An obnoxious Rep. Ilhan Omar laughed off accusations she was connected to the fraud scandal rocking Minnesota’s Somali community, and belittled a reporter for asking about it, according to a videos she posted to Instagram.
“Why would there be an allegation that I’m complicit? How would I be complicit?” the Minnesota socialist snapped at a reporter asking about the recent House Oversight Committee hearing on the matter.
“Do you just ask stupid questions?” she barked.
Scrutiny is growing over Omar’s skyrocketing family wealth, after she went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year, according to her own Congressional financial disclosures.

That's a guilty person's non-answer.
Clinton was a master at it

When this corrupt, lying woman is finally arrested, charged and convicted for immigration fraud and corruption we can begin to think that maybe our justice system is starting to work again. Until then, the system is pure corruption and political.

Take that as a "Yes". She is a crook. That is her mission along with the rest of Somalis which is to destroy our country from within.

Why is she still here? Why is this taking so long?
Charge her. Confiscate her wealth. Deport her. The Somali government will take care of her, permanently.

Fist right to the lying face should go a long way. Snatch her up in the middle of the night, drop her off in Somalia with no ID, no way to get back. Arrest at the border if she attempts reentry..

Would someone please just snatch this POS up in the middle of the night, and then have her mysteriously re appear days later in Mogadishu, without her phone, purse, or passport.
I am quite sure the government has in its employ someone who can do these sorts of things quietly. America would be eternally grateful.

She’s the poster child of the country of her origin. When you see her or hear her voice, the stench is overpowering.

Not middle of the night.
In broad daylight with cameras rolling so everyone can finally see justice done and our laws taken seriously as she's arrested, frog marched, charged, tried, convicted, her ill gotten gains taken, and finally deported to her own country.

I'm with poster #12. If the DOJ can't even charge, convict and/or deport this Somalian pos, it does not bode well for any of the thousands of criminals within our supremely corrupt bureaucracy ever being convicted of anything. Yeah, I'm impatient. However, mid terms are coming up and people will show up much more readily if some progress is seen in jailing these criminals.

“goddam……” the devout follower of the religion of peace spews. Where did she pick up that vocabulary? back in Somalia? She wears that turban and her religion of peace, but it’s all fake. She’s a potty-mouth thug and performance artist.

Notice that she did not answer the question, just insulted the person asking it.

The question is stupid. Everybody knows that muslims lie all the time, especially when they are guilty of something.

A military flight out of Joint Base Andrews, in a large trunk. Piece of cake. They can even drop it off at the other end by parachute, or not.

She didn't answer the question. Only Democrats in good standing can get away with that in DC.
