Barack Obama: “We did not break into what we thought was a secret meeting.”

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.

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

Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.
