Ilhan Omar Gives Head-Scratching Response when Asked if She’s Related to Ex-Husband in First Interview Since DC Raid
By New York Post. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Wednesday called allegations that she married her brother “insane” – but didn’t entirely close the door to the possibility of being related to her ex-husband.
“Not to my knowledge,” Omar responded, when asked by MS NOW’s Chris Hayes if there was any “weird kernel of truth” to the claim that she wed her brother.
The decade-old allegations that Omar and her ex, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, got hitched in a failed effort to get him a green card originated on a “Somali blog,” and spread when “right-wing conspiracy theorists” latched onto it, Omar explained in her first interview since federal agents raided her Washington, DC, home last week.
“Somebody put in there that, you know, he had to have been my brother or something to that effect,” the Minnesota Democrat said.
According to Omar, bloggers “went and like found random people who are like .. ‘She introduced him to us and said he was her brother,’ which is, you know, insane.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar Gives Head-Scratching Response when Asked if She’s Related to Ex-Husband in First Interview Since DC Raid” HERE)

Ilhan Omar finally emerges after DC raid with video pleading for cash to fight Trump
By Fox News. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., re-emerged Tuesday night for the first time following a raid on her Washington, D.C., residence by posting a campaign video to her official social media channels asking supporters for more money.
“Hi everyone, Ilhan here,” Omar said in a selfie video showing her riding in the back seat of a vehicle and wearing a blue campaign shirt. “I just wanted to say thank you so much for the support, to everyone who sent a note of support, for everyone who sent $5, $10, $20.”
Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., was raided by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) last Monday in connection to an investigation into potential immigration fraud. Authorities are probing whether Omar or her father lied on paperwork that helped her gain citizenship. Border czar Tom Homan has said that if the allegations are proven, Omar could be denaturalized.
She closed her video by pleading for more cash. “Please continue to support us. It’s going to be a very expensive and challenging time. So we appreciate whether you’re able to send $5, $10, $20. Thank you.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar finally emerges after DC raid with video pleading for cash to fight Trump” HERE)
