A little over a year ago, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar had some harsh words for President Joe Biden with regard to the prospect of ongoing border wall construction:
It’s shameful and unacceptable for @POTUS to continue the construction of Trump’s xenophobic and racist wall.
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) April 7, 2021
Well, in the time since she sent that tweet, it appears that she’s taken some time to consider the border crisis further, and she’s come to the conclusion that the Biden administration is actually doing a pretty good job, all things considered.
So, when Omar saw this RNC tweet about methamphetamine seized at our southern border last month:
11,007 pounds of methamphetamine was seized at the southern border in April alone!

She valiantly came to the Biden administration’s defense:
These updates are a helpful reminder of the work the administration is doing and how your fear campaign of inaction at the border isn’t holding any water.
Thank you for your participation. https://t.co/ot78v6Ewfy

“Your fear campaign of inaction at the border isn’t holding any water.”
Well, we won’t dispute that it’s a good thing that U.S. law enforcement is curbing the flow of meth over the United States’ southern border (we’re not clear on which direction it’s flowing), but it seems a bit, um, premature to suggest that the Biden administration is taking decisive action at the border.
Like, this doesn’t exactly make sound like Joe Biden et al. are all that interested in mitigating the border crisis:
- ‘UNBELIEVABLE’: While the Biden admin worries about securing Ukraine’s border, Bill Melugin shares latest numbers from US southern border
- Jen Psaki makes it clear that people who enter the US illegally are ‘free to travel’ after crossing the border
- Guy Benson was at the border this week and has thoughts about DHS chief’s ‘effectively managed’ claim
And there’s lots more where that came from.
It really is a sh*t post. It’s just plain bad.
These updates are a helpful reminder that democrat policies are enabling this in the first place you twit.. https://t.co/adzqo03WSv

There’s no such thing as Democrats getting their butts kicked too hard in November.
