Since you put it in scare quotes, here's what RNC Research is. (MS NOW is an openly biased opinion source, but it shouldn't take a lot of convincing that this is an obvious MAGA propaganda account.)
Anyway, the MAGA propaganda account that is RNC Research is answering to the full Omar quote, which is transparently directed at Trump. I'm not going to abide the doublethink of "Mainstream media needs to stop letting Trump and the far-right skirt responsibility for their statements by dressing them up in plausible deniability; they need to state what he's obviously, actually saying" (they do, and I see that sentiment here all the time) and "Wow, this account is calling Trump a pedophile by cutting through the plausible deniability speak and acknowledging who literally everyone knows Omar meant when she said this."
Even if I were somehow delusional enough at this point to think Trump is not a child rapist, it's still trivially obvious who Omar means, and pretending otherwise is grossly disingenuous. You don't inherently have to believe an insult to recognize who's being insulted.
