A resurfaced clip of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive \u201cSquad,\u201d ignited a firestorm on social media this week, as conservatives slammed her for past remarks about the \u201cradicalization of White men.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would say our country should be more fearful of White men across our country, because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country,\u201d Omar told Middle East outlet Al-Jazeera in 2018 as she discussed domestic terrorism threats in the United States and in response to a question on how much concern \u201cjihadism\u201d poses to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her race-tinged and wholly inaccurate remarks, which were re-posted by conservative influencer accounts including Laura Loomer and LibsofTikTok, racking up millions of views, sparked outrage from conservatives on social media, including from inside the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t just sick; it\u2019s actually genocidal language,\u201d Vice President JD Vance posted on X. \u201cWhat a disgrace this person is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
