I like how his gravied brain got him confused with the guy who died in the car with Princess Diana 29 years ago but now he has to retcon that with some fake explanation and the press has to just pretend like this is normal racism and not Alzheimer's racism.

The federal government is going after Ilhan Omar only because of her race, gender, religion, and party, openly admitting they have no probable cause and aim to manufacture something. Worse because she’s a sitting member of Congress. That makes it an attack on her constituents and US democracy too.
