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.

      Because he’s one of their biggest donors, obviously

    J. D. Vance and Trump are the kind of people that simply don’t deserve to be part of a society, because all they do is evil and selfish.
    They should be expelled to live in some remote uninhabited region, and never be allowed back to civilization.
    But since we don’t have that practice, they are also the kind of people that actually deserve the death penalty, because they have caused mass death of innocent people, contrary to many that have actually received a death penalty.
    These people are so despicable that they are no better than serial killers, yet at election day half the voters supported getting such an administration. And still more than a third support them, and the only reason it has declined is because of oil prices going up. All the sociopathic shit they do is OK!

        Important bit from Snopes:

        "In 2002, Omar and Hirsi reportedly applied for a marriage license. The couple married in an Islamic ceremony but never completed the process for a civil marriage, according to Hirsi. By 2008, Hirsi and Omar had separated (per Islamic custom). After that relationship ended, Omar had a civil marriage with Elmi in 2009. When that relationship ended, Elmi moved to England and they divorced per Islamic practice in 2011, but without receiving a legal divorce.

        Omar later reconciled with Hirsi and remarried in an Islamic ceremony. In 2017, Omar formally petitioned for divorce from Elmi, and legally wed Hirsi in 2018. Hirsi and Omar legally divorced in 2019.

        Snopes found no credible evidence that Elmi and Omar were siblings in a fraudulent marriage."

      Ilhan has been targeted by the entire Washington establishment since she took office.

      The US government cannot stomach a Somali community engaging in any form of self governance anywhere on earth

    Of course. This is a fascist country. That’s what fascists do.

    We are one “terrorist” attack away from seeing who Republicans really are. The gallows will be a feature in your town.

    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.

    JD Vance has a law degree from Yale. He knows better. I remember when politicians didn’t direct the DOJ to go after their opponents with bogus claims of wrongdoing.

        I don’t think Yale can do that. But if Vance were to present false claims to a court, the state bar could disbar him. Which would be fitting.

      The DOJ doesn’t answer to Vance unless Trump is gone though… Unless Trump is going to claim the VP has authorities not defined by his role, which I really doubt the Republican party wants to give more power to those positions right now seeing how sketchy everything looks for their future.

    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.
