Barack Obama: “I want to just assure all of us that we are going to get to bottom of exactly what happened.”

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.

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.

I’m going to insist that we can do better than we’re doing right now.

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.
