The media has been gushing over the recent election of a Somali-American Muslim in Minnesota, but some disturbing facts about this politician’s past have surfaced that could sound the death knell for her political career.

Ilhan Omar secured the nomination of the state’s Democrat Party to serve as the representative of House District 60B in the state legislature by coming in first in a three-way race that included 22-term incumbent Phyllis Kahn.

State and national media hailed Omar’s victory as “historic,” but other reports suggested that the victor had a past in marriage and immigration fraud."

"Omar reportedly married Ahmed Hirsi, the father of her three children, in 2002, according to Power Line. However, that wasn’t her last marriage, as she allegedly married again in 2009, but this time to her own brother — Ahmen Nur Said Elmi.

The reports suggested that the marriage between Omar and her brother, a British citizen, was to assist his entry into the United States.

If true, Omar would be guilty of violating Minnesota’s laws against bigamy, which is defined in Minn. Stat. § 609.355 as “knowingly having a prior marriage that is not dissolved” while also “contracting a marriage in this state.”

This offense carries a punishment of up to five years in prison or a fine up to $10,000.

Bigamy — and incest, I would argue — are problematic enough alone, but if the reports are true, this newly nominated Democrat is also potentially guilty of fraudulently circumventing the immigration process.

Of course, the media focus on a person’s race, gender, religious affiliation or background and forget that they have a duty to be the “watchdogs” for things like political corruption.

Let’s forget about electing officials with integrity, honesty and respect for American laws; as long as they are “diverse” and “historic,” that’s all that matters … right?"
