Figures. Ilhan Omar lied about a story of “injustice” she told a group of high school students a few years ago when she was Councilwoman of Minneapolis. I mean come on, is anyone really surprised? She lied about being married to her brother for immigration fraud purposes too. Why wouldn’t she lie about anything else?
Turns out Omar basically plagiarized the plot of “Les Miserables.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) admitted to fabricating a story on a purported “injustice” to a group of students five years ago during her tenure as a Minneapolis city councilman, it was revealed Monday.
The Washington Post piece detailing Omar’s “complicated” relationship with the U.S. featured a brief mention of a story Omar told a group of 400 high school students at Richfield High School in Minneapolis five years ago. She told the students she witnessed a “sweet, old … African American lady” in a courtroom who spent a weekend in jail for stealing $2 loaf of bread to feed her hungry granddaughter.She told them the woman was fined $80 – a fine she was incapable of paying. Omar told the students she “couldn’t control” her emotions because she “couldn’t understand how a roomful of educated adults could do something so unjust.” She claimed she shouted, “Bullsh*t!” in the courtroom.
