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.

    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.
