Dr. Phil blasted far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Monday for comments she made recently about the United States becoming one of the "worst countries" in the world.
"Here's the thing: she has the right to say what she's saying culturally, psychologically, I think it's disgusting, but does she have the right to say it? Yeah, she does, just like I have the right to say, 'It's absolutely disgusting and whoever voted for her now knows who they voted for and should kick her a-- to the curb,'" Dr. Phil said.
In an interview with Democracy Now! in June, Omar said, "I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship and I don't even remember ever witnessing anything like that to have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries, where the military are in our streets without any regard for people's constitutional rights."
