Rep. Ilhan Omar Rep. Ilhan Omar was elected to represent an American district yet she acts more like Somalia’s unofficial ambassador in Congress. This clip shows her pattern clearly: gatekeeping access, sidelining Somaliland-Americans, and turning a U.S. congressional office into a personal diplomatic tool. And it doesn’t stop there.... In the last Minneapolis mayor race, she even turned against longtime supporters within her own community just to advance her preferred candidate. When factional politics calls, she’ll throw anyone under the bus allies, organizers, whole communities. Loyalty only matters when it serves her agenda. That’s not Democratic leadership. That’s political self-preservation disguised as representation. At the end of the day, accountability comes through the democratic process. A congressional seat belongs to the public not to someone’s foreign political loyalties or personal power network.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan You are ignorant that understand how US politics functionMany Congressman and Congress women support Israel in public and private in US.Ilhan Omar has right in US to support the interest of Somalia.

Supporting a foreign country is one thing advancing U.S. interests is another. Every Congressman may have private positions, but votes, policy, and accountability must serve Americans first. Claiming loyalty to Somalia while billions of U.S. tax dollars are spent there is not “support,” it’s a failure of responsibility. Can you show one concrete result she delivered for the U.S.?

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Congresswoman is loyal to the US are against Ilhan because she stands for unity of Somalia. YOU support Ted Crouse American-Cuban who.lobby the break up for can huff and puff to wish the demise of Somali nation but 🇸🇴 is strong

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Here we go one QABIIl enclave, hate or love it Trump still considers you Somali, you can work Zionist or Donald you’re the same

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Being Somali doesn’t excuse ignoring Americans. Democrats back results at home first loyalty to failed states isn’t leadership, it’s hypocrisy.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Change your name Zionist second hand, then you will never be associated with Somali’s

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Shame on you

If speaking the truth and standing up for the rights of the Somaliland-American community a community pushed aside and ignored in our political system makes me “shameless,” then I’ll proudly wear that as a badge of honor. Defending people who are consistently sidelined isn’t shameful. Staying silent would be.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan You can go pleasing who ever you want at the end of the day you’re Somali, can’t believe a group of people that are all dumb regardless of whether they seek knowledge or not nor learn the deen or not, just pure stupidity man shut the hell up and get elected if you can

@IlhanMN @Ilhan When you have no political argument, you fall back on identity insults. I don’t need to please anyone, I engage the system while you shout from the sidelines. Influence is earned, not yelled.

You are a sick laangaab laangaab daley. There is no such thing as Somaliland. Burco and Hargeisa are simply local authorities that fall under Somalia. Yall can’t secede in any way. By population you don’t amount to anything, and by land you’re no better off. So how can one insignificant tribe think it can become its own country? The truth is the rest of Somalis let this delusion grow, but reorientation to reality is imminent.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Insults won’t erase reality. Somaliland functions as a stable, democratic state with institutions Somalia hasn’t managed in decades. Calling it “delusion” doesn’t make you informed it just exposes your insecurity. Come back when you can debate sovereignty, not clans.

@DownIsrahell @IlhanMN @Ilhan I don’t think the state is a democratic one, it wouldn’t arrest Pro-Somalia protesters if it was. Reality is, Somaliland controlled(still wants to) other states resources, laws, and economic future. It’s what lead Sool & Sanaag to start practicing self-governance.

@fuadcab @IlhanMN @Ilhan Try telling that to delusional beings who think they’re still colonial servants.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan It’s called reaching out to sections of your constituency. Irish American politicians speak about the importance of Ireland-US relations etc. Somalilanders who submit false asylum applications when crossing Mexican border benefit from Ilhan’s advocacy for refugees

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Dude we're same boat

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Kabo leefkii, Somali naceyb miyaa ku darsatay.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Fake news and propaganda against respectful congresswoman Ilhan

@IlhanMN @Ilhan #Hodhodhoo

@IlhanMN @Ilhan It's time for change. A true American. Raised in Minnesota. Ready to represent Minnesota in Congress. Omar needs to go. @Nagel4Congress

Democratic change is legitimate, but it must be earned through competence and results. Minnesotans deserve leadership grounded in substance, bipartisan solutions, and effective representation. If @Nagel4Congress seeks to serve, he should demonstrate how he can deliver for the district, rather than focusing on removing an incumbent.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Let's start with honesty and integrity.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Absolutely, honesty and integrity are essential. That’s why inclusive leadership matters. When every community is heard and respected, we all move forward together.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Ma waxa mooda ina recognition ku heleyso inad Rep. @Ilhan wax ka sheegto ? cidna wax ksma qaadi karto adna aqoonsi ku heli meysid naceybka aad u qabto gabadha asal Somaliga maskiin yahow.

Resorting to insults exposes your ignorance, while pretending Rep. @Ilhan Omar serves foreign interests shows you don’t understand American politics. Being against Somaliland recognition doesn’t let you dictate what a U.S. Representative can say. Rep. Omar serves her American constituents first. Bias and fear aren’t arguments. Somaliland’s decades of self-governance are facts, not opinions to be silenced.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Doqon

@IlhanMN @Ilhan low-1Q, you are sick, .You see Rep.#IhanOmar voted by the Americans and has a right to talk about back home if necessary as other Congressmen and Congresswomen do. U have no idea what American politics is about.Seats came by hard work and not a gift,so she deservedly in Congress

Insults and IQ slurs don’t make your point they show your weak grasp of politics. Rep. Ilhan Omar is elected to represent her U.S. district, not to gatekeep foreign loyalties. Winning a seat doesn’t give anyone a free pass; real influence comes from action, accountability, and governance, not shouting from the sidelines.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Remind you ,America is a diverse country.All Congresssmen and women are from different backgrounds and all following the politics of their original homes, and they talk about it,so what makes Rep.@Ihan different ? US & many West politicians talk about our politics,she is one.

Members of Congress represent their U.S. districts first. Most, even if they support Israel, don’t alienate or block parts of their communities. Rep. @Ilhan Omar, however, has sideline Somaliland Americans, using her office to gatekeep access a clear deviation from her constitutional duty. Policy positions are one thing; denying constituents equal representation is another.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan @ihan American citizen, esp. Her distinct wouldn't have voted her if she is not important to them.And I don't get what makes you differentiate USA communities, which is the same to me ? I confirm your recognition of the clan- enclave is far 4 coming showing off the hatred you have 4her

Being elected doesn’t give a representative license to ignore parts of their constituency. Rep. @Ilhan Omar sidelining Somaliland Americans isn’t hatred it’s accountability. We weren’t involved before, but we are now let’s see the outcome. Recognition of Somaliland isn’t about clans; it’s about fair representation for all constituents.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan @ihan Am against lies and defamatory, Rep.@Ilhan never works the division of her community. She endorsed Aisha,who was competing with a Somali origin man Nasir warsame ,I got annoyed, but she was doing what she represents to be fair to her community. BTW her strength attaracted me bye

@IlhanMN @Ilhan @ihan She is talking about our community, the people she represents as a Congresswoman.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan What about Israeli senators and representatives that believe Israel first you should condemn all

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Stop creating a smokescreen to distract the people of MN and the US from the millions stolen from Feeding Our Future by the self-appointed ‘Foreign Minister’ @min_abdirahman and his wife. Enough with the deflection; condemn the disgrace they’ve brought upon the Somali community.

Stop hiding behind sensationalism. Smearing the Somaliland American community isn’t news it’s bias. They have nothing to do with this; conflating them is unfair. If you care about corruption, focus on evidence, not weaponizing it. Using this as a smokescreen exposes who’s playing politics, not seeking accountability.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan @min_abdirahman @munafidhin is the wife of the self-appointed ‘Foreign Minister,’ @min_abdirahman. They donated 90,000 from the stolen money. “You can’t hide the sun, the moon, and the truth.”

@IlhanMN @Ilhan America has zero tolerance for terrorism or terrorist sympathizers.

Zero tolerance for terrorism? Good then let’s also have zero tolerance for lazy talking-points that smear entire communities instead of dealing with facts. Real national security comes from intelligence, partnerships, and policy not blanket accusations thrown around to score cheap political points. If you’re serious about defending America, start by being serious about the conversation.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan The fact, don’t bring Somali dirty laundry to be washed on American soil. . America first…🇺🇸

@IlhanMN @Ilhan iidoor gaalo raac

@haadka @IlhanMN @Ilhan Help vote her out. @Nagel4Congress

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Elliens of somalia 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@IlhanMN @Ilhan No matter how much you kiss a** or cry… there’s no such thing as “somaliland-American” never heard of it never exists so get with the reality my fellow Somali :)

Denying people’s identity won’t erase political reality. Somaliland-Americans exist, vote, organize, and advocate precisely because of this kind of bias the same bias @Ilhan normalizes when she treats one community as legitimate and dismisses the other as imaginary. In American politics, every community has the right to speak for itself. You don’t get to decide who exists.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan What language do “somaliland-Americans” speak? If a cat was to bark it’s still a cat, no matter how many times it barks and tries to identify as a dog.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan People hate truth

Whatever fraud has happened in Minnesota is a painful and unsettling shame one that never should have occurred. But I want the American people to know this clearly: the vast majority of East Africans in Minnesota are hardworking, decent, and committed to this country. I am living proof. For more than 20 years I’ve been teaching our children and serving Minnesotans every single morning with one goal in mind: to make someone’s life better than it was yesterday. That’s why this scheme must be fully investigated. We should use every tool available to get to the bottom of it and ensure it never happens again.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Are you ignoring the facts on purpose, Members of Congress are elected to represent their American districts, yet many seem to prioritize Israel instead. Rather than attacking her, have you ever questioned why other members of Congress show such strong support for Israel?

Members of Congress represent their U.S. districts first. Most, even if they support Israel, don’t alienate or block parts of their communities. Rep. @Ilhan Omar, however, has sideline Somaliland Americans, using her office to gatekeep access a clear deviation from her constitutional duty. Policy positions are one thing; denying constituents equal representation is another.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan I can tell you’re too afraid to address Israel honestly. Why avoid answering are you not brave enough to respond?

@IlhanMN @Ilhan This isn’t fear it’s focus. Foreign policy deserves facts and nuance, not soundbites. Serving constituents comes first, and honest discussion means engaging thoughtfully, not reacting for effect.

@Erispay @IlhanMN @Ilhan Isaaq idoors only know how to attack other Somalis and spread lies and propaganda well buckle up buttercup there is no ictiraaf coming for you in this world and whatever you go after I heard it’s pretty hot.

@fuadcab @Erispay @IlhanMN @Ilhan We are not Somalis hallo and we hate them

@_lilpimp_ @Erispay @IlhanMN @Ilhan Many Somaliland-Americans are frustrated and angry because @Ilhan and others have discriminated, sidelined and not listing their concerns, and ignored what they truly care about.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Sidan ba laga raba.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan WTH is going on in Minnesota…?

@IlhanMN @Ilhan NACALAD KUGU DHACDAY.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Qolooyinka ay istic masho bad tahay. Asshole!

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Dulli baad tahay oo aan diin iyo damiir midna lahayn. Nacala abuuk

@IlhanMN @Ilhan

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Age is clearly wasted on you, you useless waste of sperm. Dulli

@IlhanMN @Ilhan You’re a laangaab brother and you will never have a say in Minnesota. Gaalada aad u dhuuqayso kuma yaqaanan 🤡 🤣 what a clown

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Calling me “the one sucking up to infidels” and throwing insults doesn’t give you any power. Influence in Minnesota comes from ideas, action, and results, not cheap attacks and clowning from the sidelines.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan In your bio it says “uniting people” but your trying to cause division within the somali community. Shame on you 🤦‍♂️

Uniting people doesn’t mean ignoring facts or condoning exclusion. Speaking truth and holding leaders accountable is part of real leadership and the power to unify. Highlighting how some officials sideline Somaliland Americans isn’t division it’s about ensuring all voices are represented. True unity comes from inclusion, accountability, and honest dialogue, not silence.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is most effective advocate representing her constituent. She is a proud Somali American.

Your obsession with personal loyalty and personal love is just a fantasy that’s for you to entertain, not for public politics. A member of Congress owes their duty to all Minnesotans, not to outsiders or diaspora politics. Real effectiveness is measured by how well she serves every constituent, not just the ones you choose to favor.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Ur ethnocentric motivated hate 4 this Congresswoman makes it difficult to rationally debate with you. Good luck!

@IlhanMN @Ilhan And you are ambassador of Abyssinia🧐

@IlhanMN @Ilhan They don’t care about💰they waste more on weekend trips. Instead of cracking down on 🇷🇺 & 🇨🇳communities who conduct massive scams/gangs, they focus on smaller communities. It’s all about power and future votes. Somalia united without tribe beef can be control 2-3 states n future

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Crying after Somali figers are is not a men issue. Shame on you guys especially Isak clan elders. You have to behave like a wise men.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Ilhaan the Queen 👸 ✨️

@IlhanMN @Ilhan Somaliland is cancer to every Somali Living around the globe your hate is too much waar Sidan waax kumaheleysan dadka Somalida haisku dirina ....

@IlhanMN @Ilhan She also claims that the white man is the enemy…then why doesn’t she self deport, and run the government in Somalia where there are no white men in government?

@IlhanMN @Ilhan It would be more accurate to describe her as "installed" rather than elected.

@IlhanMN @Ilhan She’s despicable.
