How did anyone not know that Ilhan Omar was married to her own brother for a while?
Of note, Omar married UK citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who has been identified as her brother. The two divorced in 2017, after which Omar married Hirsi again in 2018.
The split with Omar may come at a great time for Hirsi, as his wife is currently the subject of much speculation. According to the Congressional complaint filed against her by Judicial Watch , " Substantial, compelling and, to date, unrefuted evidence has been uncovered that Rep. Ilhan Omar may have committed the following crimes in violation of both federal law and Minnesota state law: perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, state and federal tax fraud, and federal student loan fraud. "
“The evidence is overwhelming Rep. Omar may have violated the law and House rules. The House of Representatives must urgently investigate and resolve the serious allegations of wrongdoing by Rep. Omar,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “We encourage Americans to share their views on Rep. Omar’s apparent misconduct with their congressmen.”
She was in a refugee camp in Kenya before coming to the US as a refugee using an unrelated Somalian family’s name who already lived here - Omar is not her real last name or even related to her at all - huge problem with refugees here bringing in people of no relation as family.
She’s just stupid and arrogant enough to think this’ll retroactively alleviate her legal problems. “Ok, issue gone. No more brother or husband. All good now.”
This whole thing is an admission of guilt on her part knowing that Judicial Watch has the goods on her to bring about a case and so she is trying everything to distance herself from her past! In other words she is getting desperate!
