# NYT Elites Circle the Wagons Around Ilhan Omar: Defending the Un-Defendable While Trump Calls for Deportation
In a classic case of media tribalism, New York Times reporters have leaped to the defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after President Donald Trump suggested she should be deported for alleged immigration fraud tied to her marriage history. The source text paints a picture of outraged journalists shielding their ideological ally, framing Trump’s critique as beyond the pale. But let’s peel back the layers: Omar’s record isn’t just controversial—it’s a ticking bomb for 2A supporters. This isn’t mere political theater; it’s a stark reminder of how anti-gun radicals like Omar wield power in Congress, consistently voting against our rights while the establishment press acts as her personal bodyguard.
Context matters here. Omar has been a relentless foe of the Second Amendment, co-sponsoring bills like the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021 and pushing for universal background checks that erode constitutional carry gains. Trump’s deportation jab—rooted in substantiated questions about her 2009 marriage to a legal immigrant for green card purposes (later admitted as a dependency arrangement)—highlights the hypocrisy of unelected media gatekeepers policing patriotism. The NYT crew’s defense isn’t journalism; it’s activism, ignoring Omar’s own evasions under oath and her Squad comrades’ shared disdain for gun owners. For the 2A community, this episode underscores a deeper threat: politicians with questionable loyalty to American values are fast-tracking disarmament agendas, from red-flag laws to ATF overreach, all while shielded by a complicit press.
The implications are crystal clear for gun rights advocates—wake up to the long game. If figures like Omar, with her history of 9/11 minimization (some people did something) and anti-Israel rhetoric, can skate by on immigration technicalities, expect zero accountability for their assaults on our liberties. Trump’s unfiltered call-out is a rallying cry: in 2024 and beyond, 2A warriors must amplify these stories, support pro-gun candidates who prioritize vetting over virtue-signaling, and demand transparency. The NYT’s outrage only proves they’re afraid of the truth—Omar’s tenure is a vulnerability we can exploit to protect our rights. Stay vigilant, patriots; the fight for the Second Amendment demands it.
