Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) responded strongly on X following comments made by President Trump during a recent interview with Larry Kudlow on Fox Business.
In the interview, President Trump discussed his administration’s efforts to address fraud across the country, including concerns he raised about activity in Minnesota. During the conversation, he referenced the Somali community and criticized Rep. Omar, calling her a “fake congresswoman” and saying, “She’s so bad.”

Rep. Omar reacted to the remarks on social media, accusing President Trump of attempting to shift attention away from allegations tied to the Epstein case. In her post, she wrote, “The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files.”
She added a controversial comparison, writing, “At least in Somalia, they execute pedophiles, not elect them.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) wrongly calls President Trump “leader of the Ped*phile Protection Party” and calls for him to be exec*ted.@SpeakerJohnson needs to have Ilhan removed from all her committee assignments and censured.
Then he must work to have Ilhan expelled and deported. https://t.co/3hpBAauqpk pic.twitter.com/0Rq6SDGJeK

Omar’s comments drew significant attention online, with some readers interpreting the statement as inflammatory rhetoric amid an already heated political exchange.
Did she call for Trump’s execution? You be the judge.
