Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) used a trip with the Congressional Black Caucus and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Africa this week to mock President Donald Trump and his supporters, who chanted “send her back” in response to Omar’s anti-America remarks. Omar posted a tweet about how, instead of her being sent back Pelosi took her to the continent.
Only one problem with this trip: they didn't visit Somalia, the country in Africa that Omar came from, that Trump was telling her to return to, fix and show us how it's done.
The group did not visit Somalia, the rogue nation-state Omar’s family fled when she was a child. The trip was also made to mark the 400th anniversary of the first shipment of slaves to the United States. The photo of a smiling Omar and Pelosi shows the “Door of No Return” located at the slave shipping port.

This trip proves nothing. If Omar was trying to show Trump is wrong about Africa, that Somalia is not a wreck, this trip certainly doesn't show that.
