Ilhan Omar Hates America, But There's a Reason Why She Stays Here - Geller Report

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) is deeply disappointed in her adopted country...  - Robert Spencer 

In June 2024, video began circulating of former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Khaire standing next to a beaming Omar and saying: 

• The interest of Ilhan are not Ilhan’s, it’s not the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people, the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somali people and Somalia. The success of Ilhan is the success of Somalia.”
• That video followed one in which Omar is giving a speech in which she says: We Somalis must have the confidence in ourselves that we call the shots in the U.S. The U.S. government will only do what Somalis in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else.” 
• She says that the U.S. government “must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia… Sleep in comfort, knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.”
• A third video contains footage of Omar from 2022, once again speaking in Somali to a Somali audience. She begins by saying: “We must fix our roads.” Nothing wrong with that, except that she isn’t talking about the roads in her congressional district. She is talking about roads in Somalia.
