To Omar, honoring our military is somehow “shocking.” She ranted that America—a global leader in freedom—has now morphed into a dystopia:
“To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world, to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries, where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights, while our president’s spending millions of dollars propping himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade — it is really shocking.”
Ironically, Omar continued her tirade by appealing to patriotic Americans, telling them they should rise up against the very country she denigrates:
“It should be a wake-up call for all Americans to say, ‘This is not the country we were born in. It’s not the country we believe in. This is not the country our Founding Fathers imagined, and this is not the country that is supported by our Constitution, our ideals, our values.’”
Of course, Omar herself wasn’t born in this country. But that didn’t stop her from claiming the right to redefine what it stands for.
“And we should all collectively be out in the streets, rejecting what is taking place this week,” she urged.
The congresswoman didn’t stop there. She pinned all blame on former President Donald Trump, stating, “I think the person who is in the process of destroying our country should look in the mirror and that’s Trump,” she said. “And notice that he is the one that has hatred for the values that we have here in America and everything that we have built. The reality is protest, dissent, is constitutionally protected that is everybody’s First Amendment right in this country.”
As expected, her anti-American rhetoric sparked outrage across social media.
“She wasn’t born here at all,” one X user fired back.
Fox News contributor Guy Benson slammed her for her tone-deaf complaints, stating, “The hyperbole here is appalling, made worse by her astounding ingratitude.”
David Hookstead of OutKick added: “[I]f people are seriously offended by a parade for the first time in decades, then go outside and touch some grass. We have the greatest military on the planet, and we shouldn’t ever apologize for it. After all, our men died to try to protect innocent lives in Somalia. I guess that sacrifice just doesn’t matter to Congresswoman Omar.”
Many on social media demanded serious consequences. “Can we have Ilhan Omar deported?” one user asked. Another was blunt: “There’s literally nothing stopping Omar from leaving if she isn’t happy here…because we’re a free country. Unlike the Somalia she idealizes!”
The backlash didn’t stop there. One user warned, “When elected leaders like Rep Ilhan Omar claim the US is the worst country on the planet they’re calling for violence against the legitimate government.”
Others turned their criticism toward the GOP for failing to act. “We have a major problem. We’re not a single Republican in Congress is demanding her resignation. And we wonder why Congress has yet to codify President Trump’s executive orders, stop broke judges and passed the America first agenda. Trump works 24/7 and Republicans sit back and play footsie with these terrorists in the Democrat party.”
Despite the uproar, Omar has made no public statement indicating she plans to leave the United States. But after her comments, many Americans are asking: if she truly believes the U.S. is one of the “worst countries”—what exactly is keeping her here?
After all, no one is stopping her from boarding a one-way flight back to the dictatorship she claims to remember so fondly.
