House Majority Whip Tom Emmer Calls For Ethics Probe Into Admitted Foreign Agent Ilhan "Omar" Nur

Telling a crowd of foreigners that your mission is to bully America into obeying a shithole country's lead feels a little insurrectiony to me.

Top Republican Tom Emmer calls for Ethics Committee investigation into Squad's Ilhan Omar following her controversial 'Somalia first' declaration that sparked outrage and demands she resign from Congress
'Sleep in comfort knowing I am here to protect the interest of Somalia from inside the U.S. system,' Omar said according to a disputed translation
Emmer said Ethics should probe Omar for House rule: 'A Member of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect credibly on the House'
By Morgan Phillips

A top Republican is demanding the Ethics Committee probe Rep. Ilhan Omar over a speech where the Squad progressive allegedly declared she is 'Somalia first.'
According to one translation of a now-viral clip of remarks Omar made in Somalian, she said her allegiances lie with Somalia over the U.S.
'We are an organized society, brothers and sisters, people of the same blood, people who know they are Somalis first, Muslims second, who protect one another,' Omar said, according to a widely circulated translation of a clip.
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.'
Omar claims that translation is not accurate and that 'propagandists' are twisting her words.

'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.

26 @mtg: 🚨 BREAKING: I just introduced a resolution to censure Ilhan Omar for her treasonous statements

Treasonous statements? Would calling for a “national divorce” qualify? what about her boss trying to overthrow the legitimate gvt of usa and not leaving the white house when he had to because prez biden was incoming.? take that lady.

Confederate Klanswoman said wut? “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” Greene, R-Ga., said in the tweet. “Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”

They're lying about what Omar said! Republicans smeared Ilhan Omar over a faulty translation! Here’s what she really said: http://tinyurl.com/bddpxezs Link to MinnesotaReformer, which doesn't actually refute the core allegations.

Serving as a foreign agent isn't treason unless we're officially at war with the foreign country. Why am I not surprised that she doesn't have the first clue?

40 She broke her oath.

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

That's why she should be deported - she violated the citizenship oath.

The fact that she entered the United States under a fake name, and committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother are secondary.

Not really. The standard for high crimes and misdeameanors applies to impeachment, not expulsion or punishment by Ethics cmte and whole house. Each House has its own constitutional powers to set up rules for members without outside judicial interference.

Expulsion requires a 2/3rds majority btw and violating your oath of office is one of the grounds for being expelled (see Civil War era precedents).

I put the odds on this "demand" being met at 50%. It depends on the need for theatrics.

If it is met, I put the odds of her being found guilty at 10%.

If she is found guilty, I find the odds of her being removed from committees (if she's on any) at maybe 25%.

If she is found guilty and removed from committees, I put her odds of removal from the chamber at 0%.

84 FWIW, the First Amendment has never actually barred prosecution or punishment for ANY speech. Speech limits, including of political speech are under the strict scrutiny std. Any government regulation/law must have a compelling interest (in this case to have government officials act in AMERICAN best interests, not a foreign country) and then the regulation must be narrowly tailored so as to make clear what is protected speech and what is not. Pretty clear that the oath of office makes clear what is required by a House member and what is not and that is narrowly tailored as to allow the House to use the due process of the Ethics and floor vote on expulsion to remove a member for violating it. That 2/3 majority and process would also ensure that sufficient evidence would be required to make a bipartisan 2/3 vote possible as to meet the requirement of the government required to bear the burden of proof in charges.

95 "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"

It's pretty evident that if what Omar said is true, there is no going back. She obviously takes a different oath to a foreign nation. It is not a reformable position. There is no rehabilitation. At a minimum, she's to be expelled from Congress and forbidden from other US political office. More deservedly, she should be deported.

What's the point in demanding an ethics investigation if all you want is for her to "start[] taking her oath of office and commitment ... seriously"? Good grief.

Essentially, the Right is in the position that Lincoln was in at the start of the Civil War. Lincoln's reasoning was that the Democratic Confederates were violating all of the provisions of the Constitutional government formed by We The People--he violated constitutional provisions such as raising an army, declaring a blockade, suspending habeas corpus, etc. by not calling Congress in to approve the deal.

No less than Scotus allowed these actions and Congress later approved Lincoln's actions via legislation.

If someone went on stage and said "I've killed 30 people" police would start an investigation in to their actions, and if proven true they'd be charged.

She's admitting to possibly criminal acts, first amendment rights don't limit authorities to investigate what's said and see if there's truth to it. She's taken votes that would line up with what she's saying, which means her words are an admission of guilt to crimes that she committed while a congressman.

The majority has all the rights to investigate what she said.

242 I don't think Somalis in general are stupid. Just the opposite. I think they're intelligent. The problem is they are overwhelmingly crude, brutal, violent, and respect only power and crushing force. Their own warlords treat them worse than they treat outsiders.

For the average rank-and-file, their lives are such total shit that they will do ANYTHING for money or to try to break out. Hence their affinity for slaving, piracy, animal poaching, and drugs and crime. They are heartless, pitiless reavers and raiders. But that doesn't make them dumb.

300 Piss poor analogy. Murder is a crime. Opinion (regardless of how stupid or divisive) is not. She didn't violate the oath of office with those comments. You and I might not agree with them...but she has every right to say them. I keep seeing responses suggesting that the right should be vindictive and apply retribution on comments with which we disagree. In short, it would seem a multitude of posters here are NOT advocates for free speech. Instead, they are perfectly willing to move beyond that inalienable right in the name of "an eye for an eye." Pretty weak IMO

Your knowledge of constitutional law and the rules of Congress are pretty weak as people have pointed out to you. Proclaiming in public that you are a foreign agent is definitely violating your oath of office.

So before leaving AOS in high dudgeon, accept that you are engaging in rhetoric of absolutes instead of dialectic argument that actually engages your critics.

Historically the First Amendment has NEVER been interpreted your way--obscenity, slander, even seditious libel have all been example of criminal speech along with inciting an immediate breach of the peace with mere words.

301 Every time I hear that march fron "Lohengrin"
I am always on the outside, looking in
Maybe that is why I see the sunny side
When I see a fallen brother take a bride

Another bride, another groom
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason, for making whoopee.

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
It's really killing, that he's so willing
To make whoopee.

310 The ex-Mrs. Wolfus No. 2 and I had "What Are We Doin' in Love" by Dottie West and Kenny Rogers as "our" song. I don't recall if we had it played at our wedding. I know she wanted "Lara's Theme" from Dr. Zhivago, and we were trying to find (get this) the Ray Conniff Singers album with that on it.

Wife enjoys T Swift, therefore I know a few T Swift songs. There's simply no explanation for her massive popularity. Other than her highly popularized romances.

In a similar genre, Adele should be much more popular but her albums about heartbreak are about random dudes and not John Mayer.

He's so ambitious, he even sews
But don't forget folks, that's what you get, folks
For makin' whoopee.

Another year, or maybe less
What's this I hear? Or, can't you guess?
She feels neglected, and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee.

She sits alone most every night
He doesn't phone, or even write
He says he's busy, but she says, "Is he?
He's makin' whoopee."

He doesn't make much money---five thousand dollars per
Some judge, who thinks he's funny, says, "You'll pay six to her."
He says, "Now, judge, suppose I fail?" The judge says,
"Bud, you'll go to jail; you'd better keep her---you'll find it's cheaper than makin' whoopee."
