The Somaliland Foreign Ministry expressed profound surprise and disappointment at Omar's remarks. They criticized her use of language, which they deemed lacking in common decency and indicative of a significant lack of understanding of basic facts.

Omar's speech has also drawn criticism from Americans. Some individuals, such as Chaya Raichik, have accused Omar of hating America. Attorney Marina Medvin pointed out that Omar identified herself as Somali first, Muslim second, without mentioning her American identity. Medvin also highlighted Omar's claim that her primary job in Congress is to protect Somali interests. Journalist Alessandra Bocchi expressed concern over Omar's rhetoric, stating that it closely resembled the "blood and soil" rhetoric associated with white supremacists. Bocchi also accused Omar of engaging in unethical conduct in her role as a U.S. congresswoman, which she deemed tantamount to treason.

The controversy surrounding Omar's speech has led to calls for her expulsion from Congress. Some individuals have questioned why Republicans have not taken action to remove her from office, citing her alleged treasonous conduct.
