Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign recently dropped tens of thousands of dollars on private security services following her calls to defund the police and support for a campaign to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department, federal filings show.
According to Federal Election Commission records, the campaign spent $27,081.14 on “security services” between July and September, the highest quarter to date.
Before the third quarter, her campaign paid roughly $83,000 to private security firms between May 2019 and July this year, according to a review of federal filings.
The payments also follow Omar’s calls to defund police and her support for a campaign to dismantle and replace the Minneapolis Police Department, which has experienced a sharp increase in most crimes over the last year.
Following George Floyd’s death in May 2020, Minneapolis’s violent crime skyrocketed. Last year, the city fell one murder short of hitting its all-time high of 97 homicides in 1997. And while murders have declined this year, many other crimes are trending in the opposite direction, including soaring motor vehicle thefts, larceny/thefts, carjackings, destruction of property and assaults.
Omar, meanwhile, first championed the “defund the police” movement shortly after Floyd’s death.
Paul Pelosi hasn’t spent a dime.
HAH!
In more sane days, she’d be prosecuted for fraud, waste and abuse.
That’s not *her* money.
It’s not that much. She’s probably banging the guys, too.
Where does she get the money for it? Is she allowed to use campaign money?
This filthy bitch thinks she will be the last to get eaten when the SHTF. She is sorely mistaken.
Omar is a conartist. The American taxpayer paid for her security. Her base salary is $174k but she pockets over 4 times that with perks. She may have paid $86k for security but billed the American tax payer three times that amount.
Probably like the scene in Joe Dirt - "I'm your sister! I'm your sister!"
I can’t imagine why they would want a defenseless, terrified national citizenry.
Congresscritters get expenses above salary. Something like an average of $1.5 million.
WTF!!!
Isn’t that for staff? I guess they can manipulate whatever they want for whatever they want.
Effin’ crooks. So disgusting.
And we let them get away with it, time and time again.
Absolutely despicable. All those poor people in Minneapolis and other cities in Minnesota (and around the country) that need police protection cannot effort private security services like this bitch purchases for herself.
She’s the one who married her brother.
Does her bubba/hubby own a security company now?
Why not ask for police protection, asked Mr Too Stupid To Live.
They knew she was a snake.
100k is nothing other than theater
How much did we the people spend (assuming there was any credible threat and it was prudent to assign a team)
Did you know?
He’s no longer residing in the US.
He’s gay.
Omar is incredibly ungrateful. She has been allowed to illegally sign false papers to enter the greatest country in the world and even to attain elected office. But she hates America.
She left a #@#@hole that has the 2nd highest infant mortality rate in the world (Afghanistan is #1).
What is housing like in Somalia?
The typical Somali house is either a cylindrical hut with a conical thatched roof or a rectangular hut with an angular roof of thatch or metal.(nationsensecyclopedia.com)
Is Somalia a low income country?
Poverty in Somalia is deep and widespread. In 2019, an estimated 69% of the population lived below the poverty line, with GDP per capita estimated at $502 in 2021. The worsening drought is calculated to have led to nearly 50% of the population becoming food insecure.
