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.

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.

You must be with them, if you’re pissed 😡 about people committing fraud, you’re the problem.

We all know you don't, sparky.

[-] Metalhead7187@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Exatron@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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.

So why do illegals drive a nicer car than me? Explain that to me Einstein, and also hello to you too, after all that’s all that word means nowadays. You call someone racist, you’re just saying hello to them.

[-] Exatron@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Doubling down on racism isn't the win you think it is, sweaty.

[-] Metalhead7187@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Guess what sweety? You just called me a “racist” that word now means “hello” cause it’s overused and overrated.

[-] Exatron@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, sweaty, you just don't like that you're being called out for being a racist.

Claiming someone is "illegal" because they have a nicer car than you is racist.

[-] Metalhead7187@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

So then, PAY UP sweety, GIMME your tax paying dollars to fund a house with TONS of land and cars 🚘 on it, do it now! It’s racist if you don’t do it sweety, cause you’re discriminating against me as a straight white male.

Self awareness isn't your thing, is it, kiddo?

You're doing a good job being a parody of a human being.

[-] Metalhead7187@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

So then STOP calling me racist for being against fraud, kiddo

[-] Exatron@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You're being called racist because your claims of fraud are solely based on racism, champ.

You'd understand that if you understood that racism isn't just a bad word to call people.

This is weird why is some rando troll on my inbox? You that is. You seem like a real piece of work by the way.

[-] Metalhead7187@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

So then, fork over your tax dollars to me to pay for my car, you’re racist if you don’t

[-] Exatron@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

You can stop demonstrating that you don't understand what racism is, scout. That was clear the first time you commented.

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

spoken like an llm model. Fuck offl

[-] Exatron@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

You really need to start taking your meds again, sunshine.

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

You are the alt account of that douchebag I bet. Ha ha, pathetic squared.

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

What is your deal? I'm confused why you responded 10x to me last night with no responses from me. Are you mentally unwell?
