Hafiz Rashid reports:

Republican Representative Tom Emmer, who was just reelected to lead House Republicans as the party’s whip, a member of the GOP leadership in the House, appears to be doubling down on bigotry and racism following his party’s massive midterm defeat. 

On Thursday, Emmer, who represents Minnesota’s 6th congressional district, called on the House sergeant-at-arms to remove his fellow Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar, who is of Somali origin, saying that she should be removed from Congress after ranting about all the Somalis in his state. Emmer was speaking to conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, who asked him if Omar was an American citizen.
