Perhaps she is receiving business advice from Hunter Biden. What a tangled web she and her husband have weaved.

Non-Government Organizations, funded by USAID and many other gov't agencies, kick back millions of dollars to the Demonrat politicians who fund them with your tax dollars.

She's a crook. She's probably funded by the Muslim Brotherhood (who oversees and funds Islamic terrorism).

Just corrupt and inevitably nation-hating leftist politicians being true to their own nature.

I've noticed that nary a single leftist has commented on this blatant example of 'in your face America!' leftist corruption.

Like everything else it's okay when my side does it but when your side does it it's a constitutional crisis

Indeed. The thing about conservatives is that they are against criminal activities even when a -- supposed -- conservative gets caught breaking the law.

They might stop to point out the hypocrisy of pouncing leftists, but still they condemn the crime and are content to let (impartial) justice take its course. To the political Left's collective, however, leftists really and truly are supposed to be above and beyond the reach of the law.

Y'all seem really mad that her venture capitalist husband who also owns a winery had capitalism work out for them.

Why are you mad the system you claim to live worked for them?

Or is it you're mad because she's a woman of color who made more money than you?

So her husband makes money selling death which is what alcohol is and I thought Muslims were anti alcohol I guess it's okay when they're helping other people get hooked on a drug and die while making money off of it as for her being a woman of color when you have nothing else to argue you go straight for the racism angle easy pickings huh? And then as for her husband I thought he was really her brother I guess if you can't keep it in your pants you might as well keep it in the family?

Did you ever wonder what life would be like if you took 5 minutes to verify things rather than just parting nonsense?

Her personal finances are publicly disclosed so you can find out.

Just because they're publicly disclosed doesn't mean there wasn't shady shenanigans and backroom deals

Oh, like how when she travels she stays at hotels she owns and charges her tax-payer funded security service double the going rate?

Like that?

EXACTLY!! She's an American hating subversive ISIS plant and doesn't deserve any of the money she has hidden under her hijab, has nothing to do with her sex or color. If she hates this country that much she should give it all back and go home to Somolia.

So... would you say that any politician who does something like to line their pockets needs to be removed from office?

Republicans are the only people who do face consequenses from thier own party when improprieties do occur and so I'd say yes, everyone in congress should be held to a higher standard. But in general the only standards democrats have are that they feel the law shouldn't apply to them, they get reinforced in that idea by thier own party then excused by the press who only care when a republican has done something wrong.

Republicans are the only ones who face consequences? You should alert Bob Menendez, because the former Democrat Senator is currently sitting his ass in prison for corruption.

And I am glad we can agree that a politician who uses their position to enrich themselves need to be removed from office.

It is at this point I need to admit that I lied about Rep. Omar; she doesn't own hotels, if she has a security detail it's not paid for by the tax-payer, and she doesn't charge them more. That is, in fact, Trump. He requires his security detail to stay at his hotels. He charges them more than double the rate anyone else is charged. He makes millions of of his golf trips.

So... still feel the same about that or now that you know it's really Trump is it, "um, well, uhhh, you see, okay, the thing is...."

Cause I bet it's the 2nd one.
