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.
And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.
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 decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.
