  • This is The Guardian.

  • Today, what does it feel like to be the target of the world's most powerful man?

  • Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is no stranger to political attacks.

  • She's a woman, she's a Democrat, she's black and she's an immigrant.

  • All of which have made her a perfect target for US President Donald Trump.

  • All she does is complain, complain, complain.

  • She comes out of a country where they have no government, they have no military,

  • they have no police, they got no nut, they don't have a country.

  • But even so, what happened last week felt different.

  • David Smith, the Guardian's Washington bureau chief,

  • was among those watching Trump's televised speech in Pennsylvania.

  • I love this Elan Omar, whatever the hell her name is.

  • He revived a conspiracy theory that she married her brother to become a US citizen.

  • We were to get her to hell out.

  • She married her brother in order to get in, right?

  • She married her brother.

  • He mocked her.

  • He jabbed her.

  • With a little shoe, a little turban.

  • I love her.
