Congressional Candidate Says She Would 'Dismantle Every Oppressive System' in America If Elected

Massachusetts congressional candidate Ihssane Leckey says she wants to "dismantle every oppressive system" in America even though these were the same systems that helped her immigrate to America from Northern Africa and achieve a successful life and career.

Leckey, who is running to fill Rep. Joe Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts's 4th congressional district, says she immigrated to America from Morocco at the age of 20 and was able to become the "first person in her family to graduate from college."

However, in a new ad, she claims that the same country that helped her "start from nothing to become successful" was built on the "suffering of its people."

Perfect example of why we need to end all immigration. We need to close the boarder to everyone for 100 years.

Leave it to a Morrocan to tell us how to change America.

I’ve noticed other Paper (fake) Americans telling us how to change our country, like Omar, Tlaib, AOC, Sawant, and Jayapal, all foreigners who should be expelled.

I find it interesting that these frauds are all women.

We live in a toxic, feminized world.

Soon....
Omar and AOC pushing her aside. The nerve of the little upstart trying to steal our face time on TV. The nerve.

They are not all foreigners, are they? Some were born here. Morons, but citizens.

What is it with the left? They flee the mess they made for a nicer place, then, make the new place into another mess. It’s just a lot of laziness is what their problem is.

Well, just one nitpick, Sandy Cortez is actually a natural born citizen, since she’s Puerto Rican.

And more evidence that the 19th amendment wasn't such a good idea. And how can voters be so stupid as to actually vote for such moronic sophomores as AOC and this demented little ingrate snot as their "leaders??

AOC might have been born on American territory, thus legally-speaking, a member of the American State but not of the American Nation, and this distinction makes all the difference, IMO.

As loathsome as they are, they aren’t foreigners. Tlaib was born in Detroit. Ocasio-Cortez was born in New York. Sawant and Jayapal are duly naturalized U.S. citizens.

Omar is a not-so-duly-naturalized U.S. citizen, although she remains a citizen unless and until her naturalization is revoked.

I don’t know what your personal definitions of “state” and “nation” are that you base that distinction on, but they’re not legally relevant.
