Omar: “I Will Not Be Silenced,” NATO Ready to Fight, Saudi Defenses Fail, and More!

Representative Omar, responding to the search of her home, said she will not be silenced.

And I want to be clear about this.

The search of the Minnesota representative's home so close to next month's midterm election is something that I find incomprehensible.

The Trump administration has targeted her, according to Omar's own words, "For 10 years, he has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns.

This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.

I will not be silenced." Now, let me make my position clear.

I am no defender of Ilhan Omar.

I disagree with her on multiple issues, but this is outrageous and egregious.

The search was carried out by agents with Homeland Security Investigations, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

And then DHS said, "If you have any questions, go to the Justice Department." All I can say is there is something horrifically wrong here, and something needs to be addressed and addressed now.

President Donald Trump has also said that she was being targeted as one of the Republicans' political enemies.

He has said that repeatedly.

Do you understand the implications when the President of the United States can use a federal department, and I'm speaking now of the Justice Department and Homeland Security, in order to carry out his political agenda? No, my friends, this makes what Richard Nixon did, uh, like nothing.

This is something which we must respond to, and the full House of Representatives ought to be reconvened to deal with these questions.

Let me point out that Republicans have raised questions about Omar's past since before she was even elected, including assertions that she had married her brother and committed immigration fraud.

Omar has broadly denied the allegations as disgusting lies.

This is something we need to understand.

Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader and presumptive Speaker, made a statement.

He said, "Now less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a dir- duly elected member of Congress and her family." Uh, I don't know why there isn't more outrage.

I don't know why people are not up in arms.

I don't know why when the executive branch uses its considerable power a-against a political so-called enemy.

So let me be crystal clear.

This deserves a massive investigation, not of Omar, but of the Trump administration and its misuse and abuse of power.

I hope that if the Democrats take the House of Representatives, as I believe they will, there will be a thorough investigation into this matter.

Now, for some of you who think I'm being harsh, let me be clear.
