Besides scrutiny from the feds, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband’s winery could land the embattled power couple in hot water with imams too. Political consultant Tim Mynett converted to Islam to marry Omar, a practicing Muslim — but selling booze is strictly banned in Islamic law, which considers anything to do with alcohol sinful — or “haram.” “I assure you that they got married in accordance with Islam and the law, and Ilhan’s husband converted to Islam,” a spokesperson for Omar’s office told BBC Somalia at the time of the 2020 wedding. It was Mynett’s California-based wine company eStCru, together with...

A man charged with assaulting U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar at a town hall meeting will remain in custody, following a ruling from a federal judge on Tuesday. Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, was charged last week with allegedly approaching Omar while she was speaking during a town hall and spraying her with liquid from a syringe. A lab analysis found it was likely apple cider vinegar, though that wasn’t known at the time of the incident. Court documents allege that Kazmierczak has a history of social media posts critical of Omar. In a hearing before a federal judge Tuesday, prosecutors with Minnesota’s...

n less than a month, two “ICE watchers” have been shot and killed by immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis. On January 24, a federal agent shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse. His death follows that of Renée Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, who was killed on January 7. Both Pretti and Good participated in “ICE watching,” an anti-immigration-enforcement tactic that can involve tracking ICE agents, filming arrests, and alerting other activists of enforcement actions. While participants frame ICE watching as a “community safety” measure, these tactics often place untrained civilians in direct, high-stakes confrontation...

VIDEOImagine being splattered by a mystery liquid substance tossed by someone who looks and acts like a mental case. What would be any normal person's reaction?

Ilhan Omar has been hit by claims she faked her own attack after Donald Trump declared 'she probably had herself sprayed.' The Minnesota Democratic Representative, 43, was doused with an unknown vinegar-smelling liquid from a syringe during a town hall event in Minneapolis on Tuesday. Anthony Kazmierczak, 55 - a Trump supporter who has previously posted anti-Omar comments on social media - was charged with third-degree assault. But Omar's actions during the attack have sparked theories it was staged, with online sleuths pointing to two supposed inconsistencies. The first is that the congresswoman's immediate response to the liquid being sprayed...

President Donald Trump, reacting sight unseen to breaking news that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., had been sprayed with what the media described as a "liquid" that appeared urine-colored, claimed the incident was staged. That very narrative has been viral by conservatives on social media Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, but Trump was asked about the incident shortly after the news broke and before he had seen it. "No. I don't think about her; I think she's a fraud; I really don't think about that: She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her," Trump told an ABC News reporter. "I haven't...

President Trump derided Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as a “fraud” Tuesday night before suggesting the lawmaker arranged an attack in which she was sprayed with an unknown substance by an audience member during a town hall event. “I don’t think about her.

No, no. I hope I don’t have to bother,” he added.

An attack on Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar at a town hall late Tuesday drew condemnation from both sides of the political aisle — but also drew plenty of questions from social media users, who questioned several odd details regarding the attack. Notably, many raised suspicions about the legitimacy of the liquid attack based on the fact that Omar refused to seek treatment or get checked out, and the fact that footage seemed to indicate a nod toward the attacker just before the attack. ... Those who rushed to her aid insisted that she get checked out, but she refused,...

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., held a town hall Tuesday evening in her home district amid recent shootings involving federal immigration agents and local agitators in Minneapolis.

President Donald Trump on Saturday claimed that more than $100 billion may have been stolen from Minnesota over the years, accusing "corrupt politicians and fraudsters" of what he called massive theft and fraud and warning that Democrat-led states such as California would be "worse." In posts on Truth Social, Trump alleged that the scale of wrongdoing in Minnesota could surpass the nine-figure threshold, though he offered no documentation or official findings to support the estimate. "It is actually possible that the total amount of money stolen, over the years, by corrupt politicians and fraudsters, from Minnesota, will exceed $100 billion,"...

Gov. Tim Walz is akin to the leader of a “drug cartel,” according to a Minnesota state lawmaker who filed articles of impeachment against the embattled Democrat — and warns other pols in the scandal state could be next. Republican state Rep. Mike Wiener drafted the paperwork to boot lefty Walz in November and filed the docs on Jan. 12, alleging the former vice presidential candidate failed in his fiduciary responsibility to taxpayers as a $9 billion Somali social services scandal unfolded under his nose. “This is almost like a drug cartel. You’ve got various levels that are all taking...
