Overview
- On Monday, the White House posted on X a 2024 photo of President Trump waving from a McDonald’s drive-through window in response to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comments about deportation.
- The clip comes from Omar’s October appearance on The Dean Obeidallah Show, where she said she was not worried about deportation and could “go live wherever” she wanted.
- The End Wokeness account reposted the video on X, drawing more than 1 million views and fresh attention to her remarks.
- President Trump wrote on Nov. 1 on Truth Social, “She should go back!” alongside a video related to Omar’s comments at a Somali community event.
- Trump has claimed Somalia’s president declined to “take her back,” a story Omar called fabricated; Omar arrived in the U.S. as a refugee in 1995 and became a citizen in 2000.
