A resurfaced 2018 clip of Rep. Ilhan Omar has reignited political controversy. In the video, Omar said Americans should fear “white men” due to their role in most domestic terrorism deaths, citing an Anti-Defamation League report.
Conservative influencers shared the clip, prompting backlash from GOP figures like JD Vance and Mike Lee, who labeled her remarks as racist and “genocidal.” Omar defended her comments, saying they addressed white nationalism’s rise.
Critics also resurfaced unrelated claims about her immigration stance and alleged fraud, though no evidence has been proven. Omar responded by accusing critics of hypocrisy, especially regarding U.S. policy in Gaza.
The renewed debate highlights ongoing partisan tensions over race, immigration, and national security in America.
