Watch Omar respond to questions on taxes, husband/brother

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has been a bomb-thrower in her few months in Congress. She's accused corporate officials of putting children in cages, even though they didn't. She accused an administration official of a lack of integrity, without giving him a chance to respond.

But she's also been plagued by scandals. She was fined for using campaign money illegally, and there is growing evidence she married a man, possibly her brother, in an illegal immigration scheme.

Now you can watch her response to these issues:

It was a reporter for The Rebel TV who approached her and asked, "Ilhan, if I could get a moment of your time."

That's about the totality of her response, except for an accompanying aide who said she doesn't respond to "ambush" interviews.

"Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar usually has so much to say. In fact, she never really shuts up. which is why her behavior when confronted about the darkening blemishes on her otherwise flawless moral character is so remarkable," explained Twitter news aggregator Twitchy.

"What's wrong, Ilhan? Cat got your tongue?"

WND reported this week Minnesota state Rep. Steve Drazkowski is urging a member of Congress to file an ethics complaint against Omar, citing a state agency's finding this month that she violated state campaign finance rules and filed federal taxes in 2014 and 2015 with her current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, while she was legally married to but separated from another man, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.

At a news conference in St. Paul, Drazkowski said Omar "appears to be a serial career criminal and should not have access to our nation's highest secrets and intelligence."

It was Drazkowski who filed the complaint with the Minnesota Campaign and Public Disclosure Board that resulted in a $500 civil fine for Omar for violating campaign finance law and a $3,469 fine for improperly using campaign funds to fix the problem.

As WND reported in March, when Omar ran for a state legislative seat in 2016 and Congress last year, she was confronted with charges that she had committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother. Omar vehemently denies the claim, and her suppression of records has hindered any official verification. Nevertheless, investigations by conservative media outlets such as Powerline, PJ Media and Alpha News have uncovered evidence that Omar has refused to rebut. She and her office have charged only that it's a private matter and inquiries from "the right" are merely motivated by "Islamophobia."

However, on Sunday, the Star Tribune reported investigative documents released by the state agency "have given fresh life to lingering questions about the marital history of Rep. Ilhan Omar and whether she once married a man — possibly her own brother — to skirt immigration laws."

Along with documenting her illegal filing of tax returns with a man who was not her legal husband, the new documents obtained by the Star Tribune reveal the Omar campaign's efforts in 2018 to keep the story of her marriage to Elmi out of the media.
