The powerful House Oversight Committee chairman, James Comer, tore into Rep. Ilhan Omar after the far-left pol astonishingly suggested that President Trump is a pedophile — and should be executed.
Omar (D-Minn.), a fierce critic of the president, threw the demented tantrum after Trump appeared on Fox Business to discuss fraud in her home state of Minnesota, in which he claimed that the theft exceeds $19 billion.
“The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files,” she wrote on X, alongside a clip of the interview, in which Trump also criticized her.
“At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them.”
Comer (R-Ky.) swiftly clapped back, saying that the “Squad” member needs to “keep her mouth shut” unless she is explaining her husband’s sudden surge in net worth.
“Of all the people to make any comment, Ilhan Omar is the one person in Congress who probably needs to keep her mouth shut,” Comer raged on NewsNation’s “Katie Pavlich Tonight” Wednesday night.
“If she’s going to tweet anything, she needs to explain to the American people how her net worth went from zero to $10 million in one year, and explain why the Biden Department of Justice was investigating her husband’s financial activities over the course of that year, where her net worth ballooned up.”
While Trump was mentioned in the Epstein files multiple times, there is no credible evidence that he engaged in anything nefarious.
The president has frequently singled out Omar’s ties to Somalia in the wake of a fraud scandal roiling Minnesota that has centered around the Somali population there.
“If she likes Somalia so much, she should go back to Somalia, and I can tell you, with what we’re investigating in Minnesota and the depositions and transcribed interviews that we’re getting right now as we speak,” Comer added.
“It’s really bad the amount of Somali fraud in all the different welfare programs. So Ilhan Omar really needs to keep her mouth shut.”
Comer’s jab at Omar, who immigrated to the US from Somalia when she was 12, also referenced how her net worth mysteriously grew to as much as $30 million, though precise numbers are not provided in House financial disclosures.
That surge in wealth was driven by her husband, the value of whose Rose Lake Capital rocketed from close to zero in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million, as The Post previously reported.
His winery business, which has been subject to fraud accusations, also jumped in value to between $1 million and $5 million in 2024.
“The Biden Department of Justice was investigating her husband’s financial activities over the course of that year where her net worth ballooned up,” Comer sniped. “This is a simple question. It shouldn’t take long to answer.”
