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.

      In what world would a group of random douchebags with cameras have access to the kids at a daycare?! Grow up.

            Some do. There are even overnight daycares that cater to people working the third shift at manufacturing jobs for example. Where there is a demand for services there is usually someone to take your money.

          Oh fuck. You’re right. That’s all the proof I need to believe Ilhan Omar is funneling money to terrorists. You know what they say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence a YouTuber begging the question.

      He uncovered that they don’t let random people with cameras into the daycare without appointments. The scandal.

      If my kid was at one of those daycares and they let some random dude with a camera in, I’d be fucking livid. In fact, any daycare that did let him in should be sued for child endangerment by the parents.

      You send the application via email or snail mail. It’s not that bloody difficult.

      He’s a frellwit who doesn’t even understand the concept of a mixed use building. Anything he claims should be looked at with skepticism.
