Watch: GOP Lawmaker Drops Bomb Saying Ilhan Omar Will Be Out of Congress Without a Vote to Expel Even Being Needed, Dems Powerless to Stop It
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s days in Congress are numbered, according to a leading Republican member of Congress.
In a recent interview, Rep. Tom Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota, was asked whether Republicans planned any effort to oust Omar before she would be protected by Democrats when they take over control of the House in January.
“I don’t think we’re going to need to,” Emmer said in a video posted to X.
“I think Ilhan Omar, she’s a dishonest, anti-American individual who has lied about her age for years,” he said.
Emmer was referring to reports that Omar’s birth year was changed on her citizenship documents so that she could apply for citizenship as part of her family and not on her own, which would have been required if she were 18 at the time of the application.

“Why did she lie about her age? She lied because you get naturalized as a citizen with your natural parent when they are naturalized, if you are under the age of 18,” Emmer said. “Well, she was not under the age of 18. She lied about that so she could be naturalized.”
Emmer said allowing the administrative process to move forward is more efficient than trying to get Omar expelled by the House.
“At the end of the day, that’s the easiest thing. She would have to reapply to be a citizen — it’s an administrative procedure. She shouldn’t be in Congress,” he said.

Asked again about House action, Emmer replied, “I said we don’t have to.”
“I think what’s going to happen is they’re going to confirm that her birth date was actually over the age of 18 when she claimed to be a minor to be naturalized,” he said.
There are still charges being considered by the Department of Justice that could result in an indictment.
“The indictment is completely separate, and that will go through in court,” Emmer said.

“What I’m saying is the birth date is an administrative procedure, and once it’s established that she was over the age of 18 when she claimed to be a minor, she’s no longer a citizen of the United States,” he continued. “And when she’s no longer a citizen, she’s not entitled to serve in Congress.”
Asked about whether a determination has been made about Omar’s actual birth date, Emmer said, “I think the Department of Justice is finalizing that.”
In addition to questions about her citizenship documents, Omar is under investigation for possible marriage fraud in connection with allegations that she married her brother.
