According to Ilhan Omar, the reason fraud has gotten so out of hand in Minnesota is because of COVID. This statement comes after the DOJ announced it is looking into an alleged fraud network operating in the state.

According to Fox News:

"I think what happened, um, is that, you know, when you have these, kind of new programs that are, um, designed to help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up — they were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created," Omar told the host.

She should have thought a little harder about that answer. Surely, she was more prepared for the interview than to give that pathetic response? You would assume, but clearly, not.

After the congresswoman's response, Tapper criticized President Donald Trump for making "shockingly bigoted" comments about not only Omar, but "the entire Somali community in Minnesota," while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday.

So are we just supposed to forget all the “shockingly bigoted” comments she has made about the president over the years? What about all the lies? Classic leftist response here: point the finger and blame everyone else for exactly what you are doing. But what else is new?

"These Somalians have taken billions of dollars out of our country. They’ve taken billions and billions of dollars. They have a representative, Ilhan Omar, who they say married her brother. She should be thrown the hell out of our country. And most of those people, they have destroyed Minnesota. She should not be — and her friend shouldn't be allowed — frankly, they shouldn‘t even be allowed to be Congress people, okay? They shouldn't even be allowed to be Congress people, because they don’t represent the interests of our country," Trump told reporters.

I think most people reading this would tend to agree with this statement. I am not here to tell you those comments were based, but I am also not here to tell you they are not based.

"I’m not shocked, because we know that the president oftentimes resorts to very bigoted, xenophobic, Islamophobic, racist rhetoric when he is trying to scapegoat and deflect from the actual failures that he has himself," Omar said. "We know that this administration has not fulfilled the majority of the promises that they’ve made, whether it is bringing costs down, whether it is the tariffs that are decimating businesses in the United States, whether it is the possible war crimes that his defense secretary is committing."

Again, people like her have no real arguments or substance to offer. This is why they resort to ad hominem attacks and say asinine things like “xenophobic, Islamophobic, and racist rhetoric.” Trump never said anything about race. And it’s not xenophobic or Islamophobic to hold people accountable when they commit massive fraud. But as previously mentioned, these people won’t hesitate to point the finger and blame others for their own insecurities. So, when she claims Trump “is trying to scapegoat and deflect from the actual failures that he has himself,” that could not be a better representation of herself if she tried.

And while it’s cute that she claimed he’s not delivering on his promises, the American people believe otherwise.

Over half of voters disagree with her, so the math is not adding up. But again, she has no real arguments, which is why she deflected to COVID and slandered the president with the most overplayed insults known to man. But again, what else is new?
