The president of El Salvador, Nayyib Bukele, just destroyed the far-left Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. 

Posting on the X platform, Omar announced that she had sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken to express concerns about supposed attacks on democracy in El Salvador. 

"The State Dept must review its relationship with El Salvador and defend democratic values," Omar wrote. "The Salvadoran people deserve free and fair elections without fear of repression."

Bukele responded to Omar by saying he was "honored" to be attacked by such a disreputable figure. 

"We are HONORED to receive your attacks, just days before OUR election," he wrote. I would be very worried if we had your support. Thank you"

We are HONORED to receive your attacks, just days before OUR election.

I would be very worried if we had your support.

Not only was Omar humiliated by Bukele, but X's Community Notes feature also stepped in to set the record straight. 

"El Salvador’s democratically elected president Nayib Bukele won the 2019 election with a 54% majority," the community note read. "Under his leadership El Salvdor’s murder rate has fallen 93% and he currently has a 91% approval rating amongst El Salvadorian citizens."

Despite Bukele's popularity and incredibly successful efforts in turning one of Latin America's most dangerous countries into one of its safest, Omar and her Democratic colleagues had the nerve to go after Bukele's effective, albeit uncompromising, style of leadership.

Their letter stated: 

President Bukele has also, during his first term, overseen the militarized harassment of the legislature, a significant erosion of judicial independence, and the de facto criminalization of civil society.

It is not the place of the United States government to determine who is eligible to run for President in a foreign country, nor to pick winners. We are nevertheless alarmed that some of the State Department’s public messaging on the elections has been overly credulous toward President Bukele’s re-election bid, and his governance.

Omar, of course, knows all about sticking her nose in other countries' affairs. 

Earlier this week, the Minnesota Congresswoman pledged her allegiance to her home country of Somalia, which she fled as a refugee when she was just a teenager, and even managed to stoke racial tensions in her native homeland: 

There are areas of friction and that led us to kill each other, but in reality, we are an organized society, brothers and sisters, people of the same blood, people who know they are Somalians first, Muslims second, who protect one another, come to each other's aid and to the aid of other Muslims too...

Somalia is for Somalis only as over 45 percent of Somalia's population are not even ethnic Somalis. Somalia is one nation. We are all brothers and sisters. Our land can not be divided. Ethiopia and Kenya have stolen and continue to occupy the Somali region state, which belongs to Somalia. We will liberate the occupied territories stolen from Somalia.

Her remarks were firmly denounced by a representative of the autonomous region of Somaliland, who described herself as "profoundly surprised and shocked" by Omar's remarks, accusing her of using "ethno-racist rhetoric" and showing a "significant lack of understanding of basic facts."
