Media outlets scrambled to prove false the accusation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) married her brother after President Donald Trump mentioned it, but none have been able to definitively reach an answer, largely due to Omar's unwillingness to provide information.(Snip)National media had largely kept away from judging the merits of the accusation that she was related to her second husband, which have circulated since her entry into politics in 2016, but after Trump's comment many came to quick conclusions. CNN's Jim Acosta jumped in immediately to criticize Trump for diving in on "disgusting lies." The Daily Beast‘s

Nonsense! She did not marry her brother!
She married a baboon who just happens to resemble her brother. So let's end this witch hunt right now.

To add another fillip, bro looks, in multiple photos and selfies, to be tres gay. In a Muslim country, he’d be swan diving off a highrise...

I. She filed for a divorce, albeit including fraudulent information, from Elmi.
2. This was apparently necessary ONLY if she was legally married to Elmi.
3. Elmi filed immigration documents indicating that he was married to her.
4. Perhaps these fact checkers should not rely in information from her and actually check verifiable facts.
5. If these fact checkers are not up to it, perhaps in light of a string of federal felonies the FBI might check.
6. Just a silly suggestion from a rank amateur but DNA samples from Ilhan and Elmi might be useful.

If she was a white Republican, she would have been declared guilty by now!

The media asked Mr. Trump. He answered that he had heard rumors surrounding Omar's marriage(s), but didn't know anything about it. How much more honest can that be? How does that inflame anything -- racism, sexism, Islamophobia, etc.?
By comparison, Mr. Trump has been accused of being a traitor, a tax cheat, and so many other things they can hardly be counted. The media brings them up all the time -- without evidence. But that is okay in Commie Land.
Was Mr. Trump expected to deny suggestions that Omar had illegitimate marriages? How would he know that to be the truth? There was no way Mr. Trump could answer this type question to the satisfaction of the media UNLESS he endorsed Omar.

Simple fix Ilhan, show us your birth certificate. Were you born an Omar or a Nur Said Elmi? If an Elmi then indeed you married your brother or cousin. Of course this is deja vu, is Omar another Barry?

#1, she did marry her brother for immigration purposes. She committed fraud on multiple scales. Try taxes, immigration, etc. There should be an investigation and if she is found to be guilty, then she should be deported.

The media can't (will not check) find any evidence of a marriage to her brother, but they can divine President Trump's thoughts and intentions.

That NYTimes lie that she could not have married her brother because she is 3 yrs older than him & her mom died when she was only 2 is hilarious!
She was 2&1/2 when he was born, not 3.
Mom still had 6 months to die & Ilhan still be 2 yrs old.

Love how the Clown News Networks', Jim Acosta, immediately jumped into this, simply to criticized Trump who happened to answer a question posed by the media to him. Yet, they don't actually try to answer the question at hand, did she marry her brother?
By trying not answer, they know, and just don't want to declare this information.
CNN must be so proud of their bottom-of-the-barrel status when their "star" is Jim Acosta.

First, I doubt that Somalia issues birth certificates.
Second, I read a comprehensive article from the Minneapolis Star Tribune (I think that's their name) about Omar family questions.
The reporters seemed to conclude that there was immigration fraud by the family.
Odd that their editor would not agree.

The best research/investigation re Ilhan’s family immigration/ her marriages/ etc. was done by David Steinberg of Power Line. Scott Johnson published Instalment 5 the other day (and it was posted here). Included in that article were links to the first 4 instalments. Steinberg’s work on this is considered good enough, strong enough evidence, that it could be used to open a formal investigation. It is brilliant, thorough, he even includes images of documents. Go and find it. Worth your time…
This article is tongue in cheek. That is what that flummoxed is all about. Normally the lefty fact-checkers are all over anything PDJT says, even a vague answer like he gave here. But they have nowhere to go on this one - nowhere that won’t jam the works for Ilhan and spoil their narrative.

Like #8 said, her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. If she was a Republican she would be in jail. (per David Steinberg in the Powerline blog).

She lied to get into the country in the first place. That alone should be grounds for rescinding her citizenship. Isn't that what they did with the Nazis? They didn't deport them over their evil doings, they deported them for lying to get into the country.

Her denials and claims of "racism" are starting to sound very much like Jussie Smollett's denials.

Will Acosta call it Disgusting Truth, when these allegations are proven to be true. I'm guessing he will just crawl back into that hole he emerges from on occasion.

Omar is checkmated. She can't make any move. She can't admit her husband is her brother (he's not) because marrying your brother in Minnesota will get you 10 years in prison. She can't admit her husband is NOT her brother, because that would be admitting that the Omar family she claims to belong to, and the Omar man she is married to (who is not her brother) are not her real family, Omar is not her real name, and she committed fraud on both her application for asylum and her application for US citizenship, and that would get her citizenship and asylum revoked and a plane ticket back to Somalia. So, she's in a pickle. Checkmate.

She's gotta be sweating even more in that hijab. We have yet to see ANY of President Trump's 'hunches' turn out to be wrong. Jussayin…….
