Ilhan Omar on her Historic Election
Ilhan Omar made history to become the first Somali-American legislator in the US, and – along with Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib – the first Muslim woman in Congress. She spoke with Christiane Amanpour about Steve King’s “white supremacist” remarks, the government shutdown, her own historic position, and her efforts to enact a so-called “Green New Deal”.
