Her corruption is off the charts, but she knows she can do whatever she wants because she ticks not just one or two but three of the Left’s favored victimhood boxes: she is black, Muslim, female. To criticize her is a perfect trifecta of “right-wing” sins: it’s racist, sexist, and “Islamophobic.”
“Ilhan Omar’s campaign cash to consultants dipped by millions after halting payments to husband’s firm,” by Joe Schoffstall, Fox News, February 9, 2023:
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign cash to consultants fell by millions of dollars after she removed her husband’s firm from her payroll, a Fox News Digital review of federal filings has found.
The Minnesota lawmaker dished out millions of dollars from her campaign’s coffers to the E Street Group, a political consulting firm co-owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, during the 2020 election cycle. Mynett’s group had raked in half of Omar’s total expenditures, making it the committee’s largest vendor during that election.
But after facing increased scrutiny over the payments, Omar abruptly changed course from her once defiant state and cut off the cash flow to the E Street group shortly before the switch into the 2022 cycle. Now, her campaign pays far less for the same services to various other firms, calling into question the high nature of the E Street Group’s past charges.
Following her husband’s firm’s removal, Omar’s expenses towards similar services fell by around $2 million, according to a review of Federal Election Commission filings.
Omar’s committee previously paid the E Street Group nearly $3 million for its work, including advertisements across multiple platforms, direct mail, video production and editing, fundraising consulting, and research, among other services.
But during the 2022 election cycle, Omar’s campaign only doled out around $1 million to a handful of Washington, D.C., Minnesota, and California-based firms for those same services, a search of her filings shows.
One of the groups that picked up the fundraising slack, Barnett Strategies LLC, is owned by Rachel Barnett, a former director at the E Street Group.
Business records show that Barnett registered the company two months after Omar’s final check went to her husband’s firm. However, Barnett Strategies has received far less cash ($100,000) than the E Street Group for its previous share of the campaign’s fundraising endeavors ($300,000). Omar’s husband does not appear to have any link to the group outside his former employee owning the company.
And after Omar axed her husband’s firm from her campaign’s payroll, its total percentages toward the same services also drastically plummeted. In 2020, the E Street Group pulled in around 50 percent of the campaign’s $5.7 million in distributions; in 2022, the other companies performing those same services took in around 30 percent of the campaign’s $3.2 million in total expenditures, the filings show….

What a rotten human being she is. To the core just as Islam is rotten to the core—ditto for Leftism.
Molly says
Is this husband, still her brother?
Wellington says
I believe Omar has “moved on.”

Wellington -you are exactly right! She is a ROTTEN PERSON!

Some Black female should call her out…that way, only one objection could be raised about the criticism and when the actions of mozlums over the world are made more available to more people, the less effect that charge would have. In fact. if ,more than one Black female, and other Blacks, more females. speak the Truth about this snake, the better.
No mozlums can be expected to speak it against her lies and fraud, but Black women, women and Black people…all need to speak up and expose her for the lying fraud she is.
More people need to be made aware that the fake phobia is nothing more than a weapon of lies coined to silence anyone speaking the Truth about islam and its goals.
Is there a way to find out if her husband is getting some of that money going to other firms? It’s hard to imagine that he’s been cut off, even for her to stop the complaints and investigations.
ed says
How did she get into the country in the first place?
somehistory says
Her father, who was a terrorist in somalia, found out that bill clinton was allowing people from somalia to come into the U.S. He then found out that his name would not permit him to enter, but that the name “omar” was an acceptable one for entry.
So the terrorist, named “elmi,” changed his name and that of his family, to “omar.” They were allowed in due to fraud.
ilhan omar’s real name is ilhan elmi. Immigration fraud, a.k.a. lying on the application for entry was her way in.
dazzleme says
Why was nothing ever done about the immigration fraud, for her and how she got her brother into the country? Why are certain people exempt from our laws? How is she in our government, when she came here illegally?

I can’t answer why the authorities never held her accountable…fraud, lying to Congress, incest, meeting with officials from other nations on her own, rather than through the legal channels, etc. She’s guilty and they know it.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
She should be investigated for all her crimes, from immigration to campaign finance, and go to jail. Force the Dems in her district to elect someone else
Deodata says
I”m in the UK, but I thought that she was elected because the area she represents has a majority of Muslims? They are never going to vote for anyone else, no matter what she does.
somehistory says
The area is overrun with mozlums…many from somalia. But, it could happen if she went to prison, or was deported due to the immigration fraud that brought her here, then they would have to elect someone else. If the dem party no longer supported her, but chose another dem, she could be out on her ugly ears.
dazzleme says
Somehistory – she and her family (whoever that may be) needs to be thrown out of this country on her @$$ back to Somalia to never return. I don’t think people in her country would appreciate her, women are nothing!
somehistory says

Unless he sister is still here, she is the only one now here…her brother witn to the eu.K. after she helped him get university courses; and her terrorist father died.
I believe she has another brother//brother=in-law in somaila in the government there. If she returned, she would have to answer to those mozlums who see her guilt. …according to their version of islam. That would be fun, no doubt.
Joseph says
The 5th district is mostly inner city. And the surrounding suburbs has a strong habit of virtue signaling. Her campaign was implicated in collecting signed but blank mail in ballots from the Somali community. $15 per ballot was allegedly paid for them.
What is most shocking for me is her anti Semitic position. And winning the election from a district that promotes tolerance.

Scotsman48 says
This is a silly wee bitch that screamed about demanding to be treated equally and then screamed even louder after she was actually treated equally.
People are fooled by this Con, this Scam, as if because she is female, African and muslim should give her special credits when actually allowing her into the USA and then into Congress and then having the Law changed so she can wear her rag on her head should be special credits enough, now its time for her to return to Somalia and teach the folks over there about all the things she learned in America.
OLD GUY says
Omar the SCUM BAG! Personnel opinion she is an ISLAMIC JIHADIST plant, sent here to disrupt and destroy America. Send her back to Somalia with what she had on her back when she entered America illegally to begin with along with her brother/husband.
dazzleme says
Old Guy – well said, I would love to see her thrown out of our country on her butt with what’s on her back and nothing more.
