Ilhan Omar Defends 2018 Remarks as VP Vance Cries "Genocidal Language" | Firstpost America | N18G

A resurfaced 2018 interview has reignited political tensions between Vice President JD Vance and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. In the clip, Omar suggests the US should profile white men, citing their role in domestic extremism. Vance called her remarks "genocidal language" and a disgrace, fuelling outrage across conservative circles. Omar defended her statement, referencing data from the Anti-Defamation League showing white supremacists were behind most extremist-related murders. She also accused Vance of hypocrisy over his support for Israel's actions in Gaza. The clash has added fresh heat, with both figures doubling down as debates over race, security, and political rhetoric intensify.
