    Huh. FDR and Eleanor were cousins; got married; had kids; and lived in NY. But maybe the law was passed after that time.

    It was a blueblood tradition that people from that class married their cousins, to keep the blood "pure." Yeah, I know.....

    I think it would basically boil down to immigration fraud; and perhaps tax fraud.

    And all of the Tony Brothers are married to each other.



    But Omar's days are numbered, the GOP is ready to take that seat back.

    What the video doesn't show:

    "They then talked about racism and the risein hate crimes, specifically those targeting Muslim people, in the U.S. On this topic, Hasan asked, “A lot of conservatives in particular would say that the rise in Islamophobia is the result not of hate, but of fear. And legitimate fear, they say, of quote-unquote ‘jihadist terrorism’ — whether it’s Fort Hood, or San Bernardino, or the recent truck attack in New York. What do you say to them?”

    Omar replied, “I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country, because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. And so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.”

    The phrase “if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country,” which was removed from the edited video, is key because it makes clear her comment is rhetorical and not an assertion that white man as a general group should be the targets of fear and monitoring.

    Nice selective edit that cuts out the part where she was explaining how the hypothetical that you are so upset about is dumb.

    It's like you coming and saying that all Muslims are bad because the Quran has violent text and then me coming in and saying that the Bible has violent text and telling how ridiculous it sounds to judge every Christian as violent and then you editing out the context and just leaving the part that says "all Christians are violent" and then spamming that all over social media calling me a anti-Christian bigot.

    Is that why you chose to post an edited video that mischaracterized her interview?

    Nice damage control. Nope, the full video clip is not any less damning. She is a horrible human being who thrives on hate.

    Do you understand the point she was making? It is much more likely that a white male will perform a terroristic act in the USA than a Muslim.
