Rep. Ilhan Omar made the outlandish claim that White House advisor Stephen Miller, an observant Jew, was pushing “white supremacist rhetoric” similar to how “the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany.”
“When I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist rhetoric, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany,” Omar (D-Minn.) chided on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
Omar, a first-generation Somali immigrant, was responding to an X post from Miller — the chief architect of President Trump’s immigration agenda — in which he criticized mass migration.
“You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies. No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders,” Miller wrote in the X post. “At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.”
Left-wing critics have long tried to tie Miller to white supremacism despite his Jewish heritage. Omar, meanwhile, has bristled at the Trump administration’s focus on her home state after an explosive $1 billion fraud scandal in which dozens of people stole taxpayer funds for services never provided — a scheme centered in Minnesota’s Somali-American community and the source of Trump’s ire last week.
“You know, our country is at a tipping point,” Trump said during a cabinet meeting last week. “We’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage… These are people that do nothing but complain. They complain and from where they came from, they got nothing. When they come from hell, and they complain and do nothing but bitch, we don’t want them in our country.”
In the days after Trump’s fiery remarks about Somali-Americans, ICE ramped up its enforcement operations in Minnesota.
“It’s completely disgusting. These are Americans that he is calling garbage,” Omar fired back against Trump’s broadsides. “It’s also really important for us to remember that this kind of hateful rhetoric and this level of dehumanizing can lead to dangerous actions by people who listen to the president.”
This is the great lie of mass migration. You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies. No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands. https://t.co/09HumIaZuL
