Rep. Ilhan Omar responds to Fox News host Brian Kilmeade after he questioned her allegiance to America, saying she is 'as American as everyone else is.'
Washington Rep. Ilhan Omar shot back at a Fox News host late Wednesday after he questioned her allegiance to America, saying she is"as American as everyone else is."
"When you have people on Fox News that question whether I am actually American or I put America first, I expect my colleagues to also say, 'that's not OK,'" Omar told"Late Show" host Stephen Colbert."Or when people say, you know, that because I'm a Muslim, I'm an immigrant, I'm a refugee, that I can't have any loyalty to our country. I took an oath. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution. I am as American as everyone else is.
— Brian Kilmeade April 10, 2019 During Omar's appearance on the"Late Show," she also seemed to compare Kilmeade's comments to ones she made earlier this year that many took offense to, saying she was insinuating that pro-Israel groups are pushing"allegiance to a foreign country.
