Her complicated family/marriage status served as a handy cover to ride the US gravy train.
Republicans need to uncover:
<><> how many different family names Omar uses?
<><> how many tax-paid freebies did she pocket?
<><> how many identities did she use?
<><> how many US govt checks was she cashing? Is she cashing now?
<><> how many EITC checks does she cash per month?
UPDATE Theres no question in my mind...Washington-based Omar is still on the MINN gravy train.
Apparently Omar made several moves upon landing on our precious American soil:
<><> She became a citizen AND a victim.
<><> She joined the Democrat party,
<><> She learned to speak the language of oppression.
She thoroughly understands our system (which she hold in complete contempt).
She must have been coached by the Muslim authorties to whom she is in obeisance (all of them lying in wait to make us submit to Sharia law).
Omar is their tool. According to her Washington Post profile, Omar wasted no time....
she felt betrayal immediately upon getting to America.
There are 50 countries around the world that identify as Islamic.
Theres something sinister about this bunch whining for civil rights.....
complaining about Christians in a decidedly Christian country like America.
Why do Muslims need America to legitimize themselves?
They whine about making sure people feel represented.
BalderdashIslam is all about triumphalism.....getting power over infidels.
The word Islam means submission.
These people are plotting, lying-in-wait to force submission to Islam
and to install Sharia law in our nation. ....using our Congress and our laws.
We cannot rest til these people are unceremoniously kicked out of our country.
Which is more than most Natural Born Americans do.

In this one, very particular instance, she's right about constantly asking a politician the same question they've been asked and answered multiple times just because of who they are. I remember when they did that exact same thing to Trump with respect to David Duke. He denounced him, denounced him again, then finally said "quit asking me about him", and people claimed "he refuses to denounce David Duke!"
We can afford to be consistent in our arguments.
“Okay, uh...she’s actually got a decent point here.”
not really. the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia CONSTANTLY asks the same questions over and over again for folks on our side, questions that they NEVER ask the other side at all ... Omar can dish it out, she just can’t take it ...
I think she's reprehensible, but if we're going to be consistent, she's got a point. Here's what she said in her answer:
You can look up my record. I've voted for bills doing exactly what you are asking me to do.
I checked it out, and it's true. She did vote for a bill in Minnesota that did just that.
This is a trick they pull on Republicans (almost exclusively) all the time. It's not about the denial -- it is about associating their name with the question. It's asking Trump about David Duke multiple times, or racism, etc.. No matter how many times he says he's against it, they keep asking simply because they want to put his name and those words in the same sentence.
Yes, we MUST be consistent. I would have lost my bet.
I would council the congresscritter to answer “Asked and answered. Refer to my previous statements and try to be relevant in your questions.”
I would advise President Trump the same.
I have no issues pursuing her for her garbage verbiage, but cannot find it in myself to be hypocritical to my own principles - including honesty.
Because going on the offensive due to her being offended (now as a legislator, not a ‘person of color’) is the only play she has left.
She’s out of cards, unless she plays the Smollett card...
Its like Hillary being SHOCKED AND APPALLED that her husband may have rallied with a WH intern.
She probably had the genital mutilation done to herself. Shes overcompensating, acting so shocked.
So what the heck was the answer ? I must be going deaf. Lol.
Reality and a serious summary, thank you!

Turkish Government Papers Call For Campaign Funds For U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar
MEMRI ^ | July 1, 2019 | MEMRI / FR Posted on 7/1/2019, 5:19:30 PM by JOHN ADAMS
In an article about U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the manager of the Turkish state-run news channel TRT World's Research Centre, Dr. Tarek Cherkaoui, encouraged readers to donate to Omar's campaign fund. The article, written for the English-language website of the Turkish pro-government daily Yeni Şafak and published April 1, 2019, was titled "Media Flak Directed At Ilhan Omar No Surprise At All."[1] At least seven other Turkish media outlets ran the same article, in both English and in Turkish. It should be noted that U.S. federal law prohibits foreign nationals from donating to political candidates.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) meets with Turkish President Erdoğan during the 2017 UN General Assembly. Turkish News Outlets Call For Funding For Omar In his article, Dr. Cherkaoui wrote that "donating money to Omar's campaign fund would be an adequate way of denying powerful organizations the power to censor alternative voices."[2] The article, which originally appeared in Yeni Şafak, was also published, with the same call for funds, on both the English- and Turkish-language websites of Turkish state-run news wire Anadolu Agency,[3] the website of the Turkish state-run TRT World's Research Centre,[4] and the Turkish news websites TimeTurk,[5] Haksöz Haber,[6] TürkHaber,[7] and Fikriyat.[8] It is difficult to calculate the reach that this call has had among Turkish readers, but Yeni Şafak's Turkish-language website is one of Turkey's most popular news websites,[9] and, as of September 2018, its Turkish print edition had a weekly circulation of 111,622.[10] Given Omar's popularity in Turkey, and that the article was published in Turkish as well as in English, it is likely that some Turks have sought to donate to Rep. Omar's campaign fund.
Turkish Foreign Minister Phones Omar To Congratulate Her On Election Wins; Omar Meets With Erdoğan In New York, And With Turkish Consul General, Participates In Istanbul Conference According to diplomatic sources, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu phoned Rep. Omar in November 2016 to congratulate her on her election victory,[11] and again congratulated her on her win in November 2018.[12] Turkish press reports on Turkish FM's phone call congratulating Omar.
In September 2017, Rep. Omar met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan when he was in New York for the UN General Assembly.[13] President Erdoğan's party, the AKP, tweeted about the meeting from its official Twitter account.[14] On July 1, 2017, Omar tweeted that she had met, the previous day, with Turkish Consul General in Chicago Umut Acar for lunch and a tour.[15] The tweet linked to a Facebook page that has since been removed.
A year later, on September 24, 2018, Turkish Consul General Umut Acar tweeted a photo of himself, Omar, and another woman. Acar wrote: "We hosted Omar at the residence." He went on to describe Omar's life.[16] On February 4, 2017, Omar spoke on a panel at the "Who Is A Defender? International Human Rights Defenders Conference," held in the Şişli district of Istanbul, Turkey. the conference was organized by the Şişli municipality.[17] Omar at "Who Is A Defender? International Human Rights Defenders Conference" in Şişli, February 2017. Turkish Media Praise For Rep. Omar Omar has become a favorite of both the Turkish- and English-language media in Turkey. TRT World's YouTube channel, the English-language channel of the Turkish state-owned broadcasting network TRT, has at least a dozen videos featuring her,[18] including an interview with Omar herself.[19] Hundreds of news articles in Turkish about her have been published, some under headlines such as "Ilhan Omar Laid Out The U.S.'s Lies In The Middle East One By One!"[20] and, in a play on a Turkish expression, "The One Who Tells The Truth Will Be Chased Out Of Nine Parliaments."[21]
Dr. Cherkoui's Article: "Media Flak Directed At Ilhan Omar No Surprise At All" Following are excerpts of Dr. Cherkaoui's article, "Media Flak Directed At Ilhan Omar No Surprise At All," as it first appeared on the English-language website of Yeni Şafak on April 1, 2019: "Recently, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) held its annual conference amidst political upheavals both in the United States and the Middle East. It is no secret that AIPAC has an enormously influential role in American politics and the organization's events, and especially the annual AIPAC Policy Conference, are generally well attended by top political personalities in Washington D.C. and beyond.
"During this year's gathering, heavy criticism was directed to Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. For example, American Vice President Mike Pence said 'recently, a freshman Democrat in Congress trafficked in repeated anti-Semitic tropes,' adding that 'anyone who slanders those who support this historic alliance between the United States and Israel should never have a seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee of the United States House of Representatives.'[22] "It is interesting to note that Rep. Omar had not expressed anti-Semitic statements per se. She made comments[23] on Twitter about the nature of AIPAC's influence in Washington. However, her remarks were distorted and taken out of context.
"The smear campaign directed against Omar is merely an attempt to stifle this new wave of youthful political activism, which paved the way for greater representation of minority groups and women. This increasing influence of minorities in the political sphere is surely not to the liking of the Republican Party's support base. The latter sees with suspicion the loss of urban and suburban centers to minority candidates. The new dynamics are set to alter the balance of power in the long-term since the current demographics that brought electoral victory to the Republican Party relies primarily on an aging populace of conservative whites. "This transformation is already affecting electoral behavior. For instance, in the aftermath of Nov. 7, 2018, the Democrats succeeded in wresting a 223-seat majority in the House of Representatives. In this context, Ilhan Omar (who is a Somali refugee) and Rashida Tlaib became the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress. --snip--
Mmmmmm.....Omar’s going ballistic over the FGM query tells me things are not going as she planned.
By now, she was supposed to be the smiling Muslim darling leading Christians to the slaughter.
How dare they ask her about the (cough) quaint Muslim custom of FGM?
Next thing you now, people will want to know is she has a wardrobe of matching suicide vests?
