice“I think leaders have a responsibility to speak and act with moral clarity. That's true of governors, and I think Spencer Cox meets that mark. I try to meet it. And I think it's a responsibility that falls on the President of the United States as well. I think this president not only failed tonight to speak an act with moral clarity by attacking a fellow American, whether we agree or disagree with their positions in Congress.”
Ilhan Omar“I think what happened is that, you know, when you have these kind of new programs that are designed to help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up, they were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created.”
Host / other voice“the Minnesota billion-dollar social services scam is turning out to be bigger than anyone could have imagined. Fingers are pointing to the Somali community, headed by Elon Omar, including one of her top aides arrested.”
Host / other voice“Ilhan Omar had parties at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, knew one of its owners now convicted, and one of her own staffers has also been convicted, both for stealing millions of dollars.”
Host / other voice“If we had left her alone instead of taking her and her family in as refugees, there would be giant black scorpions crawling over her sun-bleached bones in the windswept sands of Ethiopia, which might be a better thing for the planet.”
