If this were Trump, would the media work so furiously to cover it up? If this were me or Robert Spencer or anyone on the right running for office — could we expect this criminally complicit collusion?
Minnesota: Establishment media blacks out evidence of Muslim Congressional candidate’s perjury
Thanks to Jihad Watch
If Ilhan Omar were an evangelical Christian, do you think the Minnesota establishment media would be acting this way? Neither do I.

“Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Perjury Evidence Blacked Out by Minnesota Media,” by David Steinberg, PJ Media, August 12, 2018:
According to CNN, 100 or more newspapers will publish editorials attacking President Trump on August 16.
Meanwhile, Minnesota’s largest newspapers — along with every other mainstream outlet in the country — just whiffed on covering this: Signed, notarized court documents and time-stamped photos showing the Democratic frontrunner for Minnesota’s highest-profile House seat appearing to commit perjury.
The common newsroom explanation, often valid, for having passed on a particular story — “we couldn’t independently verify it” — simply does not apply here. The evidence, reposted below, against Minnesota state Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-60B) consists of nothing but certified court filings and archived social media posts.
These court records are publicly available: Anyone can enter the Hennepin County District Court Records Center, sit at a self-service terminal, and retrieve them. The social media posts (which have since been deleted from Ilhan Omar’s and her ex-husband’s Instagram accounts) are easily verifiable by a novice, let alone a modern digital news outlet.
These court records do not describe decades-old college misdemeanors. They are from 2017.
This story was never obscure; the 2016 coverage of Rep. Omar’s marriage — which presumably motivated her filing for default divorce just a few months later — was global. Frankly, these court records may depict the most (only?) high-profile default divorce in U.S. political history.
If forced to provide an excuse, I expect most mainstream outlets will claim to have avoided the story because of its related salacious aspect: That Omar married her own brother to assist him in committing immigration fraud or some other crime. Yet even without regard for the (objectively convincing) evidence of that allegation, that excuse would be the most easily dismissed. We’ve seen how the nation’s mainstream newsrooms responded to an unverified “pee tape.”
Most importantly, however, the perjury evidence is entirely separate from the more sensational charge.
And perjury is yet another topic about which these outlets do not have a track record of extreme caution.
Phyllis Kahn is the 22-term incumbent whom Ilhan Omar defeated in 2016. Kahn, perhaps the only Democrat with no reason to fear speaking candidly on Omar, did so last week during an interview with The Intercept:
[Kahn] said without prompt that Omar was “anti-Semitic,” and that “the story about the two husbands is completely true,” referring to a 2016 controversy in which Omar was accused of being a bigamist who married her brother to commit immigration fraud. At the time, Omar said in a statement that the rumors about her personal life were “absolutely false and ridiculous.” Kahn, apparently, is not convinced. She said, “This kind of Minnesota niceness, or whatever, of not wanting to appear racist — it’s something no one’s willing to go after her for.”
Kahn mentions only part of the story. Party identification and Omar’s frontrunner status should be considered the primary reasons for the media silence. Nonetheless, Kahn’s comments will be valuable should Omar win on Tuesday and the pressure intensify for media to explain the blackout.

Nothing new here, the MSM is just doing their job as the propaganda arm of the democrat party. Covering up crimes and not reporting important facts is just part of that duty.

They are trying to capitalize on WOMEN.

This is the women I was talking about in the post on the Ellison story. She committed fraud when she married her brother to get him in the country. One would think that this would put an end to her political career but hey, she’s a Muslim and a woman of color so of course she’ll get a pass. Unbelievable!

The mainstream media has always sympathized very strongly with Muslims and their religion, sadly enough.

Investigating journalism died when obama changed the National Authorization Act in 2013 ( just after he stole the election with the scam of double votes in Florida) to allow propaganda to be used against the citizens of America. How far Americans have fallen in eight years of the Muslim rule. Just imagine what we will look like in twenty years. Oh wait, you don’t have to imagine. Just look what they have done to eurEur in such a short time. If your not willing to fight for you freedom, you will soon realize “freedom isn’t free”. Warriors take a stand or leave Islam for your children to live by.

They are figuring out that they can get away with anything, so they are taking advantage of it. They are a protected class, just like demorat politicians.

Is it not a crime to marry your brother in Minnesota? Is it not a crime to marry someone to bypass immigration law? What is wrong with people in Minnesota?

I guess now it is okay to commit immigration fraud. This is why the country is in the mess it is in today. Someone needs to run against her and win. I don’t care if they are a repub or a dem. If she wasn’t a muslim, this would be front page news.
