Tom Emmer, the man claiming Ilhan Omar is doing a very dirty deed by saying she’s fighting for Somalia, is a major recipient of funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
AIPAC is an Israeli lobbying group that demands that American politicians act in the explicit interests of Israel before those of the United States.
AIPAC literally group pays politicians to promote an Israel-first agenda.
Ilhan Omar’s appalling, Somalia-first comments are a slap in the face to the Minnesotans she was elected to serve and a direct violation of her oath of office. She should resign in disgrace.https://t.co/O3lAEGlokt

On opensecrets.org, we see that AIPAC was the biggest donor for the 2023-2024 campaign year of the Minnesota Congressman.
Emmer is calling for an ethics investigation into Omar. Following this logic, every Congressman who receives money from AIPAC should be subject to an ethics investigation.
