Minnesota State Rep. Steve Drazkowski recently brought out the “receipts” against Rep. Ilhan Omar amid accusations of financial impropriety. According to Drazkowski, Omar has committed numerous crimes, including tax fraud, immigration fraud, perjury, and more, ultimately calling for her arrest.
The state Republican delivered bombshell accusations against Omar, labeling her a “serial career criminal,” while calling for United States Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) to open a congressional ethics investigation. “I’m also asking Congresswoman Craig to initiate an ethics investigation into Congresswoman Omar because of questions about federal tax fraud, federal immigration fraud, federal student loan fraud and state violations of perjury, bigamy, kickbacks,” he said.
Drazkowski further claimed Omar had committed “acts of campaign fraud abuse in Boston, Washington, New York, Chicago and Florida.” He added that “there are also violations of state ethics or of the Minnesota House ethics rules regarding colleges for speeches she gave while she was in partial control of their budgets as a member of the house fire, Education Finance Committee in both 2017 and 2018 she was found guilty of the violations by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board three weeks ago in order to return those funds on June 6, Ms Omar appears to be a serial career criminal and should not have access to our nation’s highest secrets and intelligence.”
Calling for the ethics investigation, he continued, “That is why I’m calling on our Congresswoman, Angie Craig, to protect both our national security and our respect of the rule of law, tax fraud, immigration fraud, student loan fraud, perjury, bigamy, kickbacks and campaign abuse fraud from the East Coast to the Mississippi River. If those charges have been brought against Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, the Star Tribune would not have said on Sunday that she was attempting to quote skirt the law and then follow it up with a front page story the next day on a pie in the sky proposal that had zero chances of becoming law.”
“Minnesota deserves better. America demands more. I’m presenting you with a copy of my letter and just a sampling of the materials available to you on these topics, and we’ll take your questions,” the state representative noted. The clip of Drazkowski’s speech has gone viral on social media sparking conservative commentary.
Prominent commentator Real Robert shared the clip, writing,”And this is, Minnesota, Republican State Representative Steve Drazkowski and has the RECEIPTS: affidavits, eviction notices, documents… Demanding for the arrest of Ilhan Omar for the crimes of federal tax fraud, federal immigration fraud, federal student loan fraud, and state violations of perjury, bigamy, incest, kickbacks and acts of campaign fraud abuse from east coast to the Mississippi River, Boston, Washington, New York, Chicago and Florida.”
Another person called out the apparent legal double standard imposed on Republicans. “Can you imagine how quickly you or I would be arrested if we faced even a fraction of these allegations? In an instant—without hesitation. This blatant double standard is exactly why so many people have lost faith in our justice system,” the comment read.
