Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has finally spoken out on allegations that she was involved in a major fraud scandal during the COVID pandemic.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, court exhibits from the massive $250 MILLION Feeding Our Future fraud trial have revealed that Omar’s name appeared several times in email chains and text messages with convicted fraudster Aimee Bock.

Bock served as the mastermind behind the largest COVID-era fraud scheme targeting children’s nutrition programs.

According to trial exhibits unsealed in Aimee Bock’s case, Omar’s office was directly involved in communications with the fraud ring.

Bock has also stated that she believes Omar knew exactly what was going on and actively helped keep the fraudulent program alive.

“I struggle to believe that she wouldn’t have known,” Bock said of Omar.

This would certainly make sense. As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald noted, Omar personally introduced the Maintaining Essential Access to Lunch for Students (MEALS) Act in March 2020, which gave the USDA authority to issue those waivers during the pandemic.

On Wednesday, Omar fired back against allegations that she knew what was going on. Moreover, she laid the blame at you-know-who.

“Any claim that I had knowledge of this scheme is flat-out false,” Omar said in a written statement to Fox News.

“The MEALS Act was signed into law by President Trump and passed with bipartisan support as part of a broader legislative package,” she added. “Trump’s USDA Secretary set the regulatory framework during the rollout of the program.

“I have always championed feeding kids and will continue to ensure our children do not go hungry.”

Omar also insisted she was glad that these vile individuals involved in the scam were busted.

“As I stated from the beginning, stealing millions of dollars under the guise of feeding hungry children to bankroll lavish lifestyles and extravagant expenses is reprehensible,” Omar said.

“I’m grateful that Aimee Bock and every individual involved in this abhorrent scheme are being held accountable for defrauding taxpayers and betraying vulnerable children.”

Whether or not Omar was involved in the scandal, Democrats are determined that she will never face any accountability.

Earlier this month, Minnesota Democrats blocked a subpoena targeting Omar over her alleged connections to the state’s scandal.

Real America’s Voice Correspondent Ben Bergquam, host of Law and Border, captured an incredible moment on camera when an illegal alien crashed his car on the same road as police were arresting another illegal alien driver.

During the arrest on the side of a highway in Broward County, Florida, Bergquam captured footage of a white pickup truck rear-ending another gray pickup truck. The gray truck, driven by an illegal alien, was hit after the driver slammed on the brakes and got into a minor collision with another car, which drove off, as the white truck collided with the rear.

Officers rushed across the highway only to discover another illegal alien driving one of the cars!

“We’re over here picking up one illegal driving this van, and then this ends up happening. This driver slammed on his brakes, this guy hits him, but then this guy just happens to be illegal too,” Bergquam said to the camera.

“The density of the population of illegals in America, most Americans just can’t comprehend it. I mean, literally, we’re picking up this guy. This guy’s an illegal driver, and gets rear-ended by this guy, who’s just on his way to work. Crazy,” he added.

Bergquam told The Gateway Pundit that the driver was discovered to be driving without a license or insurance. The driver had also been arrested multiple times prior for driving without a license.

“We just have so many illegals in this country. That’s like the third time I’ve had that, where we’re going one person, and we end up getting multiples at the same scene,” Bergquam told us of his experience riding along with ICE. “You could look on a road, and it’s probably a high percentage of all the vehicles are here illegally, and most all of them are driving without a license or insurance and putting every single one of us in danger.”

Bergquam shared the clip on X, writing, “Crazy scene on our Florida 287(g) Highway Patrol / ICE operation. As we’re picking up one illegal another illegal crashes right next to us. The truth is most Americans can’t comprehend how many illegals are in our country. Thank God, ICE and America First states like Florida are fighting to fix it!”

Blue states are known for giving driver’s licenses and commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to illegal aliens to wreak havoc across the nation, even in defiance of the federal government.

US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced last month that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is withholding $73,502,543 in federal highway funds from New York State over its refusal to revoke thousands of illegally issued CDLs from illegal aliens.

Rodgers signed with the Packers in 2005 and became the quarterback for Green Bay in 2008 after Brett Favre retired.

In 2023, Rodgers signed with the New York Jets.

Rodgers suffered an ankle injury 5 minutes into his debut with the New York Jets on September 11, 2023, and was out for the entire season.

The Senate RINO’s are threatening to obstruct President Trump’s midterm agenda. GOP Strategist Caroline Wren set the record state on Bannon’s War Room.

Caroline Wren: Over the last 72 hours, like these, the only people that were lobbying for a Cornyn endorsement were other GOP senators. And in the last 72 hours, the GOP senators had come out against President Trump on several things.

They told him:

** We’re not passing the Save America Act
** We’re not going to nuke the filibuster
** We’re not going to fund (security) for your ballroom
** The weaponization fund’s a bad idea
** W’re not going to fire the parliamentarian.

Even yesterday morning, I think around like 10:30 or 11, Thune was asked about the, the weaponization fund, and, and he attacked President Trump and said this is a bad idea. Where if you’re Thune, the smarter thing to say — you should have said, ‘that’s a decision for the executive branch, I’m focused on the legislative,’ You know, legislative agenda and getting this passed.

Instead, he went out of his way to attack Trump. And that’s why, you know what, Trump I think just said screw you guys. Like, I’ve asked you for several things over the last, you know, even week, months, you haven’t gotten any of it done. And now every story, you know, see today is how, oh, the Senate Republicans are going to obstruct President Trump’s midterm agenda now because they’re angry at him.

I’m like, okay, what are they going to do? Not pass the Save America Act? Not do recess appointments? Not nuke the filibuster? Not fund the ballroom?

Not fire the parliamentarian? Because spoiler alert, they’ve already done that! So I don’t really know the agenda that they are now going to block that they weren’t already blocking.
