Michelle Obama takes to Twitter over Ilhan Omar attacks
Former first lady Michelle Obama rarely weighs in on politics -- even when asked -- but she did take an apparent shot at the current president in a tweet on Friday evening.
The comments appear to be in reference to Donald Trumps's recent attacks on"The Squad" -- a group of new congresswomen, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. Trump has particularly singled out Omar, who along with Tlaib are the first Muslim women to serve in Congress, in recent days.
The crowd at a Trump rally on Wednesday night chanted"send her back" when he brought up Omar -- a reference to a tweet attacking the four congresswomen he had sent the previous day. Omar apologized earlier this year after she tweeted,"It's all about the Benjamins, baby," in reference to Republican politicians not criticizing Israel due to them taking money from pro-Israel organizations. Trump called the comments"anti-Semitic" for their reference to Jews and money, and said Omar should resign at the time.
