Right wing Judicial Watch filed a congressional ethics complaint against :Ilhan: over the stupid allegations :snoop:





Candidate Obama was forced to address his birth place so to weaken any future narratives/attacks, why didn't she take this opportunity to address the accusations of marriage fraud?

she's already addressed it... the source of these allegations is a troll on a forum called Somalispot who deleted his post

A Palestinian American going to her homeland to shine light on the military occupation of her people will have idiots calling her anti-semitic... and its right wing fascists using that language

She isn't wrong in any way, the situation there is just irreconcilable.
There is no path forward that appeases both Palestine and Israel... and her political opponents will have an easy time of making her appear anti Israel.

Rumors that Ms. Omar had married her brother have been circulating since 2016, when she ran for state representative in Minnesota. No proof has emerged substantiating these claims.

In 2016, Ms. Omar released a statement denying the rumors as “absolutely false and ridiculous” and providing a timeline of her marital history.

According to that timeline, she applied for a marriage license with Ahmed Hirsi in 2002, but never finalized the application. In 2008, they ended their relationship “in our faith tradition.”

State records show that in 2009, Ms. Omar legally married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who she said was a British citizen. They obtained a religious divorce in 2011, according to her timeline, and Mr. Elmi returned to England.

She then reconciled with Mr. Hirsi and married him legally in January 2018, a month after she legally divorced from Mr. Elmi, according to The Associated Press. She and Mr. Hirsi have three children.

Last month, Minnesota’s campaign finance board found that Ms. Omar filed joint tax returns in 2014 and 2015 with Mr. Hirsi while she was still legally married to Mr. Elmi. She agreed to pay a fine and back taxes as a result of the amendments to her returns those years.

In 2016, a blog called PowerLine cited a now-deleted post on an internet forum that claimed Mr. Elmi is Ms. Omar’s brother.

In 2018, The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Ms. Omar showed a reporter cellphone images of documents from her family’s entry into the United States in 1995. They listed her father and siblings by order of birth, with Ms. Omar listed as the youngest of seven children. Mr. Elmi’s name did not appear in the documents. According to the couple’s marriage certificate, he is also three years younger than Ms. Omar, whose mother died when she was 2 years old.

They listed her father and siblings by order of birth, with Ms. Omar listed as the youngest of seven children. Mr. Elmi’s name did not appear in the documents. According to the couple’s marriage certificate, he is also three years younger than Ms. Omar, whose mother died when she was 2 years old.
Omar released a lengthy statement when she first ran for office in 2016 to address the persistent rumors that she married her brother, which she called "absurd and offensive," and gave the following timeline of her marriage history:

  • She married her first and current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, in an Islamic faith ceremony in 2002 when she was 19, but the couple did not obtain a legal marriage certificate. The couple had two children together from 2002 to 2008.
  • Omar and Hirsi split in 2008, also in a faith-based (not legal) proceeding.
  • Omar legally married her second husband, Elmi, in 2009.
  • Elmi and Omar separated just two years later, in 2011, but did not get a legal divorce. Elmi moved back to London.
  • Omar and Hirsi got back together in 2012 and had their third child while Omar was separated from but still legally married to Elmi.
  • Omar officially divorced Elmi in 2017 and legally married Hirsi in 2018.
But since then, numerous public documents obtained and reported by news outlets including the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the Washington Examiner cast doubt on Omar's official timeline of her marriage and relationship history.

As the Star Tribune reported in June, Omar filed joint tax returns with Hirsi in 2014 and 2015 while she was still legally married to Elmi, and she was fined by Minnesota's campaign-finance watchdog for paying a lawyer with campaign funds to fix the mistake, since federal law prohibits people from filing joint returns with a person who is not their spouse.

At about the same time, the Examiner published a story reporting that in dozens of publicly available traffic violation and court records, Hirsi "listed his address at a single Cedar Riverside address consistently in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011," the same address Omar listed in separate traffic-violation cases, including during the time he was split from Omar.

The Examiner further discovered a 2013 local news article that said "Omar and her husband, Ahmed Hirsi, moved to North Dakota so that Omar could finish her bachelor's degree in political science" from 2009 to 2011, the exact time frame during which she was legally married to Elmi, who also attended North Dakota State.

Complicating matters further, both the Star Tribune and the Examiner reported that Omar and Elmi listed an address in the Minneapolis suburb of Columbia Heights on their 2009 marriage-license application — and it was the same location Hirsi listed as his home address when applying for a business license with the state government that same year.

Omar has not yet given a clear explanation as to why so many public documents point to her and Hirsi living together and being romantically involved while she was legally married to another man, but there is no solid evidence to support the theory that Elmi is Omar's brother.
Here's everything we know about the persistent but unproven rumors that Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother, which she has called 'absolutely false and ridiculous'

For the same reason Obama refused to do so for so long. Because the implication is being made for insulting ass reasons in the first place. The main motivation and reason why its so easily believed by certain folks (Mostly white racist cacs) is because the reason its even a question asked of her and why it was asked of Obama instead of any number of white people is because whites view people like Obama and Illhan as others and assume they engage in a number of "Weird" customs and traditions and can't possibly be American under any legitimate means.

Obama finally caved AFTER YEARS of retards pushing his non-american birth and whatever conspiracies they had. The shyt is insulting to entertain and perfectly understandable why its not even worth justifying with an answer and tell them to just suck your dikk.

Also after he released the birth certificate they claimed that was fake. It's no reason to even entertain these retards tbh. Because they don't care about truth, its about disparaging people.

You will never win. The only way to win the game is to never play in the first place.

but like the quote that I'm about to b*stardize says regarding human nature...an unaddressed rumor/lie/accusation becomes fact, especially when the cameras are focused on politicians
If you have docs that eliminate narratives, then why not present it sooner, especially if you're planning on being in public service for awhile. Had Obama addressed the birthers sooner, then maybe Trump wouldn't have had any wave to ride on

As I said, even after he released the documents, they still questioned it and also claimed it was fake. You're not seeing its not about the actual validity of the claim, its simply about disparagement. So whether you disprove it or not is not the point and will not matter to the people who care. It's not going to change the scale or attacks in anyway. So why bother? You're not seeing what is going on here.

Its also much more satisfying given all the above to tell them to kick rocks.

nah, Pres Obama did exactly what you're suggesting until the birther calls became too distracting. Where he was being asked about it by reporters, not random folks on the campaign trail
There's only so far you could go with an accusation that's been addressed with proof. Which is why Trump eventually abandon it and Fox stopped interviewing birthers
