BRENNAN: “The president said Palestinians would be permanently removed. How do you think this is heard and understood around the world?”
Omar: “That — that’s just plain out ethnic cleansing and genocide. That’s — that’s what he’s talking about. The Palestinian people will remain in Gaza. There is no support around the world for the ludicrous suggestion that he is making.”

BRENNAN: “Congresswoman, we have to leave it there for today, but I appreciate you coming in.”
