The Hit Squad: Some Of Ocasio-Cortez's Crew Wanted To 'Deport' Their Political Enemies

Yes, we can pop champagne over yesterday’s back-to-back hearings with ex-Special Counsel Robert Mueller. It was arguably one of the best days of the Trump presidency. The Russian collusion circus produced by the Democrats and marketed by their allies in the media got torched…by Mueller. The former FBI director seemed aloof, with many wondering if he even ran the investigation. He was unable to remember parts of his report. He was ‘Uncle Junior’ from The Sopranos. So, while the Russian collusion myth dies, though the Left will put it on life support, let’s circle back to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and the Leninist Girl Scout Troop from hell. 

They got a huge profile boost when President Trump tweeted at them this month, accusing them of hating the country and said that they could leave:

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

This sparked another ‘Trump is a racist’ meltdown from liberals. Of course, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley all ate it up, declaring they’re not going anywhere etc., but it also forced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to embrace this far-left crew after months of trying to create a buffer zone. She knows their policies are way out there in outer space. They’ve peddled anti-Semitic tropes and defended each other in the process. Tlaib and Omar have defended the vicious anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement as akin to the Boston Tea Party and protesting Nazi Germany. Granted, three of the four women were born in America, but while they were trying to weaponize the president’s remarks against him, and failed miserably in doing so, let’s not forget some of these ladies wanted to deport Americans they disagreed with politically as well. Yes, Trump was one of them. Well, isn’t that interesting. Also, hell will freeze over before they’re asked or pressed about it. Count on that (via Newsweek):

 Omar, who was born in Somalia, tweeted, "we are citizens & can't be deported, why don't we deport you to where ever you came from," on October 5, 2012, in a thread about a Maine mayor saying a growing Somali population should leave their culture at the door.

It is not clear who the Twitter user Omar was replying directly to is because the account is private and does not reveal anything except a name. Omar made her comment after several other replies expressing her opinion on whether immigrants should preserve their culture or embrace the ways of their new country.

EVIDENCE: @IlhanMN told an opponent 'why don't we deport you to where ever you came from' in 2012!!" tweeted former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who unearthed Omar's old tweet. "You can't make this stuff up! Retweet so her duplicity is exposed for all to see!"

[…]

Hikind on Tuesday also unearthed a December 7, 2015, tweet by Tlaib in which she shared a story about Trump calling for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. and commented, "Deport this a**hole!"

"So Rashida can call for deporting then candidate Trump, but there's total outrage when the sentiment is returned?!" Hikind remarked. "How does this 'standard' work? #DemDuplicity"

It’s a day then ends in “y,” which means that we have another episode of two separate rules.
