GOP challenger tweets 'I am an American' in response to Ilhan Omar describing herself six other ways

Republican congressional candidate Dalia al Aqidi replied to one of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s viral tweets describing herself in a variety of ways with a patriotic message.

“I am, Hijabi, Muslim, Black, Foreign born, Refugee, Somali,” the Minnesota Democrat tweeted earlier this week.

The tweet received more than 29,000 likes but also got some negative comments, including one from a user who pointed out that Omar “leaves out” the word “American” and suggests it didn’t “even occur” to her to include it.
