After refusing to answer several questions from a reporter, controversial Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar was suddenly triggered when asked to compare President Donald Trump with Obama, at which point she exploded and said that Trump is not "human."
The Minnesota congresswoman was questioned by Fox News’s Guerin Hays about her recent comments on former President Obama, in which she suggested that he is a murderer for authorizing the use of drones to kill terrorists during his presidency.
Omar, who has been engulfed in an anti-Semitism scandal, ignored Hays's questions about an interview she gave to Politico last week where she attacked Barack Obama.

"Can you set the record straight when it comes to the Politico interview," Hays asked politely.
Omar refused to answer.
"Do you think that Trump and Obama are the same, just different when it comes to their policies?" Hays politely asked again.
Omar refused to answer.
"We understand that you refute this Politico story, could you just set the record straight so we can get your side of it?" Hays continued to politely ask.
Omar refused to answer.
"Do you think President Obama is the same as President Trump?" Hays asked.

"Absolutely not," Omar snapped.
"That is silly to even think and equate the two."
"One is human, the other is not," Omar continued.

According to the Daily Wire, Omar has espoused demonizing and hateful rhetoric for years against those she views as opponents.
In 2012, Omar promoted an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory used by Nazi Germany, tweeting: "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."
Omar defended her tweet multiple times on CNN, saying that she did not know how Jewish Americans would find her statements to be offensive.
"I wonder what your message is this morning ... to Jewish Americans who find that deeply offensive?" CNN's Poppy Harlow asked Omar in January.
Omar did not respond kindly to the question, saying, "Oh, that's a really regrettable way of expressing that."
"Um, I, I, don’t know how my comments would be offensive to Jewish Americans," Omar continued.

During an interview in late January, Omar compared Israel to Iran, which is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Omar falsely stated that Israel was not a democracy and suggested that they should not be allowed to exist as a Jewish state.
In February, the Democratic leadership was forced to condemn Omar over anti-Semitic remarks she made when she suggested that pro-Israel groups were bribing American politicians to be loyal to Israel.
The Daily Wire reported: "Omar pushed an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that her 'Jewish colleagues' had 'designed' a plan to accuse her of being anti-Semitic 'to end the debate' on Israel."
Omar then made anti-Semitic remarks last weekend when she accused Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY), who is Jewish, of expecting her to have dual loyalties to Israel.
Omar's remarks ignited another round of debate in Washington, D.C., over the growing anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party and ended up with the Democrats protecting Omar by not specifically condemning anti-Semitism in a resolution they created and passed late last week.
