House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) called for an ethics investigation into Somali refugee Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over her recent remarks saying she represents her native Somalia in Congress that have brought calls for her to resign, be expelled from Congress, stripped of her citizenship and deported.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) speaks at a meeting welcoming the president of Somalia to Minnesota, December 15, 2022, screen image.
Emmer has previously called for Omar to resign over her alleged ‘Somali first’ remarks. A House Ethics Committee investigation could result in a recommendation for expulsion as happened with former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) who was expelled from Congress by a vote of the House after an ethics investigation last year.
A video excerpt of Omar’s speech given Saturday in Minneapolis:

Omar has disputed the translation of her remarks spoken in her native Somali language to a Somali-American audience in Minneapolis on Saturday. More videos and press reports have been discovered since Saturday that show Omar using similar language that indicates she has long considered herself a Somali citizen working to advance the interests of the Somali government in Congress.

Note: This is an edited version posted by End Wokeness that cut out Omar’s comments on December 15, 2022 about the cold December weather in Minnesota, saying Mohamud’s next visit should be in the summer.
A week later in December 2022, Omar again referred to Somalia as “our country” spoke of “we…as Somalis” in remarks made in Somalia while addressing government leaders (VOA excerpt):
U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar hailed recent victories scored by the Somali government and local community forces against al-Shabab militants in central Somali regions.
Omar, who was born in Somalia, has been visiting the country since Thursday. In Mogadishu, she met with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre and members of the Cabinet and parliamentarians on Monday.
Speaking at a dinner in her honor hosted by Barre, Omar congratulated the Somali leaders for the “big success” against al-Shabab militants.
Omar called for collaboration in defeating the group she accused of “dishonoring” Islam.
“Our country and our religion have been associated with terrorism [because] of the dishonor they brought on us,” she said. “We have to get rid of them as Somalis and as Muslims and pray and support each other in that work.”
The Daily Mail was first to report on Emmer’s letter to the Ethics Committee (excerpt):
Following massive backlash and calls for her to resign or even be deported, House GOP Whip Tom Emmer is demanding an ethics investigation into her ‘appalling’ rhetoric.
According to a letter obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, Emmer asked the House Ethics Committee to probe whether the Minnesota Democrat had violated Rule XXIII, clause 1, which states: ‘a Member of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect credibly on the House.’
…’No sitting member of Congress should be able to blatantly spew anti-American rhetoric and get away with it. I am demanding an ethics investigation into Ilhan Omar’s appalling, Somalia-first comments to ensure that she starts taking her oath of office and commitment to the 5th district of Minnesota seriously,’ said Emmer, a fellow Minnesotan, in a statement.

O’Keefe Media Group has released part two of their investigative series in Washington, DC, where an unwitting Biden White House whistleblower admitted that Joe Biden’s mental health is in decline, and there are closed-door discussions about how to remove Kamala Harris from the 2024 ticket without stirring a “scandal” and giving poor optics to the American people.
Charlie Kraiger, a Cybersecurity policy analyst and Foreign affairs Desk Officer in the Executive Office at the White House, tells O’Keefe that he protects “the networks of the federal agencies, who you give all your information to,” and his team is “the President’s voice” concerning policy making.
After telling O’Keefe that Joe and Kamala will be the nominees in 2024, “sadly,” he divulged the secret discussions about Joe Biden’s mental fitness for a second term and Kamala Harris’ unpopularity within the administration, including with black staff who have “quit on her en masse.”
Kraiger added, “She’s not popular, but you can’t remove the first black lady to be Vice President from the goddamn presidential ticket!”
“Like, what kind of message are you going to send to African American voters? How would you spin that?” he continued.
Though Biden’s condition has not been clinically diagnosed “yet,” said Kraiger, he still believes that Biden’s mental health is in decline and notes that his colleagues are aware. “He is definitely slowing down,” Kraiger told O’Keefe.
Speaking about what he’s heard in the Executive Office, Kraiger said, “They’re really concerned about it,” and “I think they need to get rid of him or get rid of her.”
“But no one in modern history has ever said, like, ‘We’re not going to renominate the president for a second term.’”
And Michelle Obama is not coming to the rescue for the Democrats, according to Kraiger, who said, “I had a meeting with Michelle Obama…. Someone asked her, ‘Will you ever run for office?’ And she said, ‘No’ Empathically.” She was like, ‘I’ve seen all this sh*t my husband has had to go through, and that does not interest me.’”
One week ago, The Gateway Pundit also reported that O’Keefe Media Group released an explosive story after a congressional insider told him that congress members are coerced into voting a certain way by party leadership, leveraging secret affairs and “sex parties” against them.
“Madison Cawthorn wasn’t lying, neither,” said the source.
It also became apparent that the animus between competing parties in Washington is all a facade, as the intern for Republicans in Congress was actually a Trump-hating Democrat, which his former employer, Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR), did not seem to care about.

O’Keefe is expected to release more footage tomorrow from his encounter with Charlie Kraiger after the Biden White House official ran out of the restaurant, tailed by O’Keefe and two undercover cameramen.

Joe Biden will name Clintonite John Podesta as the new Climate Envoy to replace John Kerry, according to the Washington Post.
Last summer the Biden Regime trotted out Podesta, a current Biden advisor and former Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton, to lecture us on ‘climate change.’
Podesta admitted Joe Biden’s so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ is actually the Marxist green new deal repackaged with a different name.
“We have to cut the carbon pollution that’s driving the climate crisis and that’s what the ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ is all about!” Podesta said last August.
Podesta also absurdly claimed Americans across the political spectrum support climate change mandates.
“Across the political spectrum, they support the movement to cleaner forms of energy, cleaner forms of transportation!” Podesta said.

Hey look! John Podesta’s back. And he’s lecturing us about climate change!

Earlier this month it was reported that John Kerry will step down as Joe Biden’s Climate Envoy this winter or early spring.
Kerry, 80, was appointed as Joe Biden’s Climate Czar in November 2020 during the transition.
John Kerry, the private-jet-setting hypocrite, operated in secret for three years.
Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) filed a FOIA lawsuit in an effort to obtain emails between John Kerry’s office and various climate change groups.
The emails turned over to PPT from John Kerry’s office were heavily redacted.
Not one staffer’s name was revealed.
Fox News obtained the documents from PPT.
“It hardly seems in the public interest, in fact it appears the antithesis of serving the public interest, to hide the names of government officials who are communicating with controversial outside activist organizations that are attempting to influence government policy,” PPT director Michael Chamberlain told Fox News Digital.
Last July Congressman Brian Mast asked John Kerry to identify the senior staff working in his office on taxpayer’s dime.
Kerry refused to identify his senior staffers and threw a tantrum after Rep. Mast pressed him to be transparent.
John Podesta, a lifelong corrupt DC Democrat will also likely be operating in secret.

Federal gun charges against Hunter Biden should be thrown out because the special counsel appointed by the Biden administration to bring those charges is doing the will of former President Donald Trump and his allies, according to a court filing from Hunter Biden’s attorneys.
Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to a charge of lying about his drug use in October 2018 when he completed a federal form to buy a gun, according to The Associated Press.
The charge had been set to be resolved last summer as part of a plea deal that included the tax charges against Hunter Biden, but the plea deal collapsed.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who had led the investigation that resulted in the plea deal, was then appointed a special counsel to investigate the case and filed new indictments against Hunter Biden in December.
“The filings made by the prosecutors provide more evidence that these charges result from a politically motivated attack instigated by former President Trump and his MAGA allies,” Abbe Lowell, who is Hunter Biden’s attorney, said in a statement Tuesday, according to The Messenger.
“This pressure caused the prosecutors to violate their own non-prosecution agreement, the DOJ’s own regulations for how they should have been appointed, and the Constitution to pursue them,” Lowell said.
In one of several filings Tuesday, Hunter Biden’s attorneys said he “was unconstitutionally charged for partisan political reasons because his father is a sitting President seeking reelection and the prosecution succumbed to the Republicans trying to defeat that President.”
“Mr. Biden is being targeted because he is the son of a sitting Democratic President and a political rival of former President Trump, who seeks to defeat President Biden in the upcoming presidential election,” the attorneys wrote.
The filing said a deal to scuttle the charge that was rejected by a federal judge should be restored.
“No matter how fervently the prosecution’s decision to enter into the Diversion Agreement is criticized by extremist Republican politicians and the right-wing press, the prosecution remains bound by the agreement it struck,” the filing said, according to the New York Post.
“The Court must not allow the prosecution to renege on its agreement,” the filing asserted.
The filing said the prosecution of Hunter Biden was “selective and vindictive.”
“[W]e know exactly how Mr. Weiss would have resolved this case absent outside pressure to treat Mr. Biden more harshly because Mr. Weiss did try to resolve,” the charges through the plea deal, the filing said.
“That is, until Mr. Weiss was under pressure and heavy criticism from Republican extremists arose. In response to that outcry from former President Trump, extremist House Republicans and right-wing media looking to make Mr. Biden’s fate a political issue in the next presidential election, the prosecution blew up that deal and now has brought felony charges against Mr. Biden both here in Delaware and in California and is seeking a heavy prison sentence for charges the prosecution was willing to resolve for probation just months ago,” the filing said
Last year, in response to another motion, a document filed by Weiss’s office noted that Hunter Biden’s claims that he was charged because Trump was out to get him ignore the timing of the charges that were filed.
“[N]ot only does defendant’s motion fail to identify any actual evidence of bias, vindictiveness, or discriminatory intent on the Special Counsel’s part, his arguments ignore an inconvenient truth: No charges were brought against defendant during the prior administration when the subpoena recipients actually held office in the Executive Branch,” the filing said.
“Defendant has not shown, nor can he, how external statements by political opponents of President Biden improperly pressured him, his Attorney General, or the Special Counsel to pursue charges against the President’s son.”

The Daily Caller obtained an exclusive video of illegal aliens being held in a secret room at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.
Republican Georgia State Senator Colton Moore on Tuesday captured video of illegal aliens tucked away hidden under military guard at the Atlanta airport. The Georgia lawmaker learned about the hidden illegals from a whistleblower who works at the airport.
The anonymous whistleblower noticed an increase in illegals coming through the airport.
Daily Caller reported:
A video exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation appears to show a U.S. service member guarding a room chock-full of illegal immigrants at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International airport.
Republican state Sen. Colton Moore, who is the vice chairman of the Georgia Freedom Caucus, took the video Tuesday night and told the DCNF that he learned of the hidden room full of migrants through a “whistleblower” at Atlanta’s airport, who noticed an influx of illegal migrants coming through the facility in recent months. In the video, there appears to be a uniformed soldier guarding a room full of migrants and volunteers with a group called Team Libertad, which boasts of helping migrants travel on its social media accounts.
“We’re all getting them flights to where they need to be,” a man who identified himself as a volunteer from Team Libertad says in the video. “These are just recently documented travelers getting released from ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] getting to where they need to be.”
The video shows a room that looks like it is guarded by a uniformed soldier. There is also a volunteer from a group called Libertad which is an NGO that helps illegal aliens.
When State Senator Colton Moore attempted to get in to take closer video, he was stopped and prevented from documenting further footage.
“Actually you cannot get a video. No, no, you are not allowed.” That was the response from those preventing him from getting more video.
Exclusive footage from Jennie Taer from the Daily Caller.

“I went to Atlanta Airport after a Whistleblower reported to me a room guarded by U.S. Military FULL of Illegal Aliens,” Senator Moore said on X.
“Brian Kemp, Joe Biden this is a total dereliction of your duty and breach of public trust onto Georgians. GA Borders are Breached. TREASON!” the Georgia lawmaker said.
“We are being invaded and the State and Federal Government are backing this human trafficking operation of unimaginable size at the Largest Airport in the World,” he said.

Airports across the country have seen illegals flying to various cities across the US. Tucson is one example of this as reported by TGP in November of 2023.
An estimated 11 million illegals have poured into the US in the last three years.
The Biden regime has failed to uphold the Constitution. The Federal Government is responsible for protecting our nation from foreign invasion in Article IV, Section 4 Of the US Constitution and has failed to do so.
