Dem Rep. Ilhan Omar deflected criticism saying it is severe hate towards her for being Muslim, Black, female and an immigrant:"There is a lot of hate in this country for Muslims and Black people, especially Black women.And there is a lot of severe hate for immigrants, and so I fit them all.But the reality in this country is that the First Amendment does not only protect speech, it also protects the right and liberty of anyone to practice their faith.I do practice the Muslim faith. I am an immigrant. I am proud of both of those things.And I was, of course, born in Somalia -which Trump likes to mention- and I am proud of my Somali heritage. That is not something they can take away from me."Source: CNN/X
