Dr. Phil Obliterates Ilhan Omar for Anti-american Rhetoric, ‘Absolutely Disgusting’

Television host Dr. Phil McGraw sharply criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for recent comments in which she labeled the United States as one of the “worst countries,” calling her remarks “absolutely disgusting.”

McGraw’s comments were made Monday in response to an interview Omar gave last month where she condemned a military parade held on Flag Day, as reported by The New York Post.

“Here’s the thing: 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 and whoever voted for her now knows who they voted for and should kick her a– to the curb.’”

Omar, who immigrated to the United States from Somalia and was later elected to Congress, had spoken to Democracy Now! in June.

In the interview, she said, “I grew up in a dictatorship and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that to have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries, where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights.”

Her comments were aimed at a military parade on June 14—Flag Day, the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, and President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. (Read. more from “Dr. Phil Obliterates Ilhan Omar for Anti-american Rhetoric, ‘Absolutely Disgusting’” HERE)
