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.

        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.

                So……if you cared about fraud, why TF aren’t you angry at the politicians of Minnesota and California?

                  You haven’t even established that there is fraud to worry about, buttercup. All you’ve done is try to wield the term as a racist cudgel and throw tantrums when people call you out on it.
