| [FoxNews] Omar promised Somali constituents she would protect Somalia's interests inside US system Elon Musk accused Rep. Ilhan Omar of committing treason over past comments in which she vowed to safeguard Somali interests in the U.S. while assuring her constituents the administration would "do what we ask it to do." "This sounds like treason," Musk wrote on X, reposting a clip of Omar speaking to Somali constituents in Minnesota in 2024. The video circulated widely online and was highlighted further by the Tesla and SpaceX CEO's retweet Wednesday. Omar originally made the remarks in January 2024, when she told supporters in the Twin Cities she would fight to prevent the breakaway Republic of Somaliland from allowing Ethiopia to create a naval base on its coastline. Minnesota is home to the largest Somali refugee community in the U.S., with most members of that community living in Omar’s district. "The U.S. government will do what we ask it to do," a translation of Omar's speech said. "We should have this kind of confidence in ourselves as Somalis. We live in this country. We are taxpayers in this country. This country is one where one of your daughters sits in Congress. While I am in Congress, no one will take Somalia's sea, and the U.S. government won't support others to rob us. Don't stress over it, Minnesotans." |
