Omar's Resurfaced Clip Draws Criticism From Dem Strategist

A resurfaced clip of Rep. Ilhan Omar from 2018 isn’t just drawing a response from Vice President JD Vance and other conservatives—it’s prompting backlash from Democratic strategists, too.

In a 2018 interview with Al Jazeera, the Minnesota progressive said the nation should be “more fearful of white men across our country, because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.”

"This isn’t just sick; it’s actually genocidal language," Vance commented on X. "What a disgrace this person is."

Speaking at the Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Summit in London on Wednesday, Democratic strategist James Carville joined in the criticism. 

“Ilhan Omar says that white men are responsible for most of the deaths in the United States,” he said. “So let me get this straight: 69 percent of the people — why I’m stuck on that number, I don’t know, but 69% of the people going to vote are white. Of that, 48.5 are males. So, I don’t know, my rough math is 33 percent?

“That’s a lot of pissed off 33 percent of people that vote, and that’s a smart strategy?” Carville continued. “And there are people that agree with her! There are people that actually agree with her! And I think it’s — honestly, I think these people are more trouble than they’re worth.”

Carville may be wrong on a lot of issues, but on this, he hit the nail on the head. 

Omar responded to Vance's criticism, defending her remarks. 

"In this nearly 8yr old clip, I am referring to the rise of white nationalism in an annual report issued by the Anti-Defamation League that said white supremacists were responsible for 78 percent of 'extremist-related murders,'" she said, in part.
