Dirty arse RINO is now trying to hide his involvement. He's the majority whip in the United States House of Representatives

quote:

U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer said Somalis are “some of the fastest-assimilating populations” during a 2015 town hall meeting in St. Cloud.

The Minnesota Republican’s comment came in response to a question about assimilation, according to audio aired during an episode of This American Life. The congressman likened the Somali experience to that of German, Polish and Chinese immigrants.

That same year, Emmer founded the Congressional Somalia Caucus with Keith Ellison, at the time a Democratic U.S. representative from Minnesota. (He is now the state’s attorney general). A press release on the initiative is no longer on Emmer’s website but is archived online.

Earlier this month, the House Majority Whip falsely accused Somalis of committing 80% of the crimes in the Twin Cities and Minnesota during an appearance on Fox Business. The appearance came as the Trump administration ramped up immigration enforcement against Twin Cities Somalis.

quote:

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) called for the deportation of all Somalis linked to fraud in Minnesota, amid heightened scrutiny of the state’s handling of the illegal activity.

I said the other day that he’s a moron acting like he didn’t know what was going on in his state. Not surprised at all this coming out.

That was in fact in 2015 so 11 years ago. Tampon Timmy didn't get into office until 2018/Jan 2019 so perhaps that grift started then.

I'm no Somali apologist either fwiw.

If fastest assimilating for them means getting on board with fraud and corruption quickly then yes, they are the fastest assimilating.

It’s been found that Congress knew this fraud in Minnesota was happening 15 years ago. Walz just took it to another level.

I think so.

Trump publicly opposed Rep. Tom Emmer's bid for House Speaker, calling him a "Globalist RINO" and effectively undermining his chances for the position.

Emmer was for the fraud before he was against it.
