From Fox News: The White House seems ready for Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., to leave the U.S. and go back to Somalia, where she was born.
On Monday, the White House shared on X an image of President Donald Trump waving goodbye through a McDonald’s drive-thru window in 2024 in response to a video of Omar saying she wasn’t concerned about being deported.
“I have no worry, I don’t know how they’d take away my citizenship and like deport me,” Omar said in the clip the White House responded to, which originally was made on “The Dean Obeidallah Show” in October. “But I don’t even know like why that’s such a scary threat. Like I’m not the 8-year-old who escaped war anymore. I’m grown, my kids are grown. Like I could go live wherever I want.”
The image of Trump the White House shared was from October 2024 during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania where he worked at a McDonald’s fry station.
Omar came to the U.S. as a Somalian refugee in 1995, when when she was a teenager, and became a U.S. citizen in 2000.
The White House’s mocking post has generated over 10 million views and 3,100 comments.

In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham which aired Monday night, President Trump slammed Omar, saying, “I look at somebody who comes from Somalia…and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. ‘The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.’ The whole thing is crazy.”
Omar sneered in return, “Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.”
