VP Vance Rips Ilhan Omar Over Resurfaced ‘Fearful of White Men’ Clip
A resurfaced clip of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive “Squad,” ignited a firestorm on social media this week, as conservatives slammed her for past remarks about the “radicalization of White men.”
“I would say our country should be more fearful of White men across our country, because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country,” Omar told Middle East outlet Al-Jazeera in 2018 as she discussed domestic terrorism threats in the United States and in response to a question on how much concern “jihadism” poses to the United States.
“And so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men,” she added.
Her race-tinged and wholly inaccurate remarks, which were re-posted by conservative influencer accounts including Laura Loomer and LibsofTikTok, racking up millions of views, sparked outrage from conservatives on social media, including from inside the White House.
“This isn’t just sick; it’s actually genocidal language,” Vice President JD Vance posted on X. “What a disgrace this person is.”
“This is blatant racism,” GOP Sen. Mike Lee
posted on X. “Who condemns it?”
“@ilhanMN never ceases to be an embarrassment for Minnesota,” GOP Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer, who represents Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District, posted on X
.
“There’s never been a more anti-American member of Congress than Ilhan Omar,” conservative influencer Paul Szypula wrote on X.
Omar’s office responded to a media inquiry by pointing Fox News Digital to
her X post where she responded to Vance.
“In this nearly 8yr old clip, I am referring to the rise of white nationalism in an annual report issued by the Anti-Defamation League that said white supremacists were responsible for 78 percent of “extremist-related murders,” Omar said. “PS you should look up what ‘genocidal’ actually means when you’re actively supporting a genocide taking place in Gaza.”
Omar was referring to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas after the terrorist group, based in Gaza, launched a surprise attack against the Jewish state in October 2023, massacring more than 1,300 people and taking more than 200 people hostage — many of whom have been killed while in captivity.
Also, Omar has a history of anti-Semitism which has been condemned by Jewish members of her own party.
First-term GOP Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas in February called on the Trump administration to send Omar back to her homeland of Somalia.
“America would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia,” Gill wrote Tuesday on the X platform.
Included in Gill’s tweet was a video clip featuring Omar, where she appears to be coaching fellow Somalis living in the U.S. — perhaps illegally — how to resist federal immigration officials.
The video was posted by conservative influencer Greg Price, who wrote: “Ilhan Omar is now hosting workshops for Somalians living in the country illegally to advise them on how to avoid being deported.”
Several X users backed Gill.
“100%! She’s anti-American as they come. She pledged allegiance to the United States and has only ever acted against it. She’s a fraud, liar, and traitor to this country!” one
wrote.
“Isn’t this against the law? Expel her!” said another.
Another user offered: “She is committing federal crimes by telling illegal immigrants how to avoid ice. She deserves to be investigated and prosecuted.”
Later, Gill wrote that “we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”
A spokesperson for Gill told The Hill, “Representative Omar’s conduct raises questions about to whom she is most loyal- the American people or illegal aliens from Somalia. Representative Gill simply stated that it is disgraceful for a sitting Congresswoman and US citizen to facilitate the invasion of our country by illegal alien Somalis.”
Omar, for years, has also been suspected of committing fraud to enter the United States through various means, though no evidence of wrongdoing has surfaced
Panic Spreads Across Washington, D.C. They Will Lose 19 U.S. House Seats After Supreme Court Ruling Could Give Republicans
WASHINGTON, D.C. — May 2, 2026
New population projections suggest Democrats could face a growing structural disadvantage in future presidential and congressional elections following the 2030 Census, as demographic shifts continue to favor faster-growing states that have leaned Republican in recent cycles.
Estimates show several large Democratic-leaning states may lose Electoral College votes, while a handful of Republican-leaning states are expected to gain representation due to sustained population growth. Under current projections, Texas could add as many as three Electoral College votes, Florida may gain two, and smaller increases are anticipated for states such as Idaho and Utah, each potentially adding one additional vote.
At the same time, traditionally Democratic strongholds could lose ground. California is projected to lose up to three Electoral College votes, Illinois could lose two, and New York and Rhode Island are each expected to lose one vote.
These changes are determined by population growth patterns that dictate how congressional seats — and by extension Electoral College votes — are apportioned every ten years following the census. Each state’s Electoral College total equals its number of House seats plus two senators, meaning population gains or losses directly influence presidential math over time.
Analysis indicates that population growth in southern and western states is outpacing that of large coastal states, creating long-term challenges for Democrats in national elections. Several factors are driving these migration patterns, including lower housing costs, job opportunities, and more favorable tax environments in states like Texas and Florida, which have attracted residents from higher-cost areas such as California and New York. Some regions in the Northeast and Midwest have experienced slower growth or even population declines.
These trends have already begun to reshape the Electoral College map. After the 2020 Census, states like Texas and Florida gained seats, while California lost a congressional seat for the first time in its history. If current projections hold through the end of the decade, the impact could be even more pronounced in the 2032 presidential election and beyond.
One key implication is that the traditional Democratic path to 270 Electoral College votes may become more difficult. In recent elections, Democrats have relied on a coalition of large blue states combined with key battlegrounds in the Midwest. However, with fewer votes coming from those large states, the party may need to expand its map into faster-growing Sun Belt states such as Arizona, Georgia, or North Carolina to remain competitive.
Analysts caution that population trends do not automatically translate into political outcomes. People moving from traditionally Democratic states to Republican-leaning states may bring their voting preferences with them, potentially making those states more competitive over time. Additionally, census accuracy, economic conditions, and future migration patterns could all influence the final apportionment results. Early projections often shift as new data becomes available.
It is also important to note that both parties could be affected by these changes in different ways. While Republicans may benefit from gains in certain states, competitive states losing or gaining seats could reshape the battlefield for both sides.
Still, the broader trajectory points to a gradual shift in political power toward faster-growing regions of the country. That shift has implications not just for presidential elections, but also for congressional representation and federal funding allocations.
For Democrats, the challenge may be less about any single election cycle and more about adapting to long-term demographic and geographic changes. For Republicans, the opportunity lies in maintaining or expanding their advantage in high-growth states while remaining competitive in key swing regions.
As the 2030 Census approaches, these trends are likely to become a central focus for strategists in both parties, shaping campaign strategies, policy priorities, and the evolving map of American politics.
