Tucker Carlson (Fox): Congressmember Omar “living proof” US immigration laws are “dangerous”
As reported on The Hill, Fox News host Tucker Carlson yesterday attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who came to the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia, saying the outspoken progressive is “living proof” that U.S. immigration laws are “dangerous.” “Omar isn’t disappointed in America. She’s enraged by it,” Carlson said, citing Omar’s discussions about various forms of discrimination in the U.S. “That should worry you, and not just because Omar is a sitting member of Congress. Ilhan Omar is living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country.”
Representative Omar responded through tweet:
Not gonna lie, it’s kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress
No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect.
They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman! https://t.co/nRS13yWivK
