Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend that she was “glad” a special counsel was appointed over the discovery of President Biden’s classified documents.
“I am glad that there is a special prosecutor that has been appointed to this,” she said. Sanders-Townsend followed up and asked why.
Omar said any kind of potential breach in security protocol should be taken seriously and argued Republicans were only interested in investigating Biden and not former President Trump.
“Yes because anytime there is a deviance in regards to security protocols, that should be taken serious, it should be investigated,” Omar said. “So you have to understand right? Republicans are not really interested in upholding the law, and following security protocols. What they’re interested in is playing political game and now only wanting to investigate Biden.”
