Barack Obama’s Defense of Ilhan Omar BACKFIRES Spectacularly as Past Comes Roaring Back

On Sunday morning, former President Barack Obama decided to give American his opinion on the recent raid on Somalia-born Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s D.C. home.

As you most likely already know, Rep. Omar’s residence was raided by federal agents in the early morning hours last Monday as part of an ongoing DOJ investigation into allegations of immigration fraud.

In a post on X, Obama claimed that the whole thing is a politically-motivated witch hunt against Rep. Ilhan Omar by the Trump administration.

Read what he had to say for yourself:

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

To understand…

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.

Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.

Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.

Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.

In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.

The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Hypocrite much?

Keep in mind this is the same Obama who spied on President Trump’s first presidential campaign and played a big role in the Russia collusion hoax!

I guess it’s okay when Democrats go after their enemies for no other reason than political differences, but it’s wrong when Republicans do it — which, by the way, isn’t even what’s happening here.

The investigation into Ilhan Omar actually began under the Biden administration.

But, it was closed until the Trump administration re-opened it.

After seizing Ilhan Omar’s sister’s cell phone, federal agents discovering damning text messages between their family members.

So, they got a Democrat federal judge to authorize last week’s raid on Omar’s home.

Still, the irony of Barack Obama criticizing the Trump DOJ for so-called “political persecution” is not lost on the American people.

Many patriots took to X to hit back at Obama’s claims.

Take a look at some of these on-point responses:

@BarackObama You and your friends arrested a US President 4 times while he was running for re-election.

Maybe sit this one out.

@BarackObama Where was this energy when Mar-a-Lago was raided?

Maybe your house should be raided next.

@BarackObama Barack Hussein Obama ORDERED the CIA and FBI make up evidence to target President Trump as “Russian agent”

You should be rotting in a jail cell not making pathetic posts defending a criminal illegal alien. https://t.co/YH1Dhmr3px
