    Chuck knows what she’s done and has cut ties. The writing is on the wall, she got too greedy and stole such a gigantic pile of money that not even Schumer can defend her.

    She’s been in office for eight years and is now a multi-millionaire on less than 200k a year. Fancy that. Not even Chuck can ignore that level of corruption. And that’s saying something.

      You have no idea what you’re talking about. This, “investigation,” is outwardly about fraud on her childhood immigration documents, and in reality an attempt by Trump to denaturalize a political opponent. It has nothing to do with imaginary embezzlement.

      Also, Schumer has never defended her. He’s a hard-core Zionist and she’s a critic of Israel. He’s called her antisemitic in the past for criticizing AIPAC. He and Pelosi hung her out to dry on multiple occasions; he hasn’t suddenly, “cut ties,” because of, “what she’s done.”

      Her net worth is high because she’s married to a hedge fund manager. If you think politicians and their families shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks, fair enough, but it’s (infamously) not illegal, and completely unrelated to what’s beijg done to Omar right now.

      Cool story MAGAzul but I’ll still take a greedy Omar over a genocidal Nazi Israeli pretending to be an American any day of the fucking week.
