Trump demands Ilhan Omar 'immediately' resign over explosive fake name allegation... as he unleashes blistering attacks on Democrats at Georgia rally

President Donald Trump is demanding that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar resign from Congress as he revived allegations about her real name and her marriage to a man he claims is her brother.'She comes from a s***house country, and she's telling us how to run the United States,' Trump said, speaking on Omar's birth country of Somalia.Trump launched the attack during a Republican campaign rally in Perry, Georgia, as he rallied alongside Republican Senate challenger Mike Collins and gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson.'It was just revealed that Ilhan Omar's name is not Ilhan Omar,' Trump told the crowd.The president claimed Omar had used a different name to get elected and sworn into Congress, then linked the allegation to longstanding claims that she married her brother.The Department of Justice referenced Omar by the name 'Ilhan Nur Said Elmi' in court filings related to the federal raid of her Washington, DC residence, fueling fresh questions over allegations about the Minnesota Democrat's identity.But Omar has firmly rejected the claims, insisting her real name is Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.He also brought up Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar's former husband, and claimed his name matched that of her brother. 'Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Democrat Party has just conceded her seat,' Trump said joking about Congresswoman Ilhan Omar Trump referred to the name Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, which appeared in a recent DOJ investigation involving the Democratic congresswoman and her identityTrump then mocked Omar over an alleged response when she was asked whether she had married her brother. Homeland Security Investigations police search the home of Omar on October 12'When asked whether or not she was married to her brother, she said, 'Not to my knowledge,' he said.The president compared that response with how he said he would answer a similar question about marrying one of his sisters.'I said, no. It's pretty simple, right?' Trump told the audience.He then turned his fire on Somalia, where Omar was born, attacking the country and questioning why the congresswoman should be able to criticize the United States.'She comes from one of the worst countries, maybe the worst country in the world, and she's telling us how to run our country,' Trump said.The president accused Omar of using a false name when she was sworn into Congress and argued that she should immediately give up her seat.'Because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must immediately resign from Congress, huh?' he said.Trump then turned the attack into a mock announcement directed at House Speaker Mike Johnson, suggesting Democrats had already surrendered Omar's seat. 'The fake news, they say, 'Oh, he's so handsome.' I don't think so. These people are handsome. That guy's handsome right there. Our congressmen, they're all handsome to me,' President Trump said Ossoff is seeking another term against Republican Congressman Mike Collins, who has Trump's backing In Michigan on Saturday, former President Barack Obama mocked Trump's lavish White House renovations, saying the president was so focused on home improvements that he 'should be on HGTV' and comparing the White House's new look to 'Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory''Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Democrat Party has just conceded her seat,' Trump said.He went on to claim that Omar had 'openly admitted to fraud' and would no longer be legally allowed to serve in Congress.Trump came out swinging at Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, wasting little time before mocking the Georgia Democrat's looks and branding his public image a fake.'The fake news, they say, 'Oh, he's so handsome.' I don't think so. These people are handsome. That guy's handsome right there. Our congressmen, they're all handsome to me,' Trump said, gesturing toward Republicans at the event.He then doubled down on his attack, accusing Ossoff of cultivating a misleading public image before turning his fire on a Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan.'So Ossoff has a false image. It's a totally, it's the most of all false, although, the guy in Michigan is pretty bad, too. Muhammad, as I call him,' Trump said, referring to Abdul El-Sayed, who is running for the Democratic nomination in Michigan's Senate race.The president's swipe at Ossoff comes as Republicans make the Georgia Senate race a major battleground in their fight to hold control of the chamber.Ossoff is seeking another term against Republican Congressman Mike Collins, who has Trump's backing. The president has repeatedly targeted the incumbent as he campaigns to help Republicans capitalize on the midterm elections.Trump previously mocked Ossoff at a rally in Dalton, Georgia, on October 16, comparing him to comedian Pee-wee Herman and dismissing claims that the senator was handsome.The Georgia event came as former President Barack Obama was also on the campaign trail, campaigning for Democrats in Michigan and delivering a series of attacks on Trump and his administration.Obama appeared alongside El-Sayed and Michigan gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson in Detroit, setting up a weekend of dueling campaign appearances as both parties seek to energize their supporters ahead of Election Day on November 3.He mocked Trump's lavish White House renovations, saying the president was so focused on home improvements that he 'should be on HGTV' and comparing the White House's new look to 'Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory.' Trump mentioned Obama being in Michigan, and he saw the rallyand it had appeared empty. He took a swipe at Obama as he boasted about scrapping his predecessor's Iran nuclear deal, branding it one of the 'worst deals ever made.''I terminated one of the worst deals ever made, Barack Hussein Obama's JCPOA, or, as some people call it, the Iran nuclear deal,' Trump told supporters.Trump claimed he had pulled out of the 2015 agreement just in time to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, before touting US military strikes against the country's nuclear facilities.
