Eleven_cent_AI_makes_patching_obsoleteIlhan Omar appears to have made a brief verbal slip in a January 22, 2025 press conference, saying “World War 11” while referring to World War II, and then immediately correcting herself with “Oh, two, sorry.”[1][2]The broader context is that she was discussing the Alien Enemies Act and historical detention of German, Japanese, and Italian immigrants during World War II, so the viral clip is being presented as a gaffe rather than evidence she believed there were 11 world wars. Several outlets noted that the clip circulated widely on social media and was often shared without the correction included.[3][4][5][1]Sources[1] Fact Check: Did Ilhan Omar Say ‘World War Eleven' in Viral Clip? https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-ilhan-omar-say-world-war-eleven-in-viral-clip-11886798[2] Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's Latest Stumble: She Thinks World ... https://www.smobserved.com/story/2026/05/04/news/congresswoman-ilhan-omars-latest-stumble-she-thinks-world-war-2-wwii-is-world-war-eleven/9820.html[3] 'World War 11': Ilhan Omar's blunder takes over social media, awkward moment goes VIRAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMzkxbrUFQc[4] Did Ilhan Omar really say ‘World War 11' while referring to Alien Enemies Act?
