The Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, has gone furthest in her response to the clip, calling Omar a “foreign agent in our government”. Greene, a leading supporter of Donald Trump, who also attempted to censure the Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib in November, called Omar a “terrorist sympathizer” on X last week, adding: “Somalian first. Muslim second. She never mentions America.”
I vote we should be allowed to see ALL donors of ALL politicians. full disclosure. And ban super-PACS altogether. We'll see whose the foreign agent.
We already voted on that bill. The Republicans voted against it, for some reason.
Who's
on first.
What's on second.
I don't know is on third

How many book sales are a form of getting around suspicious reporting, though? They write (or have shadow writers write) a book; sell them in bulk to... "super pacs" or whatevers; which are entirely funded by... russians, chineese, american oligarchs, etc.
They also report late, or not at all. (Mike Johnson doesn't have a bank account? interesting.)
That's cute
Do something about that ratfuck Bob Menendez first
