Omar Responds To Claim That She Married Her Brother By Promoting Conspiracy Theory

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) responded to new allegations on Thursday that she had told friends that she married her brother in an apparent attempt to defraud the U.S. education system by claiming that she was the victim of a conspiracy theory and by attacking Meghan McCain.

Omar tweeted out two screenshots of tweets from McCain, one that called out socialist Senator Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) supporters for some of their online behavior and the other that highlighted The Daily Mail’s explosive story from today on the new allegations made against Omar.

“The same people who chastise the progressive movement regularly traffic in anti-Muslim smears and hate speech against me and those I represent,” Omar claimed. “It’s almost as if they don’t genuinely care about online harassment.”

Omar then promoted a conspiracy theory, claiming, “Paying people to generate fake new stories in order to delegitimize me and those I represent isn’t a good look. Desperation is a sad mobilizing tool.”

No evidence has emerged that anyone has been paid to make up fake stories about her allegedly marrying her brother.

The Daily Mail reported on Thursday, “Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi.”

“People began noticing that Ilhan and Southside (Hirsi) were often with a very effeminate young guy [Ahmed Elmi],’ Osman said. “He was very feminine in the way he dressed — he would wear light lipstick and pink clothes and very, very, short shorts in the summer. People started whispering about him.”

“[Hirsi] and Ilhan both told me it was Ilhan’s brother and he had been living in London but he was mixing with what were seen as bad influences that the family did not like,”Osman continued. “So they sent him to Minneapolis as ‘rehab’.”

“She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers together to allow him to stay in this country,” Osman continued. “Once she had the papers they could apply for student loans. They both moved to North Dakota to go to school but she was still married to [Hirsi]. In the Somali way, the only marriage that mattered was the one in the mosque.”

“When [Hirsi] and Ilhan got married, a lot of people were invited. It was a big Islamic wedding uniting two large clans in the Minneapolis community,” Osman added. “When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it.”
