JD Vance accused Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of having “definitely committed immigration fraud” and said that he’d recently spoken with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about how best to “go after her.”
Speaking on a podcast hosted by MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on Friday, Vance was asked about claims that Omar had defrauded the United States by marrying her brother to secure his legal residency.
The unsubstantiated claim has circulated in MAGA circles for years but has been denied by Omar multiple times. The congresswoman was born in Somalia but moved to Minneapolis with her family in 1997, fleeing the civil war.
My ex is short, five feet tall. First she married me, I’m 6’1". The guy she married after me is 6’5". She’s not an insecure person at all, just prefers her men to be large, for, umm, reasons. I’m guessing husband 2 is larger in many ways than I am, given that he wears size 15 shoes and can easily palm a basketball. Regardless, they’re obviously happy with each other, as I am with my current wife, who’s of average height.
Size differences between partners can also be driven by insecurity in the larger one. That’s not true in my case, since I’ve enjoyed partners of widely differing heights, a couple of them even taller than me. But I’ve seen plenty of that with (for example) weebs. And of course there’s the myth that Asian women (south or east) are docile and servile. That has not been my experience at all. But I prefer women with strong personalities, so it might be a self-selected sample.
There’s plenty of tone-consiousness embedded in Indian culture, and there’s also the colonial cringe in many cases: the notion that those who resemble the former imperial masters are of higher status than the locals.
I suspect in the Vance case that he presented himself in one way before they got married, then did a sociopathic pivot afterward. And for whatever reason, Usha has kept quiet about it. It’s very hard to tell what goes on inside other people’s relationships.
