"POC Privilege". People are afraid to call out her lies, ignorance, racism and bigotry-for fear of being called a racist themselves. She appears to have been playing the "race card" much of her life-and has gotten away with it. Until she tangled with someone that really doesn't care about appearing politically correct. She, and the rest of the vile bigots of "the Squad" appear shocked to have finally, perhaps for the first time in their lives, been called out for what they are. I support Trump "calling them out"-it was LONG past time someone did. I do NOT support his foolish "go back to where you are from" statement. A little more thought before hitting the "send" button is a good thing.
I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't rise to each of her positions using the same tactic. If you think about it, it's a form of manipulation AND bullying. And if the garbage that comes out of her mouth was said by anyone else, it would be called hate speech. Personally, I think she and the other women in the *squad* are nuts, but that won't stop the apologists from defending her and her antics.

I don’t think it’s all that outrageous a hypothesis given the old Instagram posts and photos and the whole “my husband disappeared, I can’t find him, grant me a divorce” while he was designing websites for her sister’s business. Something isn’t right here.
I think that was her motive, as well and it's odd to me that people aren't willing to investigate anyone when it looks like they've done something illegal. They're in complete denial that legitimate news sources are saying something is wrong with this picture.

That’s how bipartisan people have become, my friend. Progressives will defend a person who in ordinary circumstances they’d join in laying a beat down to if that person stands against the GOP or Donald Trump. Hard line conservatives will do the same. The extremists ignore the actual content of these stories I believe; they quickly scan for content and blast out retorts based on “sides” only.
I find stories like this fascinating. The drama! The intrigue! I never buy into conspiracies, but this one has legs. It’s going to be interesting to see what pans out.
"She hasn't offered proof of anything.." Why should she? We all saw where that got Obama.
Obama was adopted by his step-dad, Soetoro, according to the Soetoro's divorce decree which listed both he and his sister as children of the divorcing parties, so that's who should have been listed as his father on his Hawaiian birth certificate as birth certificates are amended upon adoption. There has never been any explanation for why he wasn't.
As to your other objections, it's already known that Omar had to file amended tax returns and pay several thousands of dollars in additional tax and penalties for filing jointly for 2 years with a man when she was actually married to another.

I know, and it makes me sick. Party loyalty and excuse making is why we have such lousy politicians. Loyalists will make excuses for everything - a trend that started decades ago and is getting worse.
I'm also a fan of investigative reporting. It makes me wonder how this could have been missed all this time, however.
Ilhan Omar entered this country illegally (not her fault she was 12 years old at the time) in 1995. Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. The Elmis (her real family - a father and 5 children) who lived in a Kenyan refuge camp, split up in 1995. Her 3 siblings (Leila Nur Said Elmi, Mohamed Nur Said Elmi, and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi) were given asylum in the UK and eventually got UK citizenship. The Omars, (an unrelated family that was being given asylum in the US) allowed Ilhan's father, her sister Sahra and Ilhan to use false names and apply for asylum as part of their family.
You can read the rest of the story here where all of the proof is laid out for you in the sequence of it happening when she was an adult here:
If she's smart, she sure doesn't show it as she left a big legal paper trail and social media postings (which she subsequently deleted) that make the case against her.
The bottom line is she perjured herself 8 times (documentation exists - see link above) and Minnesota law allows up to 5 years in prison for each time she did it. But she could also be in trouble for federal tax fraud, student loan fraud, immigration fraud and marriage fraud.
I think the person who may not finish their term is her...that is, if the law is applied fairly.
I tried to read this blog, but it is extremely poorly written and hard to follow. Comes off as a lot of hearsay with no verifiable evidence. I also would not trust the Powerline blog, according to the site MediaBias/Fact Check: "Overall, we rate Power Line strongly right biased based on story selection that always favors the right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to the use of poor sources that have failed numerous fact checks"

The trouble stems from places like Somalia, where government record-keeping is loose and non-committal. People arrive here with very few identifying documents, requiring Immigration to take a lot of information as truth, with no way to verify it. It’s not too terribly difficult for families to bring in extra members who *aren’t* actually members. And then on top of that you have tight knit Muslim communities here in the US that operate a lot of community affairs and such outside of US law. Weddings are performed without licenses, disagreements are worked out with Islamic dispute resolution. They internalize much of their own affairs, which makes official record keeping a real pain.

Let it go, Obama is not a Muslim and he was not born in Kenya

Ah, got it. I'd suggest that we limit all of our political offices to people who are born in this country, but I'm sure people will accuse me of some *ism* or *ic*.

Refugees don't hit US soil unless their identity can be verified, they go through a very vigorous vetting.
