Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was mocked on social media Monday over a resurfaced video where she referred to World War II as “World War Eleven.”
In the Jan. 22, 2025, clip, Omar, flanked by other congressional Democrats, calls for the repeal of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which President Trump invoked to quickly deport suspected Venezuelan gang members in the country illegally.
“The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants during World War Eleven,” the far-left “Squad” congresswoman declared, reading from prepared remarks.
Omar quickly corrected herself after the verbal blunder.
“Oh … two … sorry,” she said, chuckling.
President Trump has previously criticized the Minnesota Democrat’s intelligence, referring to her as “Low IQ Ilhan Omar,” in a Truth Social post earlier this year, and several social media users hurled similar insults at Omar after watching the brutal gaffe.
“I can’t believe this dummy is in Congress,” read an X post from Libs of TikTok, which included a clip of the Omar’s misstep.
“She learned history at the Quality Learing Center,” MAGA influencer Sarah Sizzle wrote on X, referring to the infamous sign at a now- shuttered Minnesota day care center that was at the center of a fraud scandal last year.
“Was this for real? I thought it might be AI,” conservative columnist Ed Morrissey posted in disbelief.
Another X user responded with an AI-generated New York Times frontpage blaming Trump for starting “World War Eleven.”
One person argued Omar had “a case of the Biden’s” that day.
“This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the stupidist generation of politicians the world has witnessed,” another X user lamented.
Omar’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
