Former NBA first-round pick Royce White said Rep. Ilhan Omar should be deported and turned that line into a campaign slogan: “Don’t Mogadishu my America.”
The comments were made during a VladTV interview as White, who lost the Minnesota Republican Senate primary this summer, talked about a presidential run.
Asked what he thought of Omar, White said, “I think she should be deported.”
“This is not Mogadishu. Yeah. That’s my campaign pitch for my presidential run. … Don’t Mogadishu my America.”
White said the United States has become an “epicenter for Somalis” and that refugees who “talk down on this country as though it’s the worst place possible to live” should leave.
“Go back to Somalia, go live in Somalia then, if America is so bad,” he said. “And it’s not just Ilhan. It’s Ilhan. It’s Mamdani. It’s Sayed.”
