(Hill) Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) shared an edited portion of an interview with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and accused the congresswoman’s remarks of being “racist” against white people.
The 40-second clip Rubio shared is part of a 10-minute interview Omar did with Al Jazeera in February 2018, when she was running for Congress. The edited clip Rubio shared was resurfaced by the Christian Broadcasting Network this week.
In it, Omar says, “Our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.”
The clip then abruptly jumps to Omar saying, “we should be profiling, monitoring and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.”
