President Trump on Thursday heavily criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after four House Republicans joined Democrats to help defeat a censure vote over her reprehensible comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
"I think she's terrible," Trump said during a press gaggle aboard Air Force One. "I think she should be impeached. I think she's terrible."
While congressional members are often removed from their positions through the process of expulsion, rather than impeachment, the President's words indicate he is incredibly disappointed with the GOP members who let her slide without so much as a reprimand.
As he should be. The feckless four Republicans - Reps. Mike Flood (NE), Jeff Hurd (CO), Cory Mills (FL), and Tom McClintock (CA) - exposed themselves as spineless in aiding Omar, who had mocked Kirk, mocked his supporters "full of s***," and shared a video which referred to the slain conservative icon as a “stochastic terrorist” and a “reprehensible human being."
Trump went on to point out that Somalia, from which she and her family fled during a civil war, is a veritable hellhole and wondered why she thinks she can come from such a wasteland and tell America how it should operate.
"Is she originally from Somalia?" he asked a reporter, who confirmed. "So, how are they doing? How's their government? Do they have a president? Do they have a council? Do they have anything? Do they have police?"
"I love these people. They come from a place with nothing. Nothing. No anything," Trump continued. "And then they tell us how to run our country. No, I think if she if she got censured, that's great. If she got impeached, that's even better."

The President reiterated those thoughts on social media, even peppering in a reference to Omar as "scum" and taking a dig at her brother.
"Somalia is consistently ranked among the World’s Most Corrupt Countries, including Bribery, Embezzlement, and a Dysfunctional Government," he pointed out. "All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America!"
"P.S. Wasn’t she the one that married her brother in order to gain Citizenship???" Trump added. "What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it."
The Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2019 reported on documents raising questions as to whether she previously married her own brother as a means to “skirt immigration laws," an accusation she has denied.
Aside from the disgusting comments in the wake of Kirk's killing, the Squad member has been accused of repeated anti-Semitism, and once dismissed the 9/11 terror attacks as "some people did something."
Other than that, she's a charming patriot.
Republicans had a chance to censure her, but couldn't do it, even with the context of Kirk's death being fueled by anti-conservative extremist rhetoric. If they couldn't muster the spine to hold her accountable for that, it'll never happen.
