Barack Obama: “It's essential that we build an economy where everyone gets a fair shot.”

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.

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.

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