JD Vance has fired back at Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota after a resurfaced 2018 clip showed her making controversial statements about white men—remarks Vance labeled as “genocidal language.”
“This isn’t just sick; it’s actually genocidal language,” Vance wrote.
“What a disgrace this person is.”
In the clip, Omar made sweeping and inflammatory claims, stating:
“I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country, because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.”
She went on to say:
“We should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.”
Omar, who came to the United States as a teenager in 1995 after fleeing the Somali Civil War, has drawn increasing criticism for rhetoric that many argue targets Americans based on race.
Since settling in the U.S., Omar has regularly courted controversy for her views—many of which appear to undermine the very freedoms and liberties the country granted her.
Her 2018 remarks stand out not only for their racially charged tone but also for the casual manner in which they were delivered.
Vance’s accusation that Omar’s words constitute “genocidal language” is not without merit.
The congresswoman’s call to profile individuals based on race echoes ideologies long rejected by democratic societies.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect is that Omar faced no electoral consequences for her statements.
Her comments, framed as progressive, have instead spotlighted a growing concern over double standards in public discourse.
Fighting racism does not mean endorsing racism against another group.
To use discrimination in the name of justice is, as the article implies, kind of like going to war for peace—a contradiction with dangerous implications.
