Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota claimed that President Donald Trump's true aim with the surge in Minnesota had to do with rigging elections, and Vice President JD Vance issued a brutal rebuke.
Omar said that Trump was trying to gain possession of voter rolls in order to rig the upcoming midterm election that could stall the president's agenda for the rest of his term.
"'ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls' tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections," Omar posted on social media.
She was referring to reports that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi had included in her demands from the state the requirement that they hand over voter rolls. Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon responded on Sunday with an unequivocal "no."
