Barack Obama Gets Nailed With a Devastating Reminder After He Gives His ‘Thoughts’ on the Ilhan Omar Raid

Former President Barack Obama has broken his silence regarding the raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) DC home earlier last week and is currently getting lit up on X with a brutal reminder.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, federal agents raided the Washington, DC-area residence of Omar early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.

The pre-dawn raid was part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, documents filled out by her late father when she was a child.

The New York Times exclusively reported on Saturday that federal officials seized the phone of Omar’s Sister, Sahra Noor, earlier this year. When they did so, they noticed that the phone contained damning family text messages.

Investigators then later used these messages to get a federal judge to authorize the raid on Omar’s home.

But Obama was not bothered by any of these facts. Instead, he posted a long screed on X, whining that Trump was targeting Omar because of her political beliefs.

LOOK:

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. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.

Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.

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. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.

Think about that. 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. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.

In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.

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. 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.

X users were quick to note a very interesting irony in Obama’s post. They reminded Obama that he not only spied on Trump’s first presidential campaign, but he also ordered the Russian Hoax to undermine his presidency.

Obama clearly has no shame or leg to stand on when it comes to scolding Trump.

@BarackObama Barack Hussein Obama ORDERED the CIA and FBI make up evidence to target President Trump as “Russian agent”

You should be rotting in a jail cell not making pathetic posts defending a criminal illegal alien. https://t.co/YH1Dhmr3px

I guess Abama forgot how his DOJ targeted Trump before he left the Presidency and how Biden targeted Trump throughout Biden’s Presidency as well. I guess Obama favors people who are now Socialists, steal money in Minnesota from taxpayers and favor a Senate candidate in Michigan whose mother-in-law belonged to the Muslin brotherhood a terrorist organization.

Barack Obama, the man who used the full weight of the intelligence agencies and Justice Department to spy on Donald Trump and push a fabricated Russia hoax in an attempt to undermine his presidency, now wants to lecture everyone about the weaponization of justice. The man is so jealous of Trump he can’t help himself.

@BarackObama Says the guy who continues to have “not so secret” meetings with the globalist EU to conspire against the Trump administration.

To see you arrested for treason would be a great day in America, thats for sure!

@BarackObama This comment is rich after you knowingly targeted Trump in 2016. As usual, you jump to a conclusion before the evidence has been presented (Trayvon Martin, Henry Louis Gates).
