Republican Representative Tom Emmer, who was just reelected to lead House Republicans as the party’s whip, a member of the GOP leadership in the House, appears to be doubling down on bigotry and racism following his party’s massive midterm defeat.
On Thursday, Emmer, who represents Minnesota’s 6th congressional district, called on the U.S. military to remove his fellow Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar, who is of Somali origin, saying that she should be removed from Congress after ranting about all the Somalis in his state. Emmer was speaking to conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, who asked him if Omar was an American citizen.
“I don’t think she should be. I think it’s gonna be proven that her birthdate—she has lied about it repeatedly. I think that’s documented,” Emmer said.
Remember when an outburst like this would be career ending? I miss those times.
Remember when the idea of a president plotting a violent coup was unthinkable?
Biden should have had Trump HANGED for January 6th
I’m not pro-death-penalty but if there is a time to use it, yeah, treason would be one of those times. The fact that he was allowed to be put in a position of power again is a travesty. Now it’s kind of assumed that another coup attempt will happen. I just hope there’s a plan to stop it
Oh at this point I only expect a January 6th every time a Republican loses
They just can’t help it, no matter how unpopular their policies are shown to be. They only know how to be racist authoritarians bent on brutalist domination over whatever they don’t like.
The Republican Party must be expunged from American politics.
This racist pile of shit should be removed and barred from any form of civil service or politics, like not even allowed to comment on politics or be a paperboy.
Oh, they are laser-focused on this, meanwhile, the convicted rapist in the WH will have his involvement with Epstein covered up…
FreshParsnip calls for top republicans to be hauled off to jail
Yeah not the pedophile, kid raping, tax evading, insurrectionist, narcissistic aashole in the Oval Office. That would be too obvious
exile Emmer, Musk et al to Mars now
Too humane for subhuman trash.
Republicans really just want to double-down on all the shit that lost them the midterms, huh? Fucking morons. Can’t wait to see how this pans out for them in 2 years. There won’t be any republicans left in Washington. They just can’t seem to learn their fucking lesson.
how many people lie about their birthdate though?
Conmen like the modern GOP lie about everything to a degree that is meant to make you stop questioning them on it. “Flood the zone”
This specific conspiracy is probably in reference to the fact that Ilhans birthdate was incorrectly put into a library reference of the state senators but this was corrected by the library at Ilhans request before her first state rep term was done. Being born in a country like Somalia and with a mother who died when she was 2 it is entirely possible that her birthday could be a few days or weeks off but that is pretty common with those circumstances and not really relevant to her citizenship.
Oh really? Well, you racist guardian of pedophile, you all shouldn’t be US citizens… the US is a melting pot of awesomeness and ya’ll are the stupid ICE cubes cooling it off. Fuck you, you piles of shit.
