Omar came here, ostensibly as a refugee. Now she uses her position as an elected member of Congress to continuously whine about how terrible America is, despite being given safe haven, an education, a community, opportunities galore, and now a job in our political process. How could this possibly make sense?
I thought it was a spurious joke about her being married to her brother. I searched for an hour and a half today online, and after sifting through dozens of "articles" in which the only research done was reporters parroting her flimsy denials, I found a couple that did some actual investigating. One was written when she first got elected to office. And the other, more recent one was written by another lady of African descent, who was able to get some info from some of the Somalis in the community Omar lived in and was elected from. While neither of these articles included any photos or links to the documents and/or photos they cite as references, the fact that stuff found online is already starting to disappear, leads me to believe that the answer is "yes, it's likely to be true."
Does it surprise me that a democrat party member is getting way with something that any other person wouldn't even conceive of pulling? No. Will she be censured, held accountable or chastised for her unscrupulous behavior? No, of course not. She's got a literal "get outta jail free" card now.
But, having seen and heard her misuse her important position as a Representative of the People to spew virulence and anger, I can honestly say that if somebody does assassinate her shrike-ass, I sure as heck won't shed any tears. And don't even get me started on the female genital mutilation. (She's all for it.)
