A resurfaced tweet from Rep. Ilhan Omar saw the Minnesota Democrat claim U.S.
forces killed “thousands” of Somalis during the 1993 “Black Hawk Down”
mission -- despite multiple analysts concluding the number was much
smaller.
In the October 2017 tweet discovered by journalist John Rossomando,
Omar was responding to a Twitter user who'd highlighted that more than a
dozen U.S. soldiers were killed and another 73 were wounded in the
Battle of Mogadishu, saying it was the “worst terrorist attack in
Somalia history.”
Omar,
a Somali refugee who was then a Minnesota state representative, refuted
the tweet, insisting that “thousands” of Somalis were killed by
American forces.She should make history as the first congress critter deported
