Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reacted to recent comments made by squad Rep. Ilhan Omar (R-MN) on Tuesday; DeSantis says Omar should be expelled from Congress and deported after making comments that suggested she puts Somali interests above American interests.
“Expel from Congress, denaturalize and deport!” the former 2024 Republican presidential candidate wrote on X next to a clip of Omar’s remarks.
From The New York Post:
The latest controversy involving the Minnesota lawmaker kicked off after Omar delivered a Somali-language speech to a gathering of community leaders at a Minneapolis hotel Saturday night, during which she railed against plans by the Ethiopian government to enter a sea access deal with the breakaway Republic of Somaliland.
In a translated video of the remarks shared by DeSantis, Omar said that “the US government will only do what Somalians in the US tell them to do. They must do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia.”
“The US is a country where one of your daughters is in Congress to represent your interest,” added Omar, referring to herself. “For as long as I am in the US Congress, Somalia will never be in danger, its waters will not be stolen by Ethiopia or others … Sleep in comfort, knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the US system.”
