Ilhan Omar accuses Republican of 'racist' attack on Cori Bush in wake of DOJ investigation bombshell

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) accused Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) of invoking a “racist and tired” trope in his criticism of Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) and demanded he be condemned for his words.

Omar reacted to Nehls’s comments on the heels of Bush confirming that she is under investigation by the Department of Justice for alleged misuse of federal security money. Nehls told CNN that she pays “her thug,” an apparent reference to her husband, who she has paid for security, while bashing police.
