Rep. Ilhan Omar Stonewalling Hometown Paper on Marriage Controversy, Editor Says
The National Interest ^ | 7/19/2019 | Peter J. Hasson

Posted on 07/19/2019 5:44:47 PM PDT by Its All Over Except ...

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.

Omar’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,” ...

There does seem to be a race going on to cover up something.

Some people covered up something...

OMG can someone please help. Suddenly my FR page has changed to just show title as each person makes a post

Before it would show title and a brief paragraph.

I have no idea why it changed or how to fix it.

But liberals say “Should real Christians be lying?”

So why do they not ask “Should real Muslims be lying?”

Whatever they throw at Christians, demand they throw at Muslims.

Worked for the Clintons. Ignore getting caught until the scandal becomes “old news”

The Quran states at least 4 times that Al-lah is himself a deceiver, and in more than one place Al-lah, written as speaking, says he does deceive people.

We know who the true deceiver is and this is his religion.

“I want to know why the Omars who sponsored Ilhan into the country aren’t front and center.”

What I want to know is why the Lutheran Church isn’t “front and center” here? They are the one’s who brought this trash to our shores.

“The brother Mohammed in the UK doesn’t look like her in my opinion. he has a huge forehead. “

That’s because he has a “Somali Malady” known as $h!t for brains.

Mohmed Nur Dhay-lule is her brother who has scrubbed everything off his facebook page referencing Omar

I doubt Sed is a true bro. probably just an expression

50 of 1,380 is the comment number listed

I have been snooping around to see where Dhay-lule comes from

She now refuses to answer questions about this. I think they are closing in on the truth about her immigration status and she will soon be issuing statements through her lawyer.


Not the MSM. They are still in stenography mode. I see no evidence they are actively “investigating” her. They easily could track her relatives down and put a camera in their faces. Not difficult. Are they doing that? No. And of course if this was Trump related no stone would be unturned.

I don’t think the media can cover this one up, it is just too gossipy.

I hope you are right. The basic story was revealed in August of 2016. The MSM cover-up worked so well that she was elected in November, 2018. Maybe now, thanks to Trump, Omar (or whatever her real name is) will be held accountable.
