Ilhan Omar has never been shy about expressing her radical views.
The controversial Congresswoman has made headlines for her anti-American rhetoric before.
But Ilhan Omar just made one shocking comment that left this reporter speechless.
U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has developed a reputation for making inflammatory statements during her time in Congress.
But her latest outburst on camera reveals just how little respect she has for the press and basic decency.
On Thursday, when approached by Daily Caller News Foundation video reporter Myles Morell with a straightforward question about immigration policy, Omar responded with profanity not once, but twice.
“Congresswoman Omar, I’m Myles Morell with the Daily Caller News Foundation. Do you think more of your Democratic colleagues should be traveling to El Salvador to advocate on behalf of Abrego Garcia?” the reporter asked.
“I think you should f*ck off,” Omar responded calmly, using the full expletive.
Clearly shocked by her response, Morell gave her a chance to clarify.
“I’m sorry. What, Congresswoman?” he asked.
“F*ck off,” she repeated without hesitation.
“Who should?” Morell asked.
“You,” Omar replied.

The stunning exchange was captured on video and posted to the Daily Caller’s social media accounts on Thursday, quickly gaining traction online.
An aide to the Congresswoman attempted to defuse the situation by trying to cover the camera lens with a business card.
“We’re not taking any more questions right now, but here you go,” the aide said.
“Yeah, thanks,” Morell responded as the video ended.
The question that triggered Omar’s profane response concerned Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a detained migrant who has become a focal point in the ongoing immigration debate.
Morell was simply asking if Omar believed more Democrats should be traveling to El Salvador to advocate on his behalf.
This is not the first time Omar has generated controversy with her comments and behavior.
Since taking office in 2019, she has repeatedly made statements that many Americans find deeply troubling.
Her hostility toward a reporter simply doing his job raises serious questions about her temperament and fitness for office.
The First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press, which includes the right of journalists to ask elected officials tough questions about matters of public interest.
Omar’s refusal to engage with legitimate inquiries – and her choice to respond with vulgarity instead – demonstrates a disturbing contempt for democratic norms.
As an elected representative in the United States Congress, Omar’s conduct reflects not only on herself but on the institution she serves.
The shocking video serves as yet another example of the increasing hostility some progressive politicians show toward media outlets that don’t align with their ideology.
Rather than engaging with the substance of the question, Omar chose to attack the messenger in the most vulgar terms possible.
Omar’s district in Minnesota deserves representation from someone who can handle basic questions without resorting to profanity and dismissal.
The incident has sparked outrage among conservatives and raised eyebrows even among some Democrats who recognize that such behavior undermines public discourse and degrades our political culture.
In a time when America needs leaders who can bring people together and engage in civil dialogue, Omar has once again shown she is more interested in divisive rhetoric than productive conversation.
