Followers were quick to respond, one post read: “I’m from Minnesota. Nobody likes her in the Somali community. They feel they got screwed.”

Another added: “She laughed the whole way through. She doesn’t give a s**t.”

“They find it amusing that they’re getting away with it. So really, she’s laughing at those in the audience.”

The incident took place at the Target Centre in Minneapolis on Saturday, July 2, during a concert with Somali singer Suldaan Seeraar.

The concert came during Somali Week, an annual event that this year marks the 62nd anniversary of independence in Somalia.

It was not immediately clear exactly what prompted the crowd’s reaction, but some suggested that it was Omar’s support for abortion and LGBTQ rights.
