Ron DeSantis praised as Hannity reports on Florida gov slamming Ilhan Omar over Somali-language speech
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On Tuesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis called for the expulsion of Squad member Representative Ilhan Omar as well as the revocation of her citizenship and deportation from the United States.
This call came in response to a speech given by Omar on January 27, where critics alleged that she prioritized the interests of Somalis over Americans.
In the viral clip, Omar, who was born in Somalia, appeared to assure her constituents that she would use her influence to prevent the breakaway Republic of Somaliland from entering into a sea-access deal with Ethiopia.
Following this news, Fox News host Sean Hannity took to X, formerly known as Twitter to share DeSantis bashing Omar and many people on the internet agreed with the governor’s remarks.

The recent controversy surrounding Minnesota lawmaker Omar began when she delivered a Somali-language speech to community leaders at a Minneapolis hotel on Saturday night.
In her address, Omar strongly criticized the Ethiopian government's plans to enter into a sea access deal with the breakaway Republic of Somaliland.
A translated video of Omar's remarks, shared by DeSantis, quoted her as saying, "The US government will only do what Somalians in the US tell them to do. They must do what they want and nothing else. They must follow our orders, and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia."
Omar further asserted, “The US is a country where one of your daughters is in Congress to represent your interest,” referring to herself.
“For as long as I am in the US Congress, Somalia will never be in danger, its waters will not be stolen by Ethiopia or others … Sleep in comfort, knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the US system.”
