Ilhan Omar Compared a Jewish Trump Aide to Nazis and Nobody in the Media Batted an Eye
Ilhan Omar has spent years attacking Jewish Americans while Democrats looked the other way.
Now she's at it again with her most outrageous smear yet.
And Ilhan Omar compared a Jewish Trump aide to Nazis and nobody in the media batted an eye.
Omar Goes on National Television and Calls Stephen Miller a Nazi
U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) appeared on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday and delivered what may be her most disgraceful attack yet.
Host Margaret Brennan asked Omar to respond to a Thanksgiving Day social media post from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about mass migration.
Miller had written that "no magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders" and that "at scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands."¹
Omar's response was to smear the Jewish policy advisor as a Nazi sympathizer.
"When I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist rhetoric, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany," Omar said on national television.²
Let that sink in for a moment.
A sitting member of Congress went on CBS and compared a Jewish American to the regime that murdered six million Jews.
Stephen Miller's own family fled persecution in Europe.
And Ilhan Omar called him a Nazi.
Omar Has a Long History of Anti-Semitic Attacks
This isn't Omar's first rodeo when it comes to attacking Jewish Americans.
The Minnesota Democrat was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in February 2023 for her repeated anti-Semitic remarks.³
Back in 2019, she infamously tweeted that support for Israel was "all about the Benjamins" — invoking the age-old anti-Semitic trope that Jewish money controls politics.⁴
She later accused American Jews of having "dual loyalty" to Israel, another classic anti-Semitic smear that has been used to persecute Jews for centuries.⁵
Omar also described the September 11 terrorist attacks as "some people did something" at a fundraiser for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.⁶
And she has repeatedly compared the United States and Israel to terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban.⁷
The House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning anti-Semitism in 2019 that was widely seen as a rebuke of Omar's inflammatory rhetoric.⁸
But Democrats refused to name her directly in the resolution, giving her cover to continue her attacks.
The Media Gives Omar a Pass While Conservatives Face the Mob
Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany fired back at Omar on Monday, pointing out the absurdity of calling a Jewish man a Nazi.
"She accuses Stephen of being a Nazi. Stephen's Jewish, first of all. Stephen's a great person," McEnany said on Fox News.⁹
McEnany noted that Miller and his family have faced constant threats for their work securing America's borders.
"They have been under threat. And as Stephen Miller said, it's an organized campaign of dehumanization, vilification. And that's what this is," McEnany added.¹⁰
Conservative commentator C3 put it more bluntly on social media: "They don't kill you because you're a Nazi. They call you a Nazi so they can kill you. This is an incitement of violence."¹¹
The double standard here is staggering.
If a Republican had compared a Jewish Democrat to the Nazis, they would be hounded out of Congress within hours.
But Omar gets invited on CBS to spread her poison without any pushback from the host.
Omar knows exactly what she's doing.
She's using the most inflammatory language possible to delegitimize Trump's immigration policies and paint anyone who supports border security as a fascist.
It's the same playbook Democrats have used for years.
Can't win the argument on the merits? Just call your opponent a Nazi and move on.
President Trump has made clear he wants immigrants to assimilate and embrace American values.
That's not Nazi rhetoric — that's basic common sense that every nation on earth expects from people who want to live there.
But Omar can't have that conversation because she knows she'd lose.
So instead she goes on national television and compares a Jewish American to history's greatest monsters.
The media establishment will pretend this never happened by tomorrow.
But voters see the truth about who Ilhan Omar really is.
