Republicans continue to fixate on
Ilhan Omar.
During a Tuesday, June 17, appearance on Fox News, the founder of
OutKick,
Clay Travis, boldly responded when asked about the United States Representative's claim that America is becoming "one of the worst countries" under
Donald Trump's leadership: "Go back to Somalia," he said.

While speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Clay Travis reacted to Ilhan Omar's statements about the state of the country with Donald Trump as president.
"When I see a clip like that, Sean, presumably Ilhan Omar is a citizen of two different countries. I'm not, I'm a citizen of one country, I happen to think it's the best in the history of the world, so I'm not going anywhere, but why doesn't she go back to Somalia?" the right-winger asked. "If she's now looking at the United States, thinks it's an awful place, presumably she's still a citizen of Somalia."
Travis oddly applauded the commander-in-chief's arch nemesis Rosie O'Donnell for leaving the United States after Trump returned to the White House.
"If I hated the country that I was in and I had dual citizenship, wouldn't you go to the other one?" he continued. "I don't give Rosie O'Donnell a lot of credit for anything, but she decided she didn't like the United States anymore and she left and went to Ireland. I don't think the Irish people are that excited. Can you imagine if you're in Ireland and you hear that you get a celebrity and you got Rosie? Rosie O'Donnell? They didn't get Sydney Sweeney, they got Rosie O'Donnell, they're not exactly getting a good trade in my mind there."
"Yeah, I don't think that's a good trade at all. Good point," Hannity added.

On Friday, June 13, Ilhan Omar gave her candid thoughts on Donald Trump bringing in the National Guard to combat ICE protests in Los Angeles, Calif., and his ongoing need to incite violence.
"I grew up in a dictatorship and I don't even remember ever witnessing anything like that," the politician said in an
interview. "To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries, where the military are in our streets without any regard for people's constitutional rights, while our president's spending millions of dollars propping himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade, it is really shocking."
"It should be a wakeup call for all Americans to say this is not the country we were born in, this is not the country we believe in, this is not the country our founding fathers imagined and this is not the country that is supported by our Constitution, our ideals, our values," she continued. "We should all collectively be out in the streets rejecting what is taking place this week."

This is far from the first time someone on the right has attacked Ilhan Omar. In 2019, Republican Senator Rand Paul offered the left-winger "a ticket to go visit Somalia."
The comment sparked outrage across the country, with one person on X writing, "Rand Paul is perfectly happy to buy a ticket to being a Donald Trump-like racist."
"This garbage person voted AGAINST funding healthcare for 9/11 responders. Ilhan Omar voted for it. Appreciating America? How about appreciating American heroes. He is trash. PERIOD," another wrote.
"Would like to nominate Rand Paul as our next ambassador to the sun," a third added.
