‘You Will Respect Our President!’ Ilhan Omar Defended Trump Hard When a European Diplomat Trashed Him, GOP Congresswoman Claims

Here is something from the “You Wouldn’t Have Bet on It” file: Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) passionately sticking up for President Donald Trump (R) to European politicians while traveling abroad.

But that is exactly what happened, according to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who shocked businessman and political commentator Patrick Bet-David by telling him the story on his PBD Podcast on Thursday.

Omar, Luna said, was part of a House delegation that went to speak with several members of the European Union in April. Luna said on the trip there was a “total as*hole” from Belgium who started ripping the congressmembers, saying how Trump did not “respect” them and felt they were a “joke.”

That is when Omar, Luna said, jumped in, stared at the Belgian politician, and rebuked him.

“You might not like what our president is doing, and you might not agree with our foreign policy,” Omar said. “But when we’re here, you will respect our president!”

“Stop it,” a stunned PBD responded,

Luna told PBD that Omar’s defense of Trump “blew me away” and that it was pleasantly surprising. The Florida congresswoman added it was good for the Americans to present a “united front” when dealing with foreign leaders — especially when it comes to dealing with some “jerk from Belgium.”

Omar’s defense of Trump not only stands out because of the Democrat-Republican party difference, but because the Minnesota liberal has bashed the president repeatedly.

Earlier this month, she branded the president an “embarrassing, racist, corrupt liar,”  and she similarly blasted MAGA fans as “racist and xenophobic” in March. Trump, meanwhile, recently called Omar a “disgraceful person” for her reaction to conservative influencer Charlie Kirk being shot and killed.
