flag Trump mocked Reps. Crockett and Omar with racist, sexist remarks, drawing condemnation.

flag President Donald Trump made disparaging remarks about Democratic Representatives Jasmine Crockett and Ilhan Omar during an Oval Office event, calling Crockett a "very low IQ person" and suggesting Somalia’s leader might take Omar back to her birth country, comments that drew laughter from attendees. flag Trump, who has frequently targeted members of the progressive "Squad," falsely claimed Crockett was related to Davy Crockett and criticized her for comparing ICE to slave patrols. flag His remarks, which included mispronouncing Omar’s name and referencing her heritage, were part of a broader pattern of attacks on Black women in politics. flag The White House, Crockett, and Omar did not immediately respond. flag The outburst shifted focus from policy signings, including a partial TikTok sale, and drew condemnation from Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette Clarke, who called the rhetoric a sign of escalating hostility.
