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.

    Why don’t you start with that South African illegal immigrant who overstayed his visa illegally? Remember what his name was? Elon Musk? Ring a bell?

      And why stop at deporting him?

      Use eminent domain to take all his property and businesses, first. Send his ass home with nothing but turned out pockets and that shit-eating Nazi grin of his.

        Elon and his brother both used to be very open about working illegally in the US in violation of their visas. There’s also his use of illegal drugs which he has never made a secret of. The evidence is a lot more solid than this bizarre nonsense about Omar.

          Have you been living under a rock? She committed fraud, she stole our tax paying money 💴 and set up ghost daycares to funnel that money to give to terrorist groups like Al Shabaab. She allowed these daycares to receive money 💴 from us, the taxpayers. There’s plenty of proof from Nick Shirley on YouTube going to these daycares trying to enroll a child 👶.

              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?

      And a claim like this isn’t something within jurisdiction of the VP I don’t believe. So it isn’t an official act for him to be making this claim. Therefore suing him directly for libel I would think should be fine.

    Maybe i’m just cranky because I am old (almost 50) but if I were elected the next President, on Day One, we’d confiscate the wealth of Trump and every one of his buddies and then deport them, penniless, from the United States.

    I kinda want to see what a broke-ass JD Couchfucker would do for a living if he were dropped off in Angola with $10 and a maga hat.

    Remember, Elon Musk was in America on a student visa but working for his brother’s company instead of attending school. That’s visa fraud, which you’re required to disclose on any subsequent visa or citizenship applications. He didn’t, so he’s also guilty of immigration fraud.

    Anyone who runs on seizing his assets and locking that illegal immigrant in a detention facility gets my vote

    JD Vance definitely fucked a couch. So take that with a grain of salt. They are obviously pushing out to the front because Trump is sun downing hard into deep dementia while burning the country to the ground. No one likes the funny looking little fucker either. Don’t forget your mascara you esmaculate douche pretending to be a strong man.

    Things JD Vance Hates:

    • Brown people
    • Women
    • Muslims
    • Anti-fascists

    Ilhan Omar is everything he hates and she is one of the few people in power in the government who actually stands up against tyranny. No surprises here.

        She’s probably a self hating Asian who would rather have a racist partner as long as he’s white than be with an Asian man. It’s like short women who only want a tall partner because they feel insecure and need to compensate. But here it’s a woman who feels that her non-whiteness is inferior and thus she needs to compensate by marrying a white man. And with that inferiority complex she attracts racist men.

          1. I’ve literally never heard of that take on short women. Not saying you’re wrong, but that’s new to me.

          2. Her family is from India. They have a caste system and you bet your ass she’s from the top of that. She’s from a long line up “upper class” people who look down on the poor and disenfranchised. She just happens to be a little brown.

                It gets confusing because usually people just call them asian too 💀 i say “east asian” though because everyone knows you mean chinese, korean et cetera in that case, and you might specify south asian for indians, pakistanis etc.

                In the UK we have more south asians than east asians, but I’m pretty sure it’s the inverse in america. So if somekne in the uk says describes someine as “asian,” it’s a safer bet that they mean “indian subcontinent” or middle east rather than East-Asian.

          Yeah Republicans loved that. They loved it.

          They are all selfish and ignorant. These people are a minority of the American people, yet the largest majority doesn’t vote… So they win, and we get this bullshit.

          That majority on the US needs to wake the fuck up. If they don’t, we’re all fucked. Apathy is destroying this nation.
