I have watched the president of the United States, the man in charge of the most powerful nation on earth, tell Americans like me to return to the “crime infested places” from which we came. I have watched him insinuate a Muslim American woman is in some way responsible for 9/11. It is little surprise that, following the infamous chants of “send her back” at a North Carolina Trump rally, security protecting Omar had to be stepped up. This is violent white supremacy in action.
Now Trump’s vitriol towards Omar has spilled into other domains. Most recently, a Facebook post indicates that Omar has been arrested 23 times and is the daughter of a Somali terrorist. The president himself has encouraged these conspiracy theories, telling reporters last week that there was “a lot of talk” that Omar was once married to her brother.
