The clip is real.
Not a rumor. Not a spin. Not a “misquote.” A recorded statement of Rep. Ilhan Omar telling Americans they “should be more fearful of white men across our country.”
And now she’s pretending it never happened.
The video is getting renewed attention because Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, is now denying she ever made the remark — despite it being preserved on camera for anyone with an internet connection and a pulse.
Here’s what Omar originally said:
“Our country should be more fearful of white men because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.” She added that if fear dictated safety policies, “we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.” Quite a statement, you might think.
When confronted by Alison Steinberg of LindellTV, Omar denied making the remark. She insisted, “I never said that,” and attributed her words to an FBI study. Talk about a convenient memory lapse. Maybe she thinks the American public has the attention span of a goldfish.
This isn’t just sick; it’s actually genocidal language.

What a disgrace this person is. https://t.co/2PHdporJHM
Lara Logan, the award-winning journalist, was having none of it either. She slammed Omar’s rhetoric, expressing her disgust for demonizing people based on skin color.
“I am sick to death of this hateful rhetoric. Sick to death of people being demonized for the color of their skin. My son will be a ‘white man’ one day & he does not deserve this. I don’t want anyone’s child demonized for the color of their skin. Ilhan Omar is a worthless thief & a liar. She can f*** off with her divisive politics which she is using now to cover up her crimes.”
President Trump, never one to shy away from a good tweet, also weighed in. He suggested Omar and her fellow Democrat, Rashida Tlaib, be “institutionalized” for their behavior during a State of the Union address. It’s clear Trump isn’t buying what Omar is selling.
