And why did Swalwell leave Congress so quickly and Omar is still there like nothing happened?

Payoffs are a good guess.

Deport her….
Yes, but after putting her ass in prison for a couple decades first. I’d gladly support funding that!

If true, this fella has a point.

The wording sounds like POLITICAL GRANDSTANDING which is what political hacks call oversight.

She’s a triple word score, she’s safe. She’s black, female and muslim. If anyone so much as THINKS of doing anything to her they’re racist, sexist, and an islamophobe.
