Barack Obama: “I'm running to make sure that nobody in America should go broke just because they get sick.”

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 effort, he said, “should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views.”

Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen.

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.
