Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as “deeply disturbing” and accused the Trump administration of a “rogue abuse of power” just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Let’s see if they do anything besides strong words and maybe some paddles.

    Sorry, Omar, but when you steal millions of dollars from the taxpayers, you may actually have to put up with the indignity of search, seizure, arrest, and sometimes, just sometimes, a prison sentence.

    Omar was financially challenged before “serving” in congress, now she’s a multi-millionaire, she’s one of them. Search “Omar Minnesota Somalia welfare fraud” for more details on this corruption; others are sitting in prison right now for their part in it. It’s Omar’s turn (hopefully, but I won’t hold my breath).

    She’s everything wrong with our politicians today, greedy and corrupt.

    If you cheer Republican raids and arrests, and booooo Democratic raids and arrests (or vice versa), you now understand why your fellow voters are abandoning your major parties in droves. This is why Ds and Rs are only 29% of registered voters each.

    The other 42% of independent Americans want ALL corrupt politicians out of office and serving time, regardless of party affiliation.

    I’m happy that Republicans are cleaning the house (regardless of their true motivation, because we all know it’s not ‘justice’), and I hope and pray that Democrats do the exact same thing to Republicans when they take the majority.

    Make politicians afraid to steal again.

      You kind of seem like you are at least trying to be knowledgeable so I won’t hold it against you but please apply a bit of common sense to the situation. A gotcha article written by a conspiracy theorist is not evidence of a crime. Common sense would tell you if there was evidence, she would be arrested. Republicans want nothing more than to parade a Muslim in the streets as a traitor. If they could they would. Clearly there is no evidence to substantiate this search which is why they used an article 2 judge that essentially approves whatever the president tells them to instead of an actual judge. I am not saying she’s innocent but in America we should strive to give people due process instead of the shitshow we have going on right now.
