Don’t expect the national media to report this, but Representative Ilhan Omar is attracting more credible opponents than any sitting member of Congress. Like angry hornets, a swarm is gathering and buzzing around her.
Her days as a Congresswoman may be numbered. It could be a finite number.
She faces at least three opponents on the Democratic side. Splitting the opposition may actually help her survive the primary. The Squad, the fawning media and the Hollywood Left will rally around her. But, the primary fight will likely leave its mark going into the November general election. It’s hard to imagine Democrats abiding by Marquess of Queensberry rules in their primary. Stinging punches, perhaps low blows will be thrown. Assuming she survives, those cuts will leave scars. Don’t expect supporters of her Democrat challengers to switch sides and vote for the Republican in November. But, many may sit out the general, opening the door for an upset.
You may say, No Way! Let me remind you of a powerful Congressman named Danny Rostenkowski. The likable Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee represented a very Democratic district in Chicago. He was arguably the most unbeatable member of Congress running for re-election in 1994. Danny got himself tangled up in the House Bank/Post Office scandal. He also was challenged in the primary. In a general election shocker, Rosty lost to a relatively unknown but credible Republican lawyer named Michael Flanagan. Subsequent investigations uncovered other improprieties and Danny ultimately served a term in a very different federal Big House.
As Mark Twain observed, “History may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme”.
Congresswoman Omar has gotten herself embroiled in several scandals.
She very likely married her brother, committing immigration fraud. Marrying a sibling is still against the law in Minnesota. Doing it in order to violate immigration laws is a federal felony.
She probably was married to two men at the same time. There is pretty strong evidence to support this charge. When convenient, she hides behind Sharia Law, calling one marriage a “faith tradition” union. While Sharia permits a man to have multiple wives, it doesn’t allow Muslim women to have multiple husbands. Minnesota Law doesn’t permit bigamy either.
Rep. Omar had her hands slapped by Minnesota Campaign Finance officials for using campaign funds for personal purposes. She was fined for using campaign funds for travel. It appears that she likely paid her divorce lawyer from her campaign account as well.
Now it is clear that she continues to use campaign funds to advance her love interests. Her campaign consultant (the one she originally denied being romantically involved with) continues to receive generous campaign account paydays for his services. This is the same fellow whose wife blamed Rep. Omar for having an ongoing affair with him in their divorce proceedings. A tryst that the consultant admitted to his wife, ultimately causing their marriage to hit the rocks. The affair allegedly took place while Omar was still married to one of her husbands. The husband that she then described as the father of her children and “the love of her life.”
What is not clear is just how all of this is being received in the Somali community. Dishonoring one’s husband in such a public way is not tolerated in Muslim societies. She claims her life has been threatened. Perhaps it has.
Minnesota State Representaive Steve Drazkowski has called on the Justice Department to investigate the congresswoman. David Steinberg, writer for the Blaze is claiming that a criminal investigation may already be well underway. To date, Steinberg has proven incredibly accurate in his investigative reporting regarding Omar.
Her behavior is that of a person who believes she cannot be held accountable. That she is somehow above the law. Like a spoiled child she flaunts the rules, daring anyone to try punishing her. So far, thanks largely to a doting press, she’s gotten away with it.
From a political standpoint, her biggest problem is that she now has an image of an angry, spoiled, ungrateful child. It will take only one of several credible challengers to turn her into the Rostenkowski of 2020.
Don’t bet against it.
Orange is the new hijab.
It’s also alleged that she is a paid agent for Qatar, working against the United States. If so, that’s treason.
Treason in punishable by death.
Tom Foley, not only lost his Speaker of the House job when Newt took over, Foley lost his district seat as Well!
BUT BUT BUT, she is just following her religious beliefs which makes her immune to any punishment.
Lying, cheating, stealing are all kosher when dealing with the Great Satan of America.
Especially when muslim, female, and black!
“If so, that’s treason.”
No, it’s not.
L
Shame and a pox on all those who voted and support this traitor. Lock her up!
What does that have to do with that bitch?
I’ll certainly miss her if she loses her seat, as her and AOC are my FAVORITE Congresswomen, just as they are to many liberals.
From my standpoint, and I’m sure many of you people, we can tell our America-loving, but Democrat, friends and relatives just how horrible the Democrat Party is and how they are NOT the party of JFK, FDR, or even Bill Clinton, anymore. And the response of them is to first look around the room to make sure there’s a phone nearby so that they can call 911 and have us committed, if we don’t stop with the ‘insanity’ of those claims. Then they politely humor us for as long as they can take it, and then march off to their local DNC office to fight us Fascists.
BUT, with AOC and Omar out there...now they get to see FIRST HAND what we’ve been trying to get through to them, and our chances of staying clear of the happy house are much better. Whether we like it or not, neither us, nor Rush, nor Trump can do the job of communicating just who the Democrats are and where they want to take this country as those two. So hopefully they get to stick around where they can continuing doing just what they have been doing, for a lot longer.
They are? What is wrong with you, or is your writing “FAVORITE” in upper case letters sarcasm? I can’t believe that you are serious.
Why are our elected officials able to decide which laws are enforced, why can they tell law enforcement to stand down, why are they flaunting their own law breaking without being treated the same as unelected citizens? The defense of the common soldier in Germany after WWII was that they were following orders and it didn’t work out well for the common soldier - why are we holding our own people to lower standards than the defeated German soldier who was just following orders. THIS IS WRONG.
If our justice system would do its job, it would be hard for her to campaign when behind bars in a 6x10 room

I was very involved in local politics at the time, not the Michael Patrick Flanigan campaign however. I did know people who were though, and it was very telling that up to the week before the election there were very few Rostenkowski signs up in people's yards in his district.
Almost magically three, maybe four days before the election, Flanigan signs blossomed like road construction pylons on the first spring day here in the Chicago area.
That was the first publicly visible sign anyone had that a major upset was in the making. The local media here was absolutely stunned. Even they were caught blindsighted.
“”Her behavior is that of a person who believes she cannot be held accountable.””
Wouldn’t you think that anyone pulling off as many questionable/corrupt actions as she has would go for a low profile? Apparently not.
When are these sickening women (squad) going to campaign for reelection or do they know there is enough voter fraud to let them keep their seats? That goes for ALL the House members. Constituents all over the country should be hollering bloody murder if they aren’t at the Capitol doing the work they were hired to do - or at least a pretense of it.
about the same time that Killary is behind bars but we know she is the most teflon of the teflons.
I’d really enjoy having this cnut stripped of citizenship for fraud and deported to Somalia. She loves the turd world so, she needs to go back.
I pray to God it is so. Someone has to beat her though.
Won’t happen: Black, Woman,Democrat, Muzzie. The only thing missing from her protected class status is she doesn’t claim that she is a lesbo. She’s safe. No pre-dawn no knock raid with a CNN “News” crew at her house for her.
