“We are gonna continue to keep fighting until we have the America we know we all deserve.' After a week of attacks from Pres. Trump, Rep. Ilhan Omar returned home to cheers, vowing to be a 'nightmare' for the president:
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was greeted at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport by more than a hundred supporters -- constituents, organizers and well-wishers, carrying homemade"stand with Ilhan" signs welcoming her back to Minneapolis after a week of racist attacks from President Donald Trump, who told four Democratic congresswomen of color to "go back"to where they came from, and supporters at a campaign rally, who chanted"send her back" on Wednesday night.
"Everybody is talking about that he is threatened because we criticize him," she said."But the reality is that he is threatened because we are inspiring people to dream about a country that recognizes their dignity and humanity." "We are not deterred, we are not frightened, we are ready," she said."We are in the ring, we are in the people’s house ... we are going to continue fighting until we have the America we all deserve."
Trump zeroed in on Somali-born Omar during the rally, eliciting scattered"send her back" chants from the audience of supporters. One elderly white couple, clearly angered by the rally awaiting Omar, made a show of repeatedly pushing through supporters to check the arrivals screen.
