When we first started covering 'The Squad,' I remember thinking stories about Ilhan Omar marrying her brother were way over the top and surely couldn't be true. Granted, this was years ago when I was still moderately young-ish and still naive about how evil people can be. Not to mention, any time anyone on the Right even brought it up, the Left would shriek about how racist we all were and babble about conspiracy theorists and xenophobes.
Now, we all know that conspiracy theories are more right than not, but that's another post.
No, no, I was pretty convinced this was fake news ...
And, of course, like so many of these conspiracy theories, it was not fake news.
Take a look at this:

BOMBSHELL: Ilhan Omar DID marry her brother and admitted she would "do what she had to do" to get him U.S. papers, according to a Somali community leader - DailyMail pic.twitter.com/ooPZ0vAxUz

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 yet, that's what she did.
Ha.
HA HA.
Sorry, if I don't laugh, I may never stop throwing up. I can't tell you how many times some tolerant, well-meaning, kind Leftist shamed me for pointing out Ilhan committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother. And now we find out she did.

Yup. I made the same face as Harry Bōlz aka Elon Musk.
She defrauded the government. Deport her.
