US President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar during a speech in Florida, reviving unproven claims about her personal life and making derogatory remarks about her country of origin, Somalia.
In his address, Trump alleged that Ilhan had married her brother, a claim that has circulated in right-wing circles but has never been substantiated, and mocked the supposed illegality of such a relationship.
Trump said, "I believe she married her brother, which is totally illegal," before ridiculing her in a string of taunts.
Omar responded strongly on social media platform X, dismissing Trump's remarks as an "unhinged rant" and targeting his legal record, referring to his felony convictions and past allegations.
The latest exchange marks another escalation in a long-running feud between the two.
