The Biden White House ignited a political firestorm over the weekend after posting a video clip of Rep.

The remark, captured on camera at a Democrat-led event in Minnesota, immediately drew backlash from critics who say the comment crossed a line of basic respect for the country she serves in Congress.
Omar made the statement Friday while speaking at a House Democrat “field hearing” held in St. Paul, Minnesota. The event focused on attacking federal immigration enforcement efforts and accusing ICE and Border Patrol agents of systemic abuse. While Omar and her allies framed the gathering as an oversight hearing, Republicans and conservatives quickly labeled it a political stunt designed to inflame tensions and demonize law enforcement.
The White House amplified the controversy by sharing the clip on social media Saturday, highlighting Omar’s language and condemning the tone of her remarks. The post included a sharply worded response that left little room for interpretation.
