Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has declined to respond to President Donald Trump’s assertion that she supports the al-Qaeda terror group amid a feud between the president and progressives in the Democratic party.

Omar was asked to respond to Trump’s allegation that she is a “communist” and “pro-al-Qaeda” during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on July 15.
