President Trump unleashed a blistering Truth Social attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) — calling for the Somali immigrant to be locked up or deported, while linking her to the state’s massive human services fraud scandal.
“The Theft and Fraud in Minnesota is far greater than the 19 Billion Dollars originally projected,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Saturday morning.
“The Biden Administration knew this FRAUD was happening, and did absolutely nothing about it. “Scammer” Ilhan Omar and her absolutely terrible friends from Somalia should all be in jail right now, or, far worse, send them back to Somalia,” Trump wrote referencing the massive human services fraud scandal roiling the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
The scandal dates back to 2021, with at least $250 million in COVID-era fraud revolving around the Feeding Our Future program. It now includes more than 75 defendants, most of Somali descent.
Omar has not been implicated in the fraud.
“‘Governor’ Waltz [sic] is either the most CORRUPT government official in history, or the most INCOMPETENT,” Trump continued.
“Even a very low IQ person, of which there are many, should have known what was going on in Minnesota!!!”
The rant against the outspoken Squad member comes just days after a constituent sprayed her with a syringe full of apple cider vinegar, while she called for the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, was charged with third-degree assault for spraying the congresswoman in the chest with the noxious liquid.
But Trump suggested the incident was staged.
“She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her,” Trump told ABC News on Tuesday.
Omar put on a brave face after the assault, writing on X: “I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.”
Earlier this week it was announced that the DOJ and Congress are investigating Omar’s skyrocketing net worth.
Trump has previously called on Omar to be jailed or deported back to her native country of Somalia because she “hates” the US.
“She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!”
