Republican Tells Omar To Leave United States After She Defends Iran

Democrat Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar attacked President Donald Trump on Tuesday and defended Iran when she said that “no one is attacking or has attacked Americans,” even though there is a mountain of evidence that links Iran to attacks on Americans for decades.

Her comments came before the United States dropped “bunker buster” bombs on the nation’s nuclear facilities.

And her comments were met with consternation by Republican Texas Rep. Randy Weber, who said simply, “If it’s so bad here and you don’t like it, go to some other country. It’s just that simple,” during an appearance on “Just The News – Not Noise” on Real America’s Voice.

“No one is attacking or has attacked Americans. It’s time to stop dragging Americans into war and letting Israel once again get America involved in their chosen war,” Omar posted on X. “Stand up for the Americans who believed you wanted peace and don’t commit another generation of Americans into a costly war.”

But Omar’s claims do not match reality.

Iranian-backed proxies have carried out repeated attacks on U.S. forces in recent years, and the regime has even been accused of trying to assassinate President Trump in 2024 through “murder-for-hire” plots.

Iranian-backed militias also struck U.S. military positions in Iraq after President Trump ordered the killing of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Qassem Soleimani.

And according to a 2019 report by Military Times, Iran is responsible for the deaths of approximately 603 American service members in Iraq between 2003 and 2011.

Omar, a refugee from Somalia, believes that the United States of America, the nation where her family fled, is becoming one of the worst countries in the world, yet she chooses to stay.

In a recent interview with Democracy Now, Omar pointed out that U.S. troops were sent to put down protests in Los Angeles during the same week the Trump administration held a massive military parade to celebrate 250 years of the U.S. Army.

“Can you imagine that image that is going to be coming out of our country? I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that,” the representative said, referring to Somalia.

“To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world, to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries, where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights, while our president’s spending millions of dollars propping himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade — it is really shocking,” she said.

“It should be a wake-up call for all Americans to say, ‘This is not the country we were born in. It’s not the country we believe in. This is not the country our Founding Fathers imagined, and this is not the country that is supported by our Constitution, our ideals, our values,’” the woman, who was not actually born in the United States, said.

“And we should all collectively be out in the streets, rejecting what is taking place this week,” she said.

“I think the person who is in the process of destroying our country should look in the mirror and that’s Trump,” she said. “And notice that he is the one that has hatred for the values that we have here in America and everything that we have built. The reality is protest, dissent, is constitutionally protected that is everybody’s First Amendment right in this country.”

She faced immediate backlash on X for her comments.

“The hyperbole here is appalling, made worse by her astounding ingratitude,” Fox News contributor Guy Benson said.

“[I]f people are seriously offended by a parade for the first time in decades, then go outside and touch some grass,” OutKick contributor David Hookstead said.

“We have the greatest military on the planet, and we shouldn’t ever apologize for it,” he said.
