VERY TELLING: Ilhan Omar Applauds Republicans for Blocking Save Act – “We Do Have, Fortunately, Partners in the Senate”

Representative Ilhan Omar expressed gratitude towards Republican Senators for opposing the SAVE Act, stating they have “partners in the Senate” who are advocating against its passage. Omar believes the SAVE Act is designed to disenfranchise voters, which the article interprets as targeting illegal and phony mail-in voters. The article highlights that key Republicans, like John Thune, have resisted efforts to pass the SAVE Act before the August recess, potentially preventing voter ID and proof of citizenship requirements for upcoming elections.

• Rep. Ilhan Omar thanked Republican Senators for opposing the SAVE Act.
• Omar believes the SAVE Act would disenfranchise voters, which the article claims refers to illegal and phony mail-in voters.
• She identified Senate Majority Leader John Thune as one of her “partners” in blocking the legislation.
• More than 20 Republicans called for canceling recess until the SAVE Act passes, but Thune refused.
• Thune stated postponing recess is not in anyone’s best interest.
• The Senate is set to vote on a reconciliation package, and without the SAVE Act, voter ID and proof of citizenship requirements may not be implemented for the midterm elections before the August recess.
