The White House posted a video clip Saturday of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) calling the United States of America the “U.S. G**damn States” in a rant about ICE immigration enforcement.
Omar made her remark at a House Democrat field hearing in St. Paul, Minnesota on Friday.
“.@IlhanMN refers to our great country as the “U.S. G*ddamn States.”There is no circumstance in which she should refer to our country in this way. It is beyond disrespectful — it is appalling, disgusting, and SICK. SHAME ON HER!”

The liberal Tennessee Holler posted a longer clip of Omar’s rant:
🔥 JUST NOW — Rep. @Ilhan lights up complicit Republicans: “Those of us who escaped places like that, the one place we thought we would never experience this is the united Goddamn states… I am ashamed. And we must do all we can to bring back the 🇺🇸 we all escaped into. pic.twitter.com/S7rAJIx2Zp
