Rep. Ilhan Omar told MS NOW that the federal raid on her Washington home was intended to scare people away from voting in the midterms, while insisting it has instead energized early turnout. The investigation concerns possible immigration fraud, and President Trump has said she could face jail if the allegations are true.
Let me guess the ending: subpoenas, cable hits, a fundraising email or two, then a quiet closed file after November. Nobody goes to jail. Nobody loses a seat. The raid becomes a bumper sticker, the outrage becomes cash, and we all get amnesia by spring. Intimidation? Please. This is a product launch.
