  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

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.

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

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

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

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.

All I heard was "Brown people scare me" these fucking assholes

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

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

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

FINALLY they're going AFTER the Illegal Immigrants STEALING American Jobs Businesses and Governments! BYE BYE ~~South African Elon Musk!~~ VOTED in Ilhan Omar?

[–] The_Almighty_Walrus@lemmy.world 59 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Either he's stupid, or he thinks you're stupid.

And people keep proving him right

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I read the book, it's the later.

Mouth-breathers kept telling me, you don't understand us, he gets us, that book explains it all.

There's no fucking way, so i read it. It doesn't. It spins a mostly untrue (to him) tale that is honestly normal in the non rich people raised in Appalachia. I had family in the hills.

The mine/mill/factory was either sold to China and shut down, or just shut down for non profitability, leaving everyone working in the service industry with no money flowing into the areas. People get poor, drugs happen, service industry crumbles.

He told them that book would explain their story, so they just went OK, that's why we're racist, sexist, hate the poor.

They just eat up everything he says.

I'm as worried (if not more worried) about him replaceing T as I am T getting a third term.

Both things are correct. It's a standard character trait that all MAGAs think we are as stupid as they are. They are too stupid to be aware of that fact. They're like untrained pets, who have grown so large, they now rule the house, and have become dangerous.

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?

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

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.

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.

Things JD Vance Hates:

  • Brown people

Which is extra weird considering this is his wife:

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

He hates women and brown people. What better way to do harm than to marry her?

While we’re at it, I’ve never seen trumps long form birth certificate. Is he even American?

[–] chahn.chris@piefed.social 61 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Never seen any tax returns either, is he even a contributing member of society?

Omar is a true American, loyal to her people. The same cannot be said of JD Vance.

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

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 3 days ago

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?"
