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.

I will donate my entire paycheck in exchange for a chance to punch Stephen Miller in the face.

I would donate 5 years of my life to get 15 minutes with him in a dark alley with no cameras or witnesses.

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 has committed fraud against the concept of human intelligence, and should be in jail for trying to abuse the power of government for personal gain

he’d recently spoken with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about how best to “go after her.”

Who was told that we can't put her in a gas chamber, and PeeWee Himmler said "Oh, the gas chambers aren't operational yet? What's taking so long?"

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

So now Ilhan's lawyers can cite this as evidence for malicious prosecution.

I'd have more respect for Vance if he truly believed the shit he peddled and wasn't simply a cynical liar.
