Everyone knows this. From the New York Post,
VP Vance claims Rep. Ilhan Omar ‘definitely committed immigration fraud’ by allegedly marrying brother.
In February 2009, the future Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. It was her first legal marriage. The marriage ceremony was conducted by a Christian ministesr. There is no dispute about these facts, which are recounted by the Post.
All available evidence points to Elmi being Omar’s biological brother. No evidence points away from this fact.
But I have never understood the fixation on motivation. As with my “motive unclear” series, the alleged inability to confirm a motive does not erase the underlying act.
Perhaps immigration fraud (his) was a motivation. Both likely enjoyed lower costs to attend North Dakota State Univerersity (subsidized family housing).
Either way, the underlying act was sick and unnatural and disqualified her from holding an office of public trust.
Case closed.
