Minneapolis police ‘looking into the validity’ of allegations that Ilhan Omar’s team engaged in ballot harvesting

Sep 29, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 29 Comments

Ilhan Omar is likely to be found completely innocent of any wrongdoing, no matter what the facts of the case may be. Why? Because as a quadruple victim — female, migrant, black, Muslim — she has a coveted protected status in American society today, and privilege to do essentially whatever she wants. I’m not saying she is guilty of violating any laws here, although there is plenty of evidence of her violating other laws. I’m just saying that no matter what she has done, she is golden. If she were a Christian male born in the U.S., however, she might be in prison today.

“Minneapolis police investigating ballot harvesting claims amid allegations surrounding Omar,” by Sam Dorman, Fox News, September 28, 2020:

The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating claims by right-wing activist group Project Veritas that individuals tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., engaged in illegal ballot harvesting before the election.

“The Minneapolis Police Department is aware of the allegations of vote harvesting. We are in the process of looking into the validity of those statements,” a department statement read on Monday. “No further information is available at this time on this.”…

“This is totally illegal,” Trump said Sunday, linking to an article on the issue. “Hope that the U.S. Attorney in Minnesota has this, and other of her many misdeeds, under serious review??? If not, why not??? We will win Minnesota because of her, and law enforcement. Saved Minneapolis & Iron O Range!”

Omar responded on Monday by mocking Trump over a New York Times report detaiing how, in 2016, he paid $750 in income taxes.

Project Veritas, a controversial group that has produced a number of misleading videos, claims that a local community leader, Omar Jarmal, blew the whistle on the Minnesota congresswoman’s alleged corruption.

Fox citing NPR to establish that a pro-freedom group’s work, which is based on unaltered video footage, is “misleading.” It’s a sign of how much Fox has deteriorated.

“It’s an open secret,” he reportedly said. “she [Omar] will do anything that she can do to get elected and she has hundreds of people on the streets doing that.”

The investigation purports to show a ballot harvester claiming that he received money to obtain ballots. It also highlights an alleged harvester who boasts about the number of ballots he’s collected for a local official.

PV also claims to have spoken with a former campaign worker who indicated that Omar’s team paid voters for ballots.

According to Newsweek, Omar’s senior communications director, Jeremy Slevin, blasted the investigation as an attempt to delegitimize the election.

“The amount of truth to this story is equal to the amount Donald Trump paid in taxes of ten out of the last fifteen years: zero. And amplifying a coordinated right-wing campaign to delegitimize a free and fair election this fall undermines our democracy,” he said.

    Who cares of her “status” Migrant-Female-Black and Muslim if she’s guilty she should be thrown in prison immediately and absolutely thrown out of any American Political office, she should get a swift and permanent lesson on American justice!!!! Illegal is illegal and a crime is a crime your “status” is irrelevant

      Who cares? The leftists care, which is over 50% of USA’s population. She can basically shoot someone in the streets in broad daylight with numerous witnesses and video evidence, and still get away with it. That’s the power of her victimhood privilege. Just goes to show how much leftist politics have warped basic human values and morals; it’s cancer and should be treated as such by excising it into oblivion.

      Well, by that logic a few dozen Deep Staters and Obama appointees should be on their way to federal prison. They aren’t cuz there are multiple levels of justice in this country, and doggone it the Moslems could use a break up here in Minnesota. Ilhan has endeared herself to the Infidels up here.

      What do Trumps legally file tax returns(from 2016) have to do with Omar,s illegal voter harvesting? I watch the
      “misleading” videos they were trying to scare elderly new immigrants(Moslems) with lost of benefits if they do not hand over their unsealed ballots .Truly the spirit of the democratic party at work. They the vote harvesters were making photo copies of the elderly immigrants SS cards , drivers license ,and benefits cards to put into their own data base .Big sister Omar,s army is watching you grandma and grandpa is the message they are sending out.

          Refugees get fast tracked to citizenship PLUS get all US govt benefits. >95% of them are on welfare and housing benefits and more. And they all vote for their own – identity politics, just like Obama planned when he brought them here.

    By hook or be crook that scheming that Muslim politician ,Ilan Omar with her stealth jihad agenda ,keep on engaging in her blind and unquestioning goal for the advancement of Islam in America .
    Likewise after her election to Congress she was thus was given a seat on the House of Foreign Affairs Committee where she has much scheming influence to promote her Un-American Islamic ideas ,politics and polices ,specifically Sharia law, upon America .

    Omar with her foreign Islamic agenda she desire to impose on America which are in strong contrast to American ideas , values , politic and polices are a matter of concern .

    With this type of insidious Islamic infiltration in the US government the wisdom of the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, very much applies to this serious situation.

    For in a speech President Roosevelt, rightly, declared “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”

    Given the hysteria of today’s political climate, I have absolutely no expectation whatsoever that Minneapolis police will move forward on this issue, regardless of the preponderance of evidence. There will be a cursory investigation, the appropriate political pressure from the mayor’s office will be brought to bear, and the police will find insufficient evidence to lay a charge. Omar will be re-elected and will be more confident and defiant than ever….secure in the knowledge that her race, her gender, and her hijab will protect her from ever having to answer for any of her crimes.

    She’s a large part of the mb’s goal of “destroying and sabotaging” the “miserable.”…certainly, miserable lately…”from within.”

    If the ordinary person committed as many crimes as this sleazy moslim committed, that ordinary Joe or Jane would be behind prison walls…long ago. She has gotten away with it…due to the ‘o”s sleazy deals, due to other moslims gaining office, and the fear of being called names by moslims who wish to “sabotage” and destroy.
    “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy,” said Jesus Christ. He was speaking about satan, the “father of lies,” and father of those whom Jesus called the devil’s “children” because they lie and copy that evil demon. satan is helping her…for the time being…to escape punishment for her evil. But, that help is of short duration, although it may seem like a long time.

    Jesus also said the Truth cannot remain hidden, so the truth about this moslim lar and cheat is coming to light.

    Paying people and telling them they have to vote for her…on top of all of the other acts of fraud…will bring her chickens home. Justice will find her, even if we all must wait for Divine Justice.

        I really don’t think it will be “that long.”

        What is more, the Bible says, via,King Solomon, that “time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all.”
        Accidents, illness, etc. come upon the wicked and evil the same way they come upon the innocent. And each of us will have to answer to our Maker for what we have done or neglected to do.
        Besides, the Bible also says that “God sets up kings and takes down kings,” and when people get toppled from power, the ones wishing and working to topple them think they have done it alone, while God was having a Hand in seeing Justice take place.

      If you look at the video tape it speaks for itself as a “witness”, the subject matter of vote harvesting and or intimating voters is not a right or leftwing subject matter. It is a matter of common decency and following the law no matter your religious beliefs or racial make up does not give you a free pass to throw an election in your favor. As far as Trump,s 2016 tax returns are concerned he has been audit by the IRS and founded he has followed the current guidelines set by the tax laws of the country in 2016 and have nothing to do with being legally elected to office in 2016.
