Ilhan Omar Wants President Trump Prosecuted For “Criminal Neglect” During Pandemic
Ilhan Omar is demanding that President Trump be investigated and prosecuted for criminal neglect with the way that he handled the coronavirus pandemic. The lawmaker from Minnesota made the bold call during an interview on MSNBC on Thursday.
Anchor Yasmin Vossoughian first mentioned how the President tried to downplay the virus initially and how it ended up killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. He then said that there could be an independent commission in the Biden administration that would investigate the matter. “Representative Clyburn said today, telling my colleague Chuck Todd there could be feasibly an independent commission inside of the Biden administration. Is that something you support?” Vossoughian asked Omar.
“I do. As you know, I lost my father on June 16th. I remember my dad was in Kenya. He came back into the United States when COVID hit because he thought he would be safer here. I know that my father and over 300,000 people have lost their lives to COVID because of dangerous criminal neglect by Trump and his administration,” Omar said as she tried to blame the President for the death of his father.
“I agree with Clyburn that it is not enough for us just to issue subpoenas. We have to investigate and prosecute these people responsible for these reckless deaths,” Omar said. “My father should be here today. So many of my family members should be here today, and they aren’t here because we don’t have leaders that care about their lives. The president, this day has not shown an answer of compassion to the people who have passed away. They still have not acknowledged the devastating loss so many of us are feeling,” Omar added.
Omar’s family had benefited from the immigration system. The family originally escaped war-torn Somalia and spent years in Kenya as refugees. They were blessed to live privileged lives by being admitted into the United States, but now Omar is doing everything that she can to undermine the American way of life.
Omar has been accused of several corrupt practices. It is also believed that she married her brother in order to get him American citizenship. That act was condoned by his father who wanted to get as much as they can out of the American system.
