Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar slammed Fox News host Tucker Carlson as a “racist fool” who was “weeping” over her presence as a lawmaker. Omar was responding to a Tuesday night segment of Carlson’s show in which the host skewered Omar for repeated criticisms of the United States.

Carlson described the harrowing journey of a young Omar and her family to the U.S. from war-torn Somalia and her subsequent rise to prominence in Congress. He said, “Ilhan Omar has an awful lot to be grateful for. But she isn’t grateful – not at all.” Omar, who recently made controversial comments about the terrorists responsible for the attacks of Sept. 11, said in 2017 that the U.S. was “founded by genocide.”
