The congresswoman's defense of her marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi just got a LOT HARDER to sell.
The Minnesota congresswoman who calls herself "Ilhan Omar" just had her decade-old narrative blown up by her ex-husband.
Federal investigators have long suspected that the Democrat congresswoman's 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, her alleged brother, was a sham intended to help the effeminate British-Somali national secure permanent residency in the United States.
Donald Trump was supposedly threatening democracy.
His Justice Department was interfering with an election.
Republicans were preparing to reject the will of the voters before a single ballot had been counted.
The controversy centers on Alaska’s U.S. Senate race, where Democratic operatives recruited a second candidate named same as the first, Dan Sullivan,to confuse voters into selecting him instead of the Republican incumbent.

This, from a New York Times report, is that the administration of fellow Democrat Barack Obama investigated her, and "found evidence that her marriage may have been fraudulent in 2016."

Obviously, even having a little girl sing the anthem wasn't enough to get these players to stick around for two minutes.
So much for being role models to the next generation of young women.
