"If the administration wants to investigate anyone, maybe they should look at themselves first," Rep. Pramila Jayapal said, pointing a finger at Trump border czar Tom Homan after a federal raid targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar.

After putting out a nearly three-minute video decrying Trump’s repeated attacks on her Democratic colleague from Minnesota, Jayapal reminded social media users of the president’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, allegedly accepting a bribe in the form of a paper bag stuffed with $50,000 in cash.

…

“If the administration wants to investigate anyone, maybe they should look at themselves first. Anyone remember this?” Jayapal wrote alongside a photo of media coverage that notes Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) closed the probe into Homan last year.

    No, they should put Omar in prison where she belongs.

    After you take the majority, Jaypal, then you can put Homan in prison if you can make a case. Because we all know that you aren’t concerned about Omar becoming fabulously wealthy in a few years off of taxpayer dollars, you’re cool with that.

    We can’t count on you to “look at yourself”, obviously… as you very well know. .

      She became “fabulously wealthy” by marrying a rich dude. Are women not even allowed to marry well anymore? If marrying up isn’t allowed, every dude in Trump’s orbit will be single.
