Trump repeats BS that Ilhan Omar married her brother
“Well, there’s a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it. I hear she was married to her brother. You’re asking me a question about it. I don’t know, but I’m sure that somebody would be looking at that.” – Donald Trump

On the bright side, a CNN reporter asked him if he ever attended any parties with Jeffrey Epstein with young girls present. He looked up, said it was going to rain and walked off without an answer.

We don't know that it's BS, OP. It's awfully difficult nailing down personal details about refugees from war-torn countries. Harder yet when the principal parties aren't talking about it.
But here's the thing: the claim first came up on a Twin Cities Somali community online forum. At the time, there was at least one other Somali candidate running in the primary for the DFL (Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party) nomination. So the forum members were discussing these candidates from their community, and this came up. Somebody posted a series of photos from Omar's family's social media accounts showing a guy with the family who was identified as a member of her family - her brother. And then someone said that happened to have been the guy she married.
Somebody tipped off a conservative blogger in the Twin Cities about the discussion and photos. He took screenshots and wrote a blog entry about it, which is when it hit the local news. The photos were promptly removed from the family's social media.
The major local newspaper recently investigated this story. While they were unable to prove that she married her brother, they were also unable to disprove it, in large part because Ilhan and her family are refusing to cooperate. And there's enough details to the claim to not dismiss it out of hand, which is why the story won't go away.
Not to mention that she did commit tax fraud by filing joint returns with a man who was not at the time her legal husband. And then she used campaign money to pay for the lawyer to take care of that, which is yet another no-no.
So we can't say that she married her brother, but we also can't say that her hands are perfectly clean. All we can really say is the DFL did a shitty job of pre-screening this candidate and they most certainly have cause to regret that now. It'll be interesting to see if the Somali community fields another candidate to challenge her in the primary.

I didn't understand the outrage around Trump's suggestions, which I have seen described as unfounded, BS, and outlandish, until I read this thread. I didn't think he was suggesting she fucks her brother, I thought he was suggesting that she committed immigration fraud. Which is an unproven allegation, but I wouldn't call it unfounded, outlandish or BS. She married the guy rumored to be her brother in between her second in third kids with her first husband. The suggestion that he is her brother may be nothing more the salacious smearing. But is it really outlandish to think she probably participated in a green card marriage?
I don't know if Trump does this on purpose, or by accident. But it seems to work for him. He makes one statement, and it is interpreted in two completely different ways. He made Ilhan Omar a victim and got his haters more enraged, then their anger reinforces his supporters' conviction that than anyone who criticizes Trump has TDS and the media is against him. I really don't think he can be that clever, but he keeps doing it.

• In 2002, Omar, then 19, religiously married Ahmed Hirsi, but not legally. Omar and Hirsi had two children, but in 2008, they obtained a religious divorce. The following year, in 2009, Omar married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi both religiously and legally.
Little is known about Elmi, other than that Omar has referred to him as a "British citizen" and that he attended high school in the Minneapolis area and, like Omar, later attended North Dakota State University.
• In 2011, Omar and Elmi divorced religiously, but remained married legally. In 2012, Omar and Hirsi reconciled and had a third child. In 2017, Omar legally divorced Elmi, and the following year, she legally married Hirsi.
• In 2016, as Omar was seeking a state House seat, the conservative website AlphaNewsMN, followed by other ideological sites, posted a screenshot of an Instagram post — since deleted — that was allegedly uploaded by Elmi on June 12, 2012, shortly after Omar gave birth to her third child. The caption of the photograph identified Elmi as holding the baby girl, calling her "nieces." To some, this suggested a sibling relationship.

Ilhan Omar and her mysterious and sham marriage
Kim Priestap 17 hours ago
If you’re not living under a rock, you saw yesterday, just before he got on a plane to fly to North Carolina for his first Keep America Great rally, President Trump let drop what many on Twitter and Facebook have been discussing for a while now: Ilhan Omar may have entered into a sham marriage with her brother that was part of an immigration scam.
David Steinberg has been researching and reporting on this for a while now. Today, he published what he calls the smoking gun that proves his points. Here’s a portion:
In 1995, Ilhan entered the United States as a fraudulent member of the “Omar” family.
That is not her family. The Omar family is a second, unrelated family which was being granted asylum by the United States.
The Omars allowed Ilhan, her genetic sister Sahra, and her genetic father Nur Said to use false names to apply for asylum as members of the Omar family.
Ilhan’s genetic family split up at this time. The above three received asylum in the United States, while Ilhan’s three other siblings — using their real names — managed to get asylum in the United Kingdom.
Ilhan Abdullahi Omar’s name, before applying for asylum, was Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
Her father’s name before applying for asylum was Nur Said Elmi Mohamed. Her sister Sahra Noor’s name before applying for asylum was Sahra Nur Said Elmi. Her three siblings who were granted asylum by the United Kingdom are Leila Nur Said Elmi, Mohamed Nur Said Elmi, and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.

Details are easily available online, but the gist is that she supposedly left her husband to marry Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British citizen, who people claim was her brother who she was trying to scam a green card for.
But journalists have seen copies of official paperwork that don't show anyone with that name as a brother, adopted or otherwise, and the guy went back to the UK in 2011 and doesn't seem to have been keen on staying in the US. A guy so desperate to get a green card that he'd marry his own sister wouldn't give up so quickly, you'd think.
Anyway, the whole story showed up on some anonymous forum and immediately a right-wing nutjob blog picked up on it, claiming they'd been tipped off, so I suspect it's just racist right-wing smear tactics.

[quote]Also, if Ahmed Elmi were truly Omar’s brother, why would he have needed to take the drastic step of marrying her in order to secure a path to U.S. citizenship? U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) policies qualify immigrants as eligible to apply for permanent residency status (and later become naturalized citizens) if they are the “spouse of a U.S. citizen” or the “brother or sister of a U.S. citizen.” Why would Omar commit a federal crime and risk a prison sentence (and possibly her own citizenship status) in order to provide her brother with the opportunity to apply for something he would already have been eligible to seek?

It most likely was not a real marriage, though. Address records show Ilhan Omar and both of her husbands all sharing the same address in Fargo, North Dakota for three years. Judging from the photos from his Instagram page the brother appears to be gay, which explains why Omar’s actual husband was OK with the situation. There’s also some sketchy stuff regarding tax filings and FAFSA applications and other legal papers she signed attesting to which of the men was her husband.
What I don’t get is this - why do any of it in the first place? Why did her brother have to attend the University of North Dakota? Couldn’t he have gone to school in the UK? Or maybe, I don’t know, just gotten a regular student visa?

You may legitimately disagree that this is suggestive, or you may have an agenda. If you had to bet your life savings, would you bet that she didn't commit immigration fraud?

R89, R88 here. I didn't know tax fraud is worse than immigration fraud. I wouldn't think so, you could just claim to be confused. But it definitely sounds like she did it (both). I've included one link, but I've seen in several places. I think the most compelling argument that she did NOT commit immigration fraud is her second husband / rumored brother's British citizenship. Why you would go to such an extreme length for someone who is a British citizen? But I am not sure where the British citizen info came from. Maybe he wasn't. Overall, I think it is extremely unlikely she did not commit fraud. It might have been under circumstances that would make her sympathetic, but I think she did it.

All of this "I'm hearing that ..." or "there is suspicion that ..." or "it seems to suggest that ..." or "I'm not sure but I think ..." stuff sure sounds like innuendo and a smear campaign to discredit Omar. and distract from the real issue, which is the racism of Trump and the deplorables. It reminds me of the the crazy Pizzagate rumors. Whenever you would try to argue with one of the Pizzagate lunatics, they would say, "It may not be true, but it sure seems suspicious. Take a look at what this website is saying ..."
If Omar married her brother, or committed tax fraud or immigration fraud or some other offense, it will be uncovered and reported in a reputable news outlet (not in The Washington Examiner or some right-wing blog or fake news site) and she will have to answer for it. Until then, it's all just innuendo. It's not relevant and I don't care. I don't live in her district. She's not my representative. But Trump (sadly) is my president and is supposed to represent all of us. Nothing Omar has said or done justifies Trump's treatment of her. Nothing she has said or done excuses Trump's racism. The only issue here is Trump, not Omar.

I'm far more concerned about someone rationalizing/dismissing bigotry and hatred due to the source's skin color/beliefs.

R100, the penalties for tax fraud are usually greater than for the immigration fraud you allege.
Also, tax fraud in the scenario you suggest would be easily provable. The reason tax fraud brings down mobsters and other criminals is that it is more black and white than most crimes--and the government has the evidence on file.
It is odd that no political opponent nor the current administration has used tax fraud to bring down Omar. And in the scenario you suggest, if there is no tax fraud then there is no reason to suspect that the second marriage was fraudulent.
I know we are not supposed to apply logic or reason to any of this, but still...

Omar being fined for filing fraudulent tax returns just happened last month, so not sure how her opponents could have brought it up during the election.

I did not know any of this about Omar...but with all the fraud and possible immigration issues she sounds like a Trump in training. No wonder he hates her.
I guess it just bears out what they say about how he never accuses anyone of a crime he himself did not commit.
