Golfer Phil Mickelson has demanded congresswoman Ilhan Omar's deportation to her native Somalia and accused the Minnesota Democrat of illegally gaining citizenship to the United States.
Mickelson fired off the furious X post on Saturday in response to controversy over Omar's recent claim that murdered right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk 'spread hate' and should be left 'in the dust bin of history.'
'Ilhan spews hate every time she opens her mouth, she came here fraudulently and will hopefully be sent back to Somalia soon,' Mickelson wrote Saturday ahead of Kirk's Sunday memorial service in Glendale, Arizona.
The 55-year-old LIV Golf star's comments echo previous statements from President Donald Trump about Omar, who arrived in the U.S. as a 12-year-old in 1995 and became a naturalized citizen five years later.
'Ilhan Omar's Country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central Government control, persistent Poverty, Hunger, Resurgent Terrorism, Piracy, decades of Civil War, Corruption, and pervasive Violence,' Trump wrote online. '70% of the population lives in extreme Poverty, and widespread Food Insecurity.
'Somalia is consistently ranked among the World's Most Corrupt Countries, including Bribery, Embezzlement, and a Dysfunctional Government. All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America!'

Trump concluded by repeating allegations that Omar married her brother to skirt immigration laws.
'P.S. Wasn't she the one that married her brother in order to gain Citizenship???' Trump continued. 'What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!'
Omar did marry a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 and has since faced claims the two were actually siblings. However, multiple investigations into the allegations have failed to prove anything and she has continued to deny the accusation.
She was previously married to another man, Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, with whom she reportedly reconciled and now shares three children. As was the case with her marriage to Elmi, that union also ended in divorce and she is now married to political consultant Tim Mynett.
Mickelson has been very active on social media in the days since Kirk's shooting death in Utah. Responding to a post from actor James Woods from Kirk's memorial service in Arizona, Mickelson described the scene as: 'Incredible and inspiring.'

He also commented on oil and black tar seepage along the ocean floor. Curiously, Mickelson suggested Sable Offshore Corp. be allowed to 'extract the oil, reduce the pressure and seepage, save marine wildlife, and help the beaches become cleaner and more beautiful.'
Mickelson has publicly advocated for the company in recent months and previously dropped Sable's stock ticker symbol, $SOC, to say Sable 'is a win for EVERYONE including environmentalists!'
One follower disagreed with Mickelson's suggestion about Sable, writing the golfer's 'brain is suffering from seepage.'
Mickelson responded: 'Yes and it keeps spewing facts. Many are too soft to deal with facts and the truth.'
