Omar’s resurfaced video gained traction shortly after President Trump spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, where he said she prioritized Somalia over the U.S.
"I love this Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is, with the little turban," Trump said.
"She comes in, does nothing but b----. She comes from her country, where, I mean, it’s considered about the worst country in the world, right?
"We ought to get her the hell out."
And the crowd chanted, "Send her back!"

Trump also criticized Omar and the Somali population more broadly, referencing the fact that dozens of Somali immigrants in Minnesota have been arrested or charged with fraud schemes.
He also targeted Gov. Tim Walz since the alleged fraud schemes, which cost the state around $1 billion, happened under his watch.
