Oh to be fooled not just once, but twice!
After several years of avoiding the subject — in July 2019, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune published a report on Ilhan Omar, her tax fraud crimes, her illegal use of campaign funds to cover travel costs and touched on her alleged marriage to her younger brother.
The Star-Tribune reported that the Omar campaign launched a concerted effort to quash details on her marriage to her brother-lover.
Obviously, Omar was afraid that information about her wedding to her brother in 2009 would go public.
The Gateway Pundit posted several updates on Ilhan’s story at the time. Our sources were hesitant to go public due to concerns of retribution from certain segments in the US Somali community.
What is interesting is that as Ilhan continues to deny her marriage to her brother there is clear evidence that she is lying.
As TGP reported at the time the birth date of her husband-brother on the wedding certificate matches the birth date on her brother’s school papers.
A TGP source in the Somaliland and Somali community sent us this information in 2019.
The story about Ilhan marrying her brother is well known and is a very common thing among Somali people in the diaspora. Ilhan had a child with her real husband while married to her brother to get him US residency and ultimately obtain US citizenship. This is clear example of someone who does not respect the laws of this country and probably thinks that the Sharia marriage with her actual husband is the one that counts.
Her brother is a bit of an issue for bigots in both our clan and the Somali community. His lifestyle was so troublesome for her support from the Somali community, that he was made to relocate back to Europe, somewhere in England I believe. Ilhan bills herself as a progressive to to one side, and conservative to the other.
You can see how the issue of her brother’s lifestyle was an issue for her during her election. In case her brother’s sexuality is not well known, he is gay.
Brother Elmi followed several gay personalities on Instagram at the time, including: gaymenonthego, queeringsomalinimo, and how-gay-Iam:
Here are a few from his list that he follows.
Obviously, The Gateway Pundit does not have an issue with her brother’s sexuality.
And, of course, Ilhan must have been heartbroken when she found out.
But this does add more fodder to the reports that Ilhan’s marriage to her brother was a sham and a scam on the US immigration system.
