Omar tweeted Monday that it was an "outrage" that Miller has influence on the Trump administration's policies, and called the senior adviser a "white nationalist."

Miller, who supports hard-line immigration policies, has re-emerged as a prominent figure in the White House in the wake of the leadership shake-up at the Department of Homeland Security, for which he reportedly advocated.

A number of conservatives slammed Omar over her comments, noting that Miller is Jewish.

The freshman Democrat has come under scrutiny in recent months for comments about Israel that prompted allegations of anti-Semitism. She apologized after she implied lawmakers support Israel because of money, but later faced bipartisan backlash when she suggested that U.S. supporters of Israel have an "allegiance to a foreign country."

Trump has targeted her repeatedly, suggesting she resign and saying as recently as Saturday that she "doesn't like Israel."

The president's weekend comments came one day after the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York released a statement saying that a man, Patrick W. Carlineo Jr., had been arrested and charged with threatening to assault and murder Omar.

Trump has drawn criticism from some groups that allege he has stoked anti-Semitism with some of his rhetoric. Trump said there was blame on "both sides" after counterprotesters clashed with the attendees of an August 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va.
