Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) called for the expulsion of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after she gave a speech expressing irredentist views about her homeland, Somalia.
Omar came under fire this week after a speech she gave in Somali to a crowd in Minneapolis over the weekend was spread widely across social media. Though the translation of the speech has become controversial, all interpretations appear to show that she promised to advance Somali interests through her position in Congress. She vowed to sway the United States to support the Somali government over land disputes, referring to land held by Ethiopia.
