    In a lengthy social media post, Obama said the administration’s attack on Omar (D-Minn.) violates “a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say.”

    Does the Trump administration care about American democracy?

    Apparently he was aware of allegations against her but failed to investigate, and Trump used that as justification of a cover up ?

      Apparently you are either gullible or just spreading bullshit.

      “To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts,” Obama wrote. “Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen AUTOMATICALLY.”
