Dr Phil tells Ilhan Omar to 'return to Somalia' after she says US becoming one of the ‘worst countries’

WASHINGTON, DC: Phillip Calvin McGraw, popularly known as Dr Phil, called out Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn), on Monday, June 30, for criticizing America and saying it’s become one of the “worst countries” in the world.
The TV personality said, as per The New York Post, “Here’s the thing: she has the right to say what she’s saying; culturally, psychologically, I think it’s disgusting, but does she have the right to say it?”
“Yeah, she does, just like I have the right to say, ‘It’s absolutely disgusting and whoever voted for her now knows who they voted for and should kick her a** to the curb,’” he added.

Ilhan Omar slammed Trump’s military parade
Dr Phil’s punchback came after in June during an interview with Democracy Now!, the 42-year-old politician had said, “I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that to have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries, where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights.”

The Somalia-born was referring to Trump’s military parade on June 14 to mark the 250th anniversary of the American Army. June 14 was also the day when the Republican leader’s marked his 79th birthday.
She further noted, “Our president is spending millions of dollars [propping] himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade. It is really shocking, and it should be a wake-up call for all Americans to say this is not the country we were born in.”
“This is not the country we believe in, this is not the country our Founding Fathers imagined, and this is not the country that is supported by our Constitution, our ideals, our values, and we should all collectively be out in the streets rejecting what is taking place this week,” Omar added.
Dr Phil calls Ilhan Omar ungrateful
But Dr Phil was not agreeing with her.

The 74-year-old asserted, “Most shocking, instead of gratitude for America, she has the unmitigated gall to just spew nothing but unwavering disdain, and this isn’t new.”
“In 2019 she said this is not going to be the country of White people. In 2020 she said we must dismantle the whole system of oppression, so oppressive that she came here as a refugee, got all of these entitlements, and was elected to Congress,” he mentioned.
Dr Phil mocks Ilhan Omar’s home nation Somalia
Dr Phil did not stop there as she advised Omar to go back to her home country if she finds the US so bad.
He said, “If this is such a horrible country, wonder why she doesn’t return to Somalia. Well, maybe because Somalia isn’t the most corrupt country in the world, it’s the second most corrupt country in the world.”
Dr Phil even appeared to make Omar remember the drawbacks of Somalia.
He added, “In Somalia, child soldiers are recruited by warlords who employ tactics like abduction threats and forced indoctrination to recruit those children. Famine, tribal violence, the life expectancy there is 30 years short of the rest of the world, adult literacy is less than 40%, religious minorities–they’re persecuted, LGBTQ killed, but in America she rose from refugee to congresswoman.”
