This week, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) denied allegations that she knew about the fraud for which Aimee Bock was sentenced to 41 years in federal prison. "I know she says I knew about the scheme to steal millions of dollars in federal funds meant to feed hungry children," Omar said, "but how credible are her claims? The sentencing judge called Bock a dishonest criminal mastermind who has done profound and lasting damage to the community and state, that her conduct was not an impulsive one-time error; it was sustained, organized, and aggressively pursued."
"Now, Bock is a convicted felon," Omar added. "This is a badge of shame only meted out to the worst persons among us. In contrast, I have been a respected member of Congress for more than seven years, reelected three times to serve as a community leader for Somali immigrants to defend not only their interests, but those of Somalia itself. I am a nationally respected voice for the Democratic Party. Many people say I should run for the Senate or presidency. Only fools or enemies of democracy would take Bock's word over mine."
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky) said "our investigation into rampant fraud in Minnesota has revealed that Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were aware of widespread fraud in social service programs, lied about their knowledge of the fraud, and retaliated against employees who dared to raise concerns. Instead of protecting vulnerable Americans, they handed over billions in taxpayer dollars to fraudsters and threw their own state employees under the bus. Considering that the fraud was so profuse as to have consumed billions of taxpayer dollars I can't believe that any government official in Minnesota wouldn't have been aware of it."
Omar dismissed Comer's observations, saying "he is part of Trump's fascist takeover of America. There should be no doubt in any right-thinking person's mind that these people would say and do anything to destroy those of us who are fighting to save our democracy. I was the one who introduced the MEALS Act, which allowed the Department of Agriculture to issue waivers of school-meal requirements during the pandemic. It is not my fault if some people did something to fraudulently divert the funds for illegitimate purposes. Fortunately, the voters of Minnesota are with me, as will be proved when the ballots are counted in the November elections."
In related news, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that "investigators have uncovered brazen schemes that billed taxpayers for non-existent services, fraudulent diagnoses, and fake care so criminals could enrich themselves at public expense. Every fraudulent autism diagnosis steals time, care, and resources from the children for whom this program was designed. Families with autistic children already face enormous challenges navigating therapies, specialists, and support systems. Fraud makes those barriers even steeper."

When are they going to take her name off of the ballot? With all we now know will idiots STILL vote for this fraudulent terrorist? Can she be deported before elections?
What the hell.!
She says the quiet part out loud, which seems to disqualify her from having any right to represent.
Where did her campaign funds come from?
The Queen of the Desert Caravans. She gave everybody a ride.
Mace amendment would require natural-born citizenship for members of Congress and federal judges:
I think that’s something all of us can get behind..
Thanks, John, for another fine column and important comment at the end.
The line between satire and news? Blurrier by the week.
BEING GLIB IS NO DEFENSE
Congresswoman Sgt. Schultz.
Omar says she has been a respected member of Congress for more than 7 years. By who, may I ask? Are their credentials reputable?
