DeSantis: “Expel, Denaturalize, And Deport” Ilhan Omar

Florida Politics reports:

“Expel from Congress, denaturalize and deport,” urged Ron DeSantis about U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is taking criticism from the Right for comments she made privileging Somalia over the United States. As Newsweek notes, Omar recently told a crowd of Somali American constituents that she was “Somalian first, Muslim second” and “here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.”

For his part, DeSantis has used Omar as a rhetorical target in the past. He invoked her name when dealing with his own controversy. In 2022, when a group of neo-Nazis lined a bridge in Orange County, hanging the swastika flag and banners — including a banner with the pro-Trump slogan “Let’s Go Brandon” — and yelling antisemitic slurs at passing cars, DeSantis was more concerned with Omar talking about the issue.
