"Much of the Minnesota Fraud, up to 90%, is caused by people that came into our Country, illegally, from Somalia. ‘Congresswoman’ Omar, an ungrateful loser who only complains and never contributes, is one of the many scammers. Did she really marry her brother? Lowlifes like this can only be a liability to our Country’s greatness. Send them back from where they came, Somalia, perhaps the worst, and most corrupt, country on earth. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!" he declared.

Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of Omar and Walz to request comment but did not immediately hear back.
Newsom's office pointed Fox News Digital to a post on the governor's press office X account that described the president as "a deranged, habitual liar whose relationship with reality ended years ago." The governor's office asserted that Newsom has "blocked over $125 BILLION in fraud, arrested criminal parasites leaching off of taxpayers, and protected taxpayers from the exact kind of scam artists Trump celebrates, excuses, and pardons."
