Ilhan Omar and her "little" accounting error

[T. A. Gardner]

Seems Ilhan Omar made a slight mistake in reporting her net worth in public documents. She initially claimed she was worth $30 million, give or take, reviewed the documents, and signed off on that. Now, that she's under a proverbial microscope for squirrelly financial shit, she has suddenly revised her net worth to $95,000. That's one hellofa reduction! Like to 0.3% of what she initially claimed.

Rep. Ilhan Omar blames ‘discrepancy’ on financial disclosures listing $30M net worth – insists she’s not a millionaire

Charge her with the crime of not knowing her wealth. Then charge Trump for the same thing,

Oops. Now sic the pitbulls on her!

Yeah. I truly don't understand the fascination with Omar. Do they think she will destroy America?

Well @T. A. Gardner?

 

[BartenderElite]

I can't say I plan on losing any sleep over this one.

Is this supposed to be scandalous?

He's (they're) trying too hard to connect her to the fraud.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Well @T. A. Gardner?

No, but she is, in a way symbolic of a serious problem in America.

It's not hard. In fact, it's in your face.

 

[AProudLefty]

So where are the charges?

 

[AProudLefty]

No, but she is, in a way symbolic of a serious problem in America.

In what way? Being a foreign Black woman?

That's one. As I have pointed out, there's a pretty good case based on numerous examples to show that electing a Black female has a high likelihood of resulting in corruption, fraud, and civic ruin.

She's not from America. So your stats fall flat.

Like Trump University?

She's Black and she's female.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Way to try and change the subject! This isn't about Trump. You want to discuss Trump University start a thread.

 

[AProudLefty]

She's Black and she's female.

Does your "stats" include them from different countries?

You were talking about fraud, and you seemed to think that being a black woman was some kind of differentiator. It's just an illustrative counter-example.

What do you have to back up your contention? Any opinion pieces handy?

No problem if it's a white female.

Am I right, @T. A. Gardner? If it happens, it's just a fluke?

 

[Moosakofsky]

Where she’s from wasn’t included in his stats.

 

[AProudLefty]

No shit, Sherlock? That's the point.
