URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – Ilhan Omar just handed every future primary challenger to a handful of Republican senators the perfect campaign ad, and she did it with a smile on her face.
During a Thursday town hall, Omar openly praised what she called “bipartisan” partners in the Senate who are working to kill the SAVE America Act, the legislation that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. She wasn’t subtle about it.
“One of the other things we are staying vigilant and watching out for is the President’s number one priority, which is the SAVE Act,” Omar told the crowd. “We believe that is a piece of legislation that is going to disenfranchise so many people from their ability to vote.”
The “so many people” Omar is concerned about protecting are, of course, not American citizens, because American citizens already have and can easily obtain the ID required under the bill. The people who stand to lose access to the ballot under the SAVE Act are those who have no legal right to vote in the first place. Omar knows this. Her constituents know this. And apparently, so do the Republican senators she is now publicly thanking.
“We do have, fortunately, partners in the Senate that are bipartisan that are advocating for the bill not to be passed,” Omar said, beaming.

One of those partners is Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican, theoretically, who has repeatedly refused to push the SAVE Act forward. More than 20 Republican senators have called for canceling the August recess until the legislation passes. Thune has refused. Last month, he went so far as to suggest there is no path forward for the bill, claiming that postponing recess would not be “in anybody’s best interest.”
Somebody should ask Thune whether he thinks having Ilhan Omar publicly thank him for his help is in anybody’s best interest.
The stakes here are significant. Without passing the SAVE Act, proof of citizenship and voter ID requirements will not be in place for the upcoming midterm elections. Democrats, and apparently their Republican partners, are counting on exactly that outcome.
President Trump has called the SAVE America Act his number one priority. He laid out evidence of foreign interference in American elections in a primetime address and called on Congress to act. And yet the Senate Majority Leader, a member of Trump’s own party, is standing in the way, earning the open gratitude of one of the most radical members of Congress in the process.
Republican voters put these senators in office to fight for America First, not to earn the gratitude of Ilhan Omar.
