‘Kick her a** to the curb’: Dr. Phil torches Ilhan Omar over ‘disgusting’ anti-American rhetoric

Dr. Phil McGraw condemned Democrat Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Monday for repeatedly espousing anti-American rhetoric.

Omar claimed in a June 13 interview on “Democracy Now!” that America was becoming “one of the worst countries” as she took issue with the Army’s June 14 250th anniversary parade. Dr. Phil, on “The Real Story,” criticized Omar for her comments, arguing she should be more grateful to be in the United States after fleeing Somalia and gaining refuge status in America.

“You can’t make this up. Who are we talking about here? Omar fled Somalia — a failed state, a country ravaged by civil war, corruption and poverty — and she spent years in a Kenyan refugee camp,” Dr. Phil said. “I hate that for her. I really do. She resettled in the U.S. as a refugee — so happy for her. She was given housing, afforded education, opportunity, freedom. She became a citizen in 2000 at 17. Again, so happy for her. Thank God she escaped that terrible life.”

“And she was elected to Congress, one of the first Muslim women in the House. The American Dream,” he continued. “She has every reason to be thankful. Is she? Not even almost! Instead, she spends her time bashing the very country that saved her and her family.”

Dr. Phil further characterized Omar’s rhetoric as “disgusting.”

“She has the right to say what she’s saying. Culturally, psychologically, I think it’s disgusting. But does she have the right to say it? Yeah, she does — just like I have the right to say it’s absolutely disgusting!” he said. “And whoever voted for her now knows who they voted for and should kick her ass to the curb!”

Dr. Phil also called out Omar for equating the U.S. and Israel with the Taliban and Hamas in a June 2021 tweet.

“We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban,” she wrote.

Dr. Phil said it was “crazy talk” for Omar to include America in her list of entities committing horrific acts.

Moreover, he criticized the congresswoman for saying “some people did something” when describing the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America during a 2019 speech to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

“Really? ‘Some people did something’? Way to stand up for your country,” Dr. Phil said.
