  1. CBS.. is selling out.
    Omar is using race to divide us Americans. Here is the real fight for all of us Americans. It is not Republican or Democrat so much as this…

    Remember when Obama & Biden would not recognize Isis as “Radical Islamic Terrorist” called them Iseel. Recently Biden comes out publicly right before the election in support of Muslim’s and teaching Muslim beliefs in our schools? (Don’t believe me search it on YouTube for the video).

    Now this.. BLM, Antifa, Cortez and Omar are all funded by the Islamic Brotherhood! It is not about race, it is about taking of America and converting us to ISLAM! Wake up America..

  2. She married her brother and then gave him $800,000 of tax payer money. Then claims white men are terrorist while having an affair with one. I bet her husband/brother was heart broken.

  3. After a careful medical study of the democratic party, it has been found that there are not even two brain cells to rub together. This brainless condition may explain the insanity that prevails both in the Whitehouse as well as on Capital Hill.

    Donald Trump has announced that he will be gifting each member of the democratic party a human brain. With this kind gesture it is hoped that the democrats will finally be able to make sound decisions regarding the safety, security, and prosperity of the United States and its legal citizens.

    Psychiatrists, brain surgeons, neurologists and psychologists will be on hand to assist the democrats in how to effectively use their new brains. Special attention will be given to the squad and Nancy Pelosi, since they in particular have proven to suffer from mental illness.
