(Hill) President Trump on Monday claimed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is “never happy” and suggested she should leave the U.S. if she’s inclined to criticize it.
In a lengthy diatribe on the South Lawn of the White House, Trump defended incendiary tweets from Sunday in which he suggested progressive congresswomen should “go back” to where they came from.
While he did not specify any lawmakers in his tweets, he targeted Omar extensively on Monday.
“When I hear the statements that they’ve made, and in one case for somebody that comes from Somalia … and now is a congresswoman who’s never happy, says horrible things about Israel, hates Israel, hates Jews,” Trump said. “It’s very simple.”
