We get what Ilhan Omar was trying to do here, making some melodramatic statement about her interracial marriage FINALLY BEING PROTECTED BY THE LAW … but we have to wonder if someone close to her should have tried to stop her considering how things went.
She knows we’ve all heard about her marrying her brother, right? Like, it’s joked about openly A LOT.
Anyway, she tweeted this.
It’s 2022 and finally marriages like mine will be protected by law 😔 pic.twitter.com/rdBi5Ylv96

Which marriage would that be, Ilhan? Ahem.
The sad-face emoji at the end of her tweet proves she REALLY means it and stuff.
*snort*
Her poor brother.
Marriages to your brother? https://t.co/4K3QMbhyiX

Meep.
I don’t think the bill covers incest.
— FunkyPox (@corrcomm) November 30, 2022
No, incest is still illegal.

Your first marriage is still not protected by law, not even in the Appalachian states.

Heh.
Marriages like yours? What, intramural?

Marriages between siblings are allowed now?

The law is making it legal to marry your brother?

From The Daily Mail:
‘Squad’ congresswoman Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who went on to become her second husband was in fact her brother, DailyMail.com can confirm.
And now for the first time, one of those friends has come forward to reveal exactly how Omar and Ahmed Elmi scandalized the Somali community in Minneapolis.
Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi.
But hardly anyone realized that meant marrying him.
And then there was a husband in-between … yes?
Looks like Ilhan decided to deny the snark:
God no, Celeb this sick fantasy man.
Please seek help, it’s not normal to want to marry your brother. https://t.co/v3ZBzhWBpR
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) November 30, 2022
Which only made people push it more.
So why did you marry your brother?

It’s Caleb, but if you want to call me a Celeb, I guess I won’t stop you.
