Democrat Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar attacked President Donald Trump on Tuesday and defended Iran when she said that \u201cno one is attacking or has attacked Americans,\u201d even though there is a mountain of evidence that links Iran to attacks on Americans for decades.<\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Her comments came before the United States dropped \u201cbunker buster\u201d bombs on the nation\u2019s nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n

And her comments were met with consternation by Republican Texas Rep. Randy Weber, who\u00a0said\u00a0simply, \u201cIf it\u2019s so bad here and you don\u2019t like it, go to some other country. It\u2019s just that simple,\u201d during an appearance on \u201cJust The News \u2013 Not Noise\u201d on Real America\u2019s Voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is attacking or has attacked Americans. It\u2019s time to stop dragging Americans into war and letting Israel once again get America involved in their chosen war,\u201d Omar posted on X. \u201cStand up for the Americans who believed you wanted peace and don\u2019t commit another generation of Americans into a costly war.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Omar\u2019s claims do not match reality.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cmurder-for-hire\u201d plots.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan 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\u2019t even remember ever witnessing anything like that,\u201d the representative said, referring to Somalia.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo 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\u2019s constitutional rights, while our president\u2019s spending millions of dollars propping himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade \u2014 it is really shocking,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be a wake-up call for all Americans to say, \u2018This is not the country we were born in. It\u2019s 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,\u2019\u201d the woman, who was not actually born in the United States, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we should all collectively be out in the streets, rejecting what is taking place this week,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI think the person who is in the process of destroying our country should look in the mirror and that\u2019s Trump,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd 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\u2019s\u00a0First Amendment\u00a0right in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

She faced immediate backlash on X for her comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hyperbole here is appalling, made worse by her astounding ingratitude,\u201d Fox News contributor Guy Benson\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I]f people are seriously offended by a parade for the first time in decades, then go outside and touch some grass,\u201d\u00a0OutKick contributor David Hookstead\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the greatest military on the planet, and we shouldn\u2019t ever apologize for it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
