Report: Ilhan Omar ‘in Collection Proceedings’ for Her Student Loans, Is Seeking to ‘Bully’ Her Way Out of Payments

For most Americans, a U.S. lawmaker with onerous student loan debt pushing for debt forgiveness would be viewed as a conflict of interest.

For at least one U.S. representative, it’s apparently a non-issue — and the American Accountability Foundation is livid about it.

According to the Daily Wire, Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has been accused by the watchdog group over a number of issues.

In a scathing letter sent to House Speaker Mike Johnson, American Accountability Foundation President Thomas Jones outed Omar’s dubious finances — and “bully” reputation.

“We are writing today to share serious concerns about abuse of office and abuse of government loans by a member of the House of Representatives, Representative Ilhan Omar,” Jones said.

According to Jones, Omar is actually in collection proceedings on her federally guaranteed student loans.

Citing her financial disclosures, Jones called out the fact that Omar “currently has between $15,001 and $50,000 in outstanding loans.”

Jones noted, “As you know, these loans are guaranteed by the United States Government and Representative Omar’s default would shift the cost of her student loans onto the U.S. taxpayer.”

“The fact that someone making $174,000 as a Member of Congress cannot pay their student loans is unconscionable and embarrassing.”

Jones wasn’t done, however, as he had more issues with Omar than just the poor stewardship of her money.

“Adding insult to injury, there are credible claims that she is using her influence as a Member of Congress to bully the Department of Education into not collecting the past-due payments,” Jones wrote. “We have promulgated a Freedom of Information Act request for correspondence from Representative Omar to fully understand the scale of her abuse of office.”

“Ilhan Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, has a net worth that significantly contributes to their combined wealth, which has been reported to be as high as $30 million. Most of this wealth comes from his venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital, and a winery he owns, with valuations showing substantial increases in recent years.”

Contempt and hatred for America and nothing more. She could write a check but wants to suck as much out of America as she can and laugh about it all the way to the bank.

She’s a cunning stunt. Get an Order on her income, garnish her wages.

That would be nice, but probably won’t happen. She has pigment protection. I know that sucks, but that IS reality.

Since she is who she is...throw the book at her for this. Let her know that she is no longer welcome in this country. Take whatever assets she has that can be used to satisfy the loan. That’s all I can think of right now.
