Of all The Squad members, the most likely to be a one-term wonder is Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who has just been named “the other woman” in a divorce filing submitted in the DC Superior Court on Tuesday. As you will read, this Somalian refugee is less devout Muslim and more anti-Christian/Jew. In short, she is an anti-American phony.
Conservative columnist Roger Simon notes that Omar “can’t go home” to Somalia because that country’s primary Islamist group, al-Shabaab, still stones adulterous women (and men) to death – as recently as last Thursday. No wonder she freaked out when Trump supporters shouted “Send Her Back!” in North Carolina. By the way, any place that still stones folks to death for adultery is a “sh*thole” country of origin.
To be sure, some of the research into, and reporting of, her ethical lapses are politically motivated half-truths, which she dissembles and denies to retain her seat in Congress. However, she is now named in a lawsuit, accused of alienating the affection of another woman’s husband. Dissembling and denials won’t work under oath on tape in front of Dr. Beth Mynett’s attorney.
In politics, there can be only so much smoke before party bigwigs and voters know a candidate is a flaming disaster. In Omar’s case, that political bigwig is the speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi, who cannot tolerate Omar’s public anti-Semitism (claiming Israel funneled “Benjamins” to members of Congress in exchange for support) or appreciate The Squad’s summer claim that Pelosi’s critical comments of them were racially motivated.
In June, the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Disclosure Board fined Omar $500 and made her repay $3,500 after she used campaign funds for personal travel. That’s a small fire, but now she is accused of dispersing over $21,000 in campaign funds to fly Tim Mynett on adulterous trips. This is a big no-no: Duncan Hunter (R-CA) awaits trial in January for the same crime.
I smell smoke. Mynett’s travels with Omar commenced in March; well after her election and one week before he confessed to his wife of his affair with the congresswoman. He was then photographed beside Omar at the the infamous CAIR conference, where she avowed “some people did something” on 9-11.
In fact, Omar’s love and marital status is shrouded in smoke. Credible reports show she was engaged to Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi in 2002, had a faith-based marriage that produced two children, and separated in 2008. In 2009, she legally married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, her half-brother. After a 2011 reconciliation with Hirsi, she had a faith-based divorce from Elmi.
In 2012, she had a third child with Hirsi. Finally, Omar legally divorced Elmi in 2017 and legally married Hirsi in 2018. This created several problems. Minnesota campaign finance officials have found that Omar and Hirsi filed joint tax returns; a violation of Minnesota law because they were not legally married. Further, FOI investigators are trying to prove her marriage to Elmi, a British citizen, was a fraudulent citizenship scheme.
There comes a time when electorates tire of defending politicians who claim “I’m not a crook” or “I did not have sex with that woman.” That’s when the politician’s support can be clocked on an egg timer. Like every other fallen politician, Omar decries unjust haters for exposing her flawed character. And there you have it: another fool politician hoisted with her own petard.
How dumb must Omar be to mis-spend campaign funds and have an affair? She smeared Israel, alienated the Speaker of the House, and tweeted epithets at the President – when those powers have six ways from Sunday of getting even. If she has a lick of sense, Omar will resign before the DOJ and ICE investigations lead to criminal indictments.
