During his first rally since the impeachment inquiry, United States President Donald Trump attacked Ilhan Omar, the representative from Minnesota on October 10. President rallied in Omar's turf and called her a “disgrace” to their country and reminded his thousands of supports of the anti-semitic remarks that she made on Israel. President Trump rose the allegations yet again that Omar married her brother to commit immigration fraud. After the US leader's comments on Omar, she took on Twitter to reply saying that his hatred is no match for the movement her followers have created.
Omar's sarcasm
A few hours after Omar defended her values in the face of US President's comment, she further retweeted an image of her supporter holding a sign which calls Minnesota her “home” and that she won it without the help of either Ukraine or Russia. It was also a direct attack on President Trump's ongoing impeachment inquiry along with the Muller investigation which disclosed Russian interference in the elections of 2016. In addition to that, the center of ongoing official inquiry against President Trump involves his phone call with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Earlier that day, the Minnesota representative also called out the US President saying it is sure that she is standing for progress because he can't keep Omar's name out of his mouth.
President lashes out on Biden
During the rally, the President also lashed out at the former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. President Trump accused Biden to have only become a Vice President because he knew how to curry favour with the former US President, Barack Obama. He has also been claiming that the Biden family used their name to enter China and Ukraine and pay millions of dollars. However, Joe Biden has said earlier that President Trump picked a fight with the “wrong guy”.
