Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., suggested on Thursday that Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., is racist a day after he had a fiery exchange over racism at Michael Cohen’s hearing in front of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

Omar shared a video posted by liberal activist Shaun King on her Instagram story, which showed Meadows talking in 2012 about sending President Barack Obama “back home to Kenya or wherever.”
