RNC Research said Rep. Ilhan Omar reposted an X message that ended, “Hey MAGA… Allahu Akbar,” following midterm election results.
What RNC Research and the source article show
According to the source article, X user Alex Cole posted a post‑election message celebrating outcomes that included wins by Democrats such as Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, concluding, “Hey MAGA… Allahu Akbar,” with emojis. The article says Omar reposted that message.
RNC Research drew attention to it on Nov. 10, 2026, writing, “An actual repost from a sitting Congresswoman,” and linking to the item.
The source article states the Arabic phrase means “God is the Greatest.”
Additional claims in the source
The Western Journal piece revisits prior controversies around Omar, including her 2019 “some people did something” remark and a 2016 request for leniency for men convicted of conspiracy to join ISIS; these are presented as the article’s characterizations. It also says the Council on American‑Islamic Relations reported nearly 100 Muslim candidates won midterm races and describes CAIR as having been named an unindicted co‑conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case. These points are included here only as claims from the source article.
