Gov Ron DeSantis wants Ilhan Omar expelled from Congress and deported over her Somalia comments. Omar gave a speech in Somali language in Minneapolis in which she said the US government must do what Somalis in America tell it to do. In the speech she also said that she is Somali first and Muslim second. No mention of the USA or being American. Some are saying her speech is in direct violation of her oath of office to take care of America.
I think this isn't going to go anywhere. Omar is a mess. She shouldn't be in office. But the people put her there, voting her in, so we are stuck with her.
Ron DeSantis Wants Ilhan Omar Expelled from Congress and Deported Over Somolia Comments
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that “Squad” member Ilhan Omar should be kicked out of both Congress and the US after video emerged of the far-left Democrat giving a speech in which critics say she placed Somali interests above those of the US.
“Expel from Congress, denaturalize and deport!” the former 2024 Republican presidential candidate wrote on X next to a clip of Omar’s remarks.
The latest controversy involving the Minnesota lawmaker kicked off after Omar delivered a Somali-language speech to a gathering of community leaders at a Minneapolis hotel Saturday night, during which she railed against plans by the Ethiopian government to enter a sea access deal with the breakaway Republic of Somaliland.
In a translated video of the remarks shared by DeSantis, Omar said that “the US government will only do what Somalians in the US tell them to do. They must do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia.”
“The US is a country where one of your daughters is in Congress to represent your interest,” added Omar, referring to herself. “For as long as I am in the US Congress, Somalia will never be in danger, its waters will not be stolen by Ethiopia or others … Sleep in comfort, knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the US system.”

This applies to almost all true believers in a particular faith.
Christians are Christian before American. Jews the same. Hindu, Zoroastrian, Sikh and so on.

No it clearly does.
Hence why Christian nutjobs continuously attempt to impose biblical law on America, a secular nation. Replace science with creationism in schools. Denounce it's government as worshipping Satan. Just take your pick from ATS threads. There's at least one a week that suggests such a thing.
Or the Orthodox Jewish lobby groups that seem to think America's sole purpose for existence is to funnel an endless stream of money and weapons to Israel.

She's just saying what the other leftists aren't.
Immigrants voicing what we already know, they crap on every hard working America in the nation, every time that terrorist butt kisser opens her mouth, she sticks her hoof in it.
Murder as contraception, how progressive. Maybe you should get a job weilding the knitting needle or don't you have the stomach for it and leave it to someone else.

Total abortion ban for one. Seemingly for no other reason than the bible apparently says so. Personally I've read the bible in the past and didn't find the passage that says "no abortion" but hey ho.
