JD Vance wildly claims Ilhan Omar ‘definitely committed immigration fraud,’ White House will ‘go after’ her - Lemmy.World

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.

Which is extra weird considering this is his wife:

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.

Peculiar, while accurate, to see folks from india referred to as Asian.

Isn’t that a joke they made in Pineapple Express? “What sort of Asian!? Indian people are technically Asian!”

Did you know that in the UK when people use the term Asian they mean people with South Asian ethnicity.

What do they use for east Asian?
Show threadSkunkWorkz2d ago
East Asian or Chinese, Japanese etc. Or oriental if they are racist.

It gets confusing because usually people just call them asian too 💀 i say “east asian” though because everyone knows you mean chinese, korean et cetera in that case, and you might specify south asian for indians, pakistanis etc.

In the UK we have more south asians than east asians, but I’m pretty sure it’s the inverse in america. So if somekne in the uk says describes someine as “asian,” it’s a safer bet that they mean “indian subcontinent” or middle east rather than East-Asian.
