As Twitter argues over the “Send her back!” chant directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar at last night’s MAGA rally, here’s a reminder that it was totally OK with Dems when they were asking for Sebastian Gorka’s immigration records (Editor’s note: Gorka is a radio host for Twitchy’s parent company, Salem Media):
You and Sen. Dick Durbin formally demanded @SebGorka’s immigration papers from DHS and the White House so you could find a way to deport him, despite the fact that he’s an American citizen. Stop pretending your interest here is anything but partisan. https://t.co/0Rs61z7d5B

We don’t remember any outrage either:
When Dick Durbin and Jerry Nadler began a formal citizenship inquiry to threaten Seb Gorka for his political views, I have to be honest that I don't remember the Twitter brigades freaking out about it. The great @davidharsanyi looked into attacks on his citizenship here. https://t.co/sTgsXUJPeq

The WaPost’s Jennifer Rubin even suggested Rep. Nadler leave an anonymous tip for ICE:
Dem rep asks White House for Sebastian Gorka's immigration papers https://t.co/KNRzZosslb subpoena it, or leave a tip for ICE, Rep. Nadler?

If “send her back” is wrong, and many conservatives are saying it’s wrong today, where was the outrage from libs over “send him back”?
Before there was "send her back," there was "send him back." Wrong now, wrong then.https://t.co/J04CpB9LaT

They even had a hashtag for it, #DeportGorka:
Any doubters should check out #deportgorka, most recently hurled at @SebGorka in response to last Thursday's heated exchange in front of the White House.
