Project Veritas published a video on Monday, allegedly claiming ballot harvesting in Minneapolis. One of the individuals in the video claimed that Rep. Ilhan Omar was allegedly behind the scheme, “it’s an open secret… she [Ilhan Omar] will do anything that she can do to get elected and she has hundreds of people on the streets doing that.”
On Tuesday President Trump reacted to the news highlighting the danger of mail-in ballots. “This is totally illegal,” tweeted Trump. “Hope that the U.S. Attorney in Minnesota has this, and other of her many misdeeds, under serious review??? If not, why not???”
This is totally illegal. Hope that the U.S. Attorney in Minnesota has this, and other of her many misdeeds, under serious review??? If not, why not??? We will win Minnesota because of her, and law enforcement. Saved Minneapolis & Iron O Range! https://t.co/yete31P680
