Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is taking heat for sharing an article calling for the G.I. Bill -- legislation that pays for American service members' higher education -- to apply to all U.S. citizens.

"Imagine what it would do for our country and those who live here if we were to take the ethos behind the original G.I. Bill and apply it to everybody—canceling all student debt and making public colleges, universities, and vocational schools tuition-free,"

It's an exchange - free tuition for the potential of going to some shithole to die

Can somebody name a few congressmen that are Republicans that are this incompetent/stupid? Who are their counterparts on the Republican side?

You would think Nancy would, by any means possible, have these kids shut up somehow.

Looks like she doesn’t just want it for citizen like the original quote. She wants it for everyone in the country.

Going back to Somalia to visit family does NOT count as US military service.

Oh, I'm imagining it alright.

What a dumb bitch. What it would do is destroy the rates of enlistment for our military. For a lot of people the GI Bill is the primary reason they join the military in the first place.

This woman is a fricking usurper and I cannot wait for the day to see this bitch brought to justice.

Uh, it's not free.

They take money out of our pay when we sign up for it.
