Rep. Ilhan Omar compared Stephen Miller’s statements about migrants to Nazi descriptions of Jewish people during a Sunday television interview.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., compared White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller’s remarks about migrants to the way Nazis described Jewish people during an interview on Sunday.
CBS host Margaret Brennan asked Omar to respond to a statement Miller made about migrants. He wrote on social media, “No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.”
Omar said it was “White supremacist rhetoric” before comparing it to Nazis describing Jewish people.
“It reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany. And you know, as we know, there have been many immigrants who have tried to come to the United States who have turned back, you know, one of them being Jewish immigrants.
