Rep. Brandon "Jethro" Gill (KKK-Tex-Ass) tweeted that America would be better if Rep. Ilhan Omar were to be deported. However, when confronted about it, Gill showed that he was just another cowardly bully:
CNN Host: Um, you said that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, U.S. citizen, should be deported to her home country of Somalia. Omar became a naturalized citizen at 17. Why did you do that?
GILL: Well, listen, my colleague Ilhan Omar, she is an American citizen. Uh, she is a member of the House of Representatives. I didn't call for her to be deported, but I did say that America would be better off were she deported. I think that there is a serious problem, particularly given after the past four years of open borders of Democrats facilitating the invasion of our country by illegal aliens. My colleague Ilhan Omar was advising illegal alien Somalis on how to evade ICE detection. That is as un-American as you can possibly get. It's unbecoming of a Congress person.
CNN HOST: What evidence, where are you getting that from specifically? Where are you getting that from specifically?
GILL: We, we have the audio of her doing that. It was in an interview.
CNN HOST: But do you think that she is a duly, she is a duly elected member of Congress.
GILL: Her constituents put her in office and customs of America, not to represent foreign illegal aliens who shouldn't be here to begin with. And I think that that is, I think that that raises serious questions,
CNN HOST: Helping people understand what the laws are.
GILL: But listen, um, raises serious to whom is she most loyal, illegal aliens, Somalis or American citizens?
CNN HOST: Representing her constituents as a member of Congress. Um, Congressman Brandon Gill. I really appreciate your time. I appreciate this conversation. I think it's really important and I think our viewers appreciate it as well.
GILL: Thank you so much.
Well, Gill did try to backpedal from his racist tweet and sound more like a rational, semi-lucid human. However, that charade lasted only about a minute before his inner Klansman came out. That was evidenced when he took an us vs them approach, demanding that Omar choose between his idea of Americans or Somalis. He became so overcome with his irrational hatred and fear of Black people that he started stepping on the host when she was trying to make a point.
Furthermore, while they don't play the supposed audio that caused Gill to have his undies in a bundle, it's more than likely that Omar was simply telling people their rights and explaining the laws to them. Right wingers really have a hard time with treating people, but especially Black and Brown people, with respect.
I've heard people say half-seriously that we should just take places like Texas, who wants to secede anyway, and give it back to Mexico. But I'm afraid that if we did that, Mexico would just turn around and deport Gill's sorry ass back to the United States.
