I wonder why.
Ilhan Omar Stonewalling Hometown Paper On Marriage Controversy, Editor Says
By Peter, Hassan, Daily Caller, July 18, 2019:
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has allegedly been uncooperative with her hometown paper’s efforts to get to the bottom of accusations that she committed marriage fraud, the paper’s political editor said.
Story continues below advertisementOmar’s brief congressional career has been dogged by accusations — which she has denied — that she married a male relative, possibly her brother. Omar and her current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, filed joint tax returns while Omar was married to another man, Ahmed Elmi, Minnesota campaign finance officials said.
Omar and her family have made it difficult for journalists to find out the truth about her marriage, Minnesota Star-Tribune editor Kevin Diaz told PolitiFact in an interview Thursday.
“Our public records searches determined that in at least one period after she married Elmi, all three (Omar, Elmi and Hirsi) used the same address in Minnesota. It raises questions about the nature of the relationship if she is living with both the person she’s married to and her eventual husband,” Diaz said.

“What’s really made it hard is that she’s been unwilling to address any of these questions. That has fueled the controversy. We quoted her at length to say that these were mere accusations, that they were unfair, and that she shouldn’t have to address them. Be that as may, there was an undisputed instance of her filing her taxes improperly. And if you’re in Congress, you should explain that to your constituents,” he continued.
“We’ve asked her these questions, and also asked her to make her father available. We’ve tried to reach Elmi. We’ve tried to reach her sisters. Her family could put this (the question of Elmi’s relationship to Omar) to rest easily. No one will talk to us. I wish we could send a reporter to Mogadishu (Somalia) but we don’t have the bandwidth,” the editor added.
Omar’s office didn’t immediately return the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment on Diaz’s remarks.
President Donald Trump gave fuel to the allegations surrounding Omar’s marriage in comments to reporters Wednesday.
“There’s a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it,” Trump said. “I don’t know, but I’m sure that somebody would be looking at that.”

It seems to be a very interesting case…!
Her, not coming forward and producing the documents and forms, says all we need to know, she is guilty.
And doesn’t care. Why should she? She’s a Muslim, female Democrat in America. Nuff said.
Marriage for convenience, to keep a person in the country, is illegal. Bigamy is illegal.
I don’t think she was incestuous, but one never knows.
She will walk on this, if local prosecutors are involved. They are very politicized.
In other words Bill, the two-tiered justice system in America (which is just-a-system) will avoid this clearly felonious case, including indictment, prosecution and sentencing. Payouts are in the offing, so with wheels greased, she will walk.
CIVIL WAR is coming………..when good Americans begin to understand that there are 2 justice systems: 1 for THEM and 1 for you and I. It is coming and when it does, THEY WILL GO FIRST.
Indeed she will, Mark. She’s already been instructed to ‘lay low’ on this matter until the ‘noise’ dies down-just like the two governors in Virginia-both of whom should have been removed from office by now.
But where are they? Same place they were before the ‘noise’ began-and they’ll be there until they decide it’s time to leave (on their own terms).
A simple DNA test on the two would establish if she is a brotherf……married to a sisterf……or not. Being Muslims means that they of cause are professional liars.
I thought her home town was Mogadishu.
Maybe she could pen a little tune: I Left My Heart in Mogadishu or I Love Mogadishu.
It isn’t mind-boggling at all; Omar is a Democrat, more importantly, a traitor affiliated with Jihad, and is corrupt beyond the description of the word. The fact that she is a Democrat-Islamist-Jihad enables her to evade the illegal, criminal, and ongoing propagation of Jew-Hatred, America-Hatred, and her affiliations with Terrorist organizations. If Ilhan Omar and her Squad of Jihad were not Democrats, they would face indictment for treason and other criminal acts.
Omar is a quintessential Democrat; the entire Party is rife with treasonous and corrupt representatives. The pyramid of duplicity, subversion begins with Pelosi, Schumer and a myriad of others bent on the Republic’s demise. One cannot separate Omar and her squad from the entire Democratic Party. A Party whose base is one of exploitation to maintain or regain power. Omar’s evildoings are synonymous with those of the Democratic Party.
lf she were a smart muslimah she would accuse her questioners of islamofauxbia and/or racism.
The US government infiltrated by a Muslim terrorist, practicing Muslim taqiyya to undermine and help bring down this country. In a long line of democrats support, Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton (Huma), Waters, Feinstein, Waserstein-Schultz and her Muslim IT Awan brothers, DNC. Democrats ARE the enemy of America.
MUSLIMS are the enemy of America BECAUSE of their ideology of NEGATIVE LIBERTIES. Next are the Dems, then the RINOS.
Islam is the enemy of western civilization.
Islam is the enemy of any non muslim human beings, any
@JMWE12: One correction needs to be made in your very correct comment. This correction is about the (DNC) / DemocRATic National Communist party. There are still good Constitutional Loyalist in America. We are the true Democrats – the OLD SCHOOL where we take the words of the Constitution for how they are written, NOT how these new COMMUNISTS REINTERPRET the English words by TWISTING them in TORTURE to MEAN what these NEW COMMUNIST – – – F E E L.
Give me the Constitution and the Bill of RIGHTS the way they ARE written, every day.
IF people have a question of the FOREFATHER’S INTENT – – – READ and study the Federalist Papers. You will find their INTENT is plainly EXPLAINED – – – – – IN ENGLISH.
I agree
I think she married Bernie Sanders.
Right on! And they had a child…1/2 piggy. 1/2 weasel! Stay tuned!!!
That scared me!
false beasts – John 8:44 “Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.”
Without exception, all Muslims recognize Sharia and the Koran as their supreme and above all other law – the ones who act differently are not Muslims. Invariably, all Muslims either belong to the silent majority who approve of the terrorist activities and are the refuge for murderers and terrorists worldwide, or they are accomplices or active terrorists and murderers.
Without Islam, the world would be a thousand times safer and more humane.
Islam must be mercilessly extinguished worldwide – NOW!
Agreed. Just remember her constituency contains the element from which sprang the mass shooter at the Mall of the Americas.
If correct, the info coming out gives her the same name as the murderous cop who killed the Australian woman….Noor or Nur! Family? She may not even be Omar!
Agreed. Trying to determine the genetic makeup of these incestuous bastards is like trying to unscramble the eggs in an omelet.
If these allegations are true, laws have been broken. This matter should be investigated.
Investigate for what purpose? To do nothing?!
She replied, “Hey, back home in Somalia, incest is acceptable, provided one keeps t in the family!”
If what I heard recently is correct, her name is not Omar, it is Noor or Nur, and she came in fraudulently, along with her father and some siblings, with the Omar family. It seems that allegedly her father was part of the murderous regime in Somalia, and they fled rather than being tried for said crimes! Keep eyes open on this one as full disclosure concerning her will probably never be allowed brought to light!!
It wouldn’t matter even if it did!
Again…she’s a Muslim (protected class).
A woman (another protected class).
And a Democrat (still another protected class-particularly when it pertains to sexual perversion, lawlessness and corruption).
This is modern-day America, remember?
Sadly, I fear you are correct !!
Omar comes from a CD that is at the heart of the DFL [Democrats] in Minnesota. The DFL does most of its campaigning in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. Omar’s district is in Hennepin County. If they win those 2 counties, they win state-wide elections. Almost half the state lives in that area.
That is how we got Keith Ellison as Attorney General. I’m assuming he would “lead” the investigation against some of these allegations against Omar. That will never happen. Omar will get re-elected, unless another DFLer wins the nomination. Then it will be that DFLer. It’s always a DFLer!
She is here to stay. Stop the “go back” B.S. and fight her on policy. First up…BDS.
I demand to see her tax returns.
They all shared the same address? Cozy.
I bet that isn’t all they shared.
“I wonder why.” Because she doesn’t have to. She’s already been told that. She’s a Democrat. Remember? The law doesn’t apply to them.
And a Muslim woman to boot? She has nothing to fear in America. And she knows it.
Revoke citizenship and deport Forthwith.
Pamela, I am glad you are concentrating your efforts lately on Omar. I feel she is the weakest link in the four horsemen of the apacalypse, and thus most venerable to criticism and revealing the truth about her. Keep it up and help get her out of our government before 2020. That may be just the first step of her eventual journey back to Somalia. Praise God!
After her comments on 9/11, very little would surprise me coming from her anymore.
