“Ilhan Omar is an absentee landlord in her home state and residents aren’t happy,” continued Kelley.

The 2020 is “going to be a totally different animal,” continued Chris Kelley, “you’re going to have a lot of people coming out, and I think we have an excellent chance of coming out on top.”

He tweeted that the actions of the two Democratic representatives are putting officers in danger by “weaponizing citizen safety for political reasons.”
