On Wednesday, the president shared a Truth Social post in which he claimed Omar and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib "screamed uncontrollably" with "bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people" during his "very elegant" speech the night before.

He added that the two congresswomen should be sent "back from where they came – as fast as possible."

Omar is originally from Somalia, while Tlaib was born in Detroit to Palestinian immigrants.

Trump went on to bring up actor Robert DeNiro, whom he claimed he saw "break down in tears... like a child would do" over his speech, as well as comedian Rosie O'Donnell – both of whom have been critical of Trump for years.

The post comes after a number of Democrats protested his speech on Tuesday night.

Omar repeatedly yelled out that Trump was responsible for having "killed Americans," referring to two US citizens who were fatally shot last month by immigration agents sent by the president to occupy her state.

Tlaib followed suit, also calling Trump "the most corrupted president" after he suggested lawmakers should be banned from insider trading.
