BREAKING: Democrats Apologize to Constituents For Voting in Favor of Trump Picks, Assures Them That It Will Happen Again

She’s (a) running against Ilhan, and (b)probably counting on people not figuring out that she was an ICE prosecutor before signing up to imprison people at DOJ. Her candidacy comes with a free laugh track.
