Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's father dies from COVID-19 complications
CBS News ^ | 06/16/2020 | BY MELISSA QUINN

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, revealed late Monday that her father died due to complications from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

Omar announced the passing of her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, in a statement that included the phrase from the Quran, "Surely we belong to God and to him shall we return."

"No words can describe what he meant to me and all who knew him," Omar said. "My family and I ask for your respect and privacy during this time."

Omar was elected to Congress in 2018, becoming the first Somali-American lawmaker and one of the first two Muslim women elected. She was born in Somalia and fled the country's civil war with her family at the age of 8. Omar spent four years at a refugee camp before immigrating to the U.S. She and her family settled in Minnesota in 1997.

The day before Omar was sworn in as a member of Congress in January 2019, she shared a photo of her and her father arriving at the airport in Washington, the same airport they arrived at from the refugee camp in Kenya.

They both should have stayed at the refugee camp in Kenya.

She should be charged with murder.

Probably caught from her husband / brother and gave it to her Dad so that would be premeditated because they both know him.

Hard to write the way liberals think....

Not sure what the law is in Minnesota regarding the use of HCQ.

I’d love to know if he was out protesting in Minneapolis before falling ill. Or perhaps someone in his family was and transmitted it to him and killed him.

What are his views on female genital mutilation, since its highly likely he allowed his daughter to be subjected to it?
