A Minnesota Democrat who previously served in the state legislature said that he believes the allegations against Rep. Ilhan Omar for fraudulent activities are likely true.
Joe Radinovich wrote on social media, “Democrats should understand that the allegation is almost certainly true—whatever conclusion they draw from that point could vary—and her denials calling it a right-wing, Islamophobic or racist conspiracy are almost certainly not.”
“And then I’d be very, very careful about how I qualified on allegations around her finances—where her defense looks similar and where no meaningful questions have been answered publicly, and where any objective look at the evidence doesn’t look…great,” he added.

Omar made headlines last week when she could not provide a definitive answer as to whether or not she married her brother in order to secure him a green card.
Omar told Chris Hayes of MS Now that rumors of her marriage “started with the Somali blog. I don’t know if it still exists, but somebody put in there that, you know that he had to have been my brother or something to that effect. And, right wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it, and they just kind of went and found random people who were like, she introduced us. You know, she introduced him to us and said he was her brother. Which is, you know, insane. I mean, I don’t know those people that they talk about.”
“You were not related to him at all?” Hayes asked. “There’s not something weird kernel of truth?”
Omar neither directly confirmed nor denied Hayes’ questions, instead responding with, “Not to my knowledge.”
