WASHINGTON — Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) claimed in a new interview that President Trump has a “creepy obsession” with her and is spreading “conspiracy theories” — likening the federal inquiry into her alleged immigration fraud to questions about former President Barack Obama’s birthplace.
The Somalia-born progressive is under investigation by the Justice Department, which could yank her US citizenship if issues are found with her 2000 naturalization papers. The Obama DOJ previously investigated her 2009 marriage to her alleged brother, Ahmed Elmi.
“Trump has an unhealthy and creepy obsession with me. I represent everything Trump and today’s Republican Party seem to despise,” Omar told The Nation. “I’m a woman, an immigrant, a refugee, a Muslim woman who wears a hijab, and someone who refuses to be intimidated into silence.”
Omar, whose DC home was raided by federal agents on Oct. 12, said Trump and other Republicans are targeting her with “racism, Islamophobia, conspiracy theories, and lies” to distract from “their own failures.”
She said that Trump’s focus on her background is similar to his agitation to force Obama to produce his birth certificate — which Obama then did in 2011 — to debunk rumors that he was born in Kenya.
“President Obama knows the world of right-wing conspiracies better than anyone. In many ways, the conspiracy world I find myself in was created around him,” Omar told The Nation.
“That is why he can so clearly see the purpose and contradictions of the lies being told about me. He knows that no amount of evidence or facts will ever be enough for these trolls, because they are not after the truth. The conspiracy itself is what drives them.”

Trump suckered her again.
Yo, Ilhan, when did you change your last name to Omar? Where’s the documentation? How many other identities do you have?
“Really expensive lawyers ain’t cheap, ya know.”
And scrubbing all your previous lies from the Internet is a huge, costly, and time-consuming undertaking.
Hillary Clinton was the original “Birther” hawk on Obama.
LOL
— which Obama then did in 2011 —
No, he never has
Following the lead of AOC that he wants to date her or all conservatives do. The delusion is strong with this one.
Tell you what, Ilhan, if you submit to an independent DNA test with you and Ahmed, whose results would be publicly announced, that would go a long way to shut up me (and many of your critics).
It doesn’t occur to her why President Trump has focused on her.
She might want to consider her words in actions. Most normal Men don’t tolerate attacks. A man like President Trump certainly will not.
So put on your big boy pants Elmi, Omar, Nur… whatever your name is.
It’s okay to have obsessions with criminals.
She stole that from Hillary.
But marrying your brother isn't creepy?
Yes, well we need a lot more "Somalia-born progressives" in the U.S. Congress, now don't we? One is simply not enough! There'll be none if anything should happen to her! There goes the mosaic! That's just not who we are!
A simple DNA test should settle this question.
Earth to Omar: Americans are no more obsessed with you than Norwegians were obsessed with Vidkun Quisling. Most of us didn’t even want to give you the dignity of a firing squad. We just you gone!
