Trump Revives Omar Marriage Claim, Slams Somalia as "Hellhole"

  • Trump attacked Congresswoman Ilhan Omar at a rally, repeating the controversial claim that she married her brother to gain US citizenship.
  • He referred to Somalia, Omar's country of origin, as a "hellhole" and criticized Minnesota's governor.
  • Trump claimed to have halted immigration from "hellholes" like Somalia, Afghanistan, and Haiti.
  • Omar has consistently denied the marriage allegation, labeling Trump's comments as false, racist, and a distraction from policy issues.
  • This is not the first time Trump has made such allegations against Omar, having previously called her "garbage" and suggested Somalia should "take her back."

Why It Matters: Trump's attacks on Ilhan Omar escalate divisive immigration rhetoric and target Somali-Americans.
