JD Vance accused Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of having “definitely committed immigration fraud” and said that he’d recently spoken with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about how best to “go after her.”

Speaking on a podcast hosted by MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on Friday, Vance was asked about claims that Omar had defrauded the United States by marrying her brother to secure his legal residency.

The unsubstantiated claim has circulated in MAGA circles for years but has been denied by Omar multiple times. The congresswoman was born in Somalia but moved to Minneapolis with her family in 1997, fleeing the civil war.

      There is something to what he is saying. Nick Shirley is a YouTuber that went to some daycares where the doors were locked or they didn’t let him in and concluded they weren’t real daycares. He’s either a fuckin moron or straight up propagandist.

      So, here’s the “something.” That clown YouTuber was amplified by right wing politicians. JD Vance said it deserved a Pulitzer. 1 week later, DHS sent 2000 more ICE goons to Minnesota as part of their surge. There is a legitimate case to be made that the was because of Shirley’s video.

      It’s. All. So. Stupid.

        No Nick isn’t, he went up to the daycares and asked about enrollment, they shut their doors. And if the kids are missing, where are the kids? Shouldn’t the police be called if kids are missing?
