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.

      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.

      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.

        If Vance becomes president, Peter Theil becomes president. He holds Vance’s leash.

        Theil absolutely has a plan to steal the presidency. Unfortunately for him, so do many other people, including Musk, Rubio, Don Jr, Bondi, Hegseth, etc. They ALL think they are the worthy MAGA successors, but they’re wrong.

        MAGA is a classic Cult of Personality. Once Trump assumes room temperature, the back-stabbing will destroy MAGA.

      Are you saying he is stupid, because his claim is not true?

      But if he thinks he has corrupted the system enough that it works, he is evil not stupid.

    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

      so he’s also actually guilty

      I know it’s such an insignificant word change, but it stabs at something I have to keep reminding myself: a single word can be the difference between correcting someone’s understanding of reality vs accidentally reinforcing a “both sides” argument.

      And a claim like this isn’t something within jurisdiction of the VP I don’t believe. So it isn’t an official act for him to be making this claim. Therefore suing him directly for libel I would think should be fine.

    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.

          1. I’ve literally never heard of that take on short women. Not saying you’re wrong, but that’s new to me.

          2. Her family is from India. They have a caste system and you bet your ass she’s from the top of that. She’s from a long line up “upper class” people who look down on the poor and disenfranchised. She just happens to be a little brown.

            The higher caste Indians hate darker skinned Indians and thus many in the upper caste are insecure of their own brownness.

              That’s all insane. Firstly imagine calling the average man of every country but the Netherlands a dwarf. But also as a woman who’s nearly 6’ short women hurt my back. I still date them because I don’t really consider height a major concern in partners. Also I’ve hidden behind multiple short exes. One is 5’2" and built like a bear with an attitude of pure willingness to do violence for loved ones.

              Sigh, but yeah I’ve noticed a lot of short women are insecure about their heights as well. And it’s weird because many of us tall women are also insecure about ours. I have to try not to loom over other women (and sometimes over men). When I wear heels (which is usually formal events) I stick out like a sore thumb even more. Back on reddit the tallgirls community was really helpful to find other women experiencing the same awkwardness.

                It gets confusing because usually people just call them asian too 💀 i say “east asian” though because everyone knows you mean chinese, korean et cetera in that case, and you might specify south asian for indians, pakistanis etc.

                In the UK we have more south asians than east asians, but I’m pretty sure it’s the inverse in america. So if somekne in the uk says describes someine as “asian,” it’s a safer bet that they mean “indian subcontinent” or middle east rather than East-Asian.

          They are all selfish and ignorant. These people are a minority of the American people, yet the largest majority doesn’t vote… So the little mean, stupid clique of idiots win, and we get this bullshit.

    JD Vance definitely fucked a couch. So take that with a grain of salt. They are obviously pushing out to the front because Trump is sun downing hard into deep dementia while burning the country to the ground. No one likes the funny looking little fucker either. Don’t forget your mascara you esmaculate douche pretending to be a strong man.
