Yes, in a resurfaced January 2025 video, Rep. Ilhan Omar verbally tripped and said "World War Eleven" when referring to World War II. However, the full, unedited video shows her immediately correcting herself to "Two" (saying "oh, two! sorry") while discussing the Alien Enemies Act. Viral clips of the gaffe often omitted her correction.Key details regarding the incident include:

The Context: She was speaking at a press conference about immigration history, specifically mentioning the use of the Alien Enemies Act during World War II.

The Error: She misread the Roman numeral "II" as the number 11, leading to the verbal blunder.

Correction: Contrary to many viral posts, she corrected her mistake in real-time, clarifying that she meant World War II.

Viral Nature: The clip was widely shared in April 2026 by critics, often without the context of her immediate correction, as seen on X (formerly Twitter) and reported by Fox News.Independent fact-checkers like Snopes and Newsweek confirmed that while she did say "World War Eleven," she corrected it immediately, and the incident was a verbal slip rather than a misunderstanding of historical facts.
