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.
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.
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.
And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.
