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.

    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

    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!

    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.

        There are way too many racist white man with an Asian wife for it to be a coincidence.

    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.
