A clip featuring Ilhan Omar pronouncing World War II as “World War 11” quickly went viral, racking up millions of views across social media platforms. In the 13-second video, Omar can be heard referencing the Alien Enemies Act and stating it was last used during “World War 11,” a remark widely interpreted as a mistake.

“The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, and Italian immigrants during World War 11,” Omar said.

Online reaction was swift and intense. Avi Glaserman questioned, “How the hell was she elected into office if she thinks (II) in Roman numerals equals 11?”

Others piled on. A commenter identified as Melissa Rubin from Pennsylvania wrote, “How can she think there have been 11 world wars? She obviously misread Roman numeral II from a speech a staffer wrote for her: Perhaps because she graduated from Quality Learning Center.”

Another user, Michael Sternstein, posted: “I am embarrassed she is my congresswoman but then again what can I expect? She graduated from Quality Learing Center and her family tree is a circle since she married her own brother.”

The moment also revived past criticism from Donald Trump, who previously referred to Omar as a “low IQ individual” countless times.

JBN has verified the authenticity of the clip, with C-SPAN footage confirming Omar’s remarks.
