ראיתי את זה, לפי בדיקה של ניוזוויק, זה מנאום שהיא נשאה בינואר והיא תיקנה את עצמה מיד, אני חושב שאפשר להתייחס לזה כאל פליטת פה וטעות בקריאה ופחות כחוסר ידע היסטורי.

The Facts
The video clip is authentic and originates from a January 22, 2025, press conference in Washington, D.C., where Omar and several Democratic lawmakers were speaking about the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, proposed legislation that would repeal the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
In the full, unedited video, Omar misspeaks momentarily, saying “World War Eleven,” before immediately correcting herself. Moments after, she clarified: “Oh—two, sorry.”
The context of the remarks makes clear she was referring to World War II, during which the Alien Enemies Act was used as part of the U.S. government’s justification for the detention and deportation of German, Japanese, and Italian immigrants—most notably Japanese Americans—during the war.
Ilhan Omar speaking at a press conference in Washington, D.C. on January 22, 2025.
There is no indication Omar was confused about the historical event itself. The comment appears to be a verbal slip, not a substantive error, and was corrected in real time during the same sentence.
