Ilhan Omar’s grifty and sordid reelection campaign
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/16/20 | Timothy P. Carney

Posted on 07/16/2020 3:08:38 PM PDT by Libloather

Ilhan Omar has spent $2.97 million on her reelection this year. If you set aside refunds and transfers, her operating expenditures are $2.59 million. Only five members of Congress have spent more on operating expenditures so far this cycle.

Where is all that money going?

Much of it is going to her husband.

In March, the congresswoman (who perpetually scolded anyone who inquired about her multiple marriages) married her top campaign consultant, Tim Mynett. Mynett’s ex-wife alleged in divorce filings that her husband and Omar were carrying on an affair while both were married. Why does the congresswoman’s extramarital affair matter?

For starters, marital fidelity and sexual ethics reflect on character, which matters for elected officials.

But also, when Omar is funneling the lion’s share of her fundraising to her paramour-turned-husband, it’s a matter of public corruption.

As of June 30, according to her campaign’s latest filing, Mynett’s firm, the E Street Group, has pocketed $1.04 million of her $2.59 million in operating expenditures. That means that 40% of every dollar donated to reelect Omar lands in the bank account of her husband’s firm.

This anti- American mole appears to enjoy a rich ($) and very close family life. So to speak. If we can’t remove her at least from our body politic we,re in deep trouble.

There is not much you can do to remove her. Obviously, Minneapolis is now the San Francisco of the Midwest. If you are a Republican you nee to get out!

Her campaign theme song could be “He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.”

"Why has nothing been done to bring charges against this one and the anti-american snot from Minnesota?"

Because law and justice does not apply in Alinsky driven bureaucrats. Control and submission to the bureaucratic state is all that matters at any means in a struggle of the ruling class vs those who resist.

Do you really need to ask?

Because the Republicans are sniveling, spineless vagina-men. They spent more effort getting Steve King ostracized and booted from Congress for saying words that offended Democrats than they spend investigating actual Democrat corruption.

Never has a greater collection of cowardace existed than the GOP House.

You expect he Pelosi (Rat majority) House would do this?
Per Us Constitution each house of Congress is responsible for the “suitability” of its members.

Besides every time that twat opens her anti-American mouth its great anti-Rat publicity. She’s actively campaigning for a Republican house and doesn’t know it.

Fortunately, our family got the hell out of Minnesota long ago. It always tended far leftist but it had a strong pacifist tinge Now it’s sure gone Insane now with this Dangerous islamonazi bs. Anyone staying there is at risk and should at least have good protection and be prepared to use it until such time as they can get out to safer places
