Trump blasts Pelosi for defending 'out of control' Omar [View all]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday chastised Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for defending Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), saying the Minnesota Democrat is "out of control."

“Before Nancy, who has lost all control of Congress and is getting nothing done, decides to defend her leader, Rep. Omar, she should look at the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and ungrateful U.S. HATE statements Omar has made,” Trump tweeted.

“She is out of control, except for her control of Nancy!” he added.

Trump's remarks come amid growing concerns for Omar's personal safety. He has ratcheted up his criticisms of the freshman lawmaker in recent days, even as Democrats warn that the president's rhetoric could endanger Omar, who is one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress.
