Martha Kelner, 35, has revealed she has been inundated with messages from ordinary Americans apologising to her for the MAGA-firebrand's outburst following a hearing in Congress.

Omar, 42, had been fielding questions from Pamela Brown when she made her comments - with her saying that Texas Congressman Brandon Gill's entire fanbase are 'xenophobic and racist.'
