That Ilhan Omar can play the victimization card as good as anyone in this country. Yet, she and her “third” husband have been getting hundreds of thousands of dollars through her third husband’s political consulting firm. That includes a whopping $189,000 windfall in March — just weeks after they announced they had tied the knot. Not bad for a refugee who claims she is the victim of racial and religious prejudice.. Darn those campaign finance laws!

Rep. Ilhan Omar has continued quietly funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to her new husband’s consulting film, including a $189,000 windfall in March — just weeks after they announced they had tied the knot, campaign data shows.
The payments between the Minneapolis Democratic congresswoman and Tim Mynett prompted at least one ethics complaint in 2019 after The Post first revealed allegations — made by Mynett’s then-wife in her divorce filing — that Omar was having an affair with the member of her political consulting team, who was at the time married to another woman. Omar was married to her second husband at the time.
But that doesn’t appear to have stopped the now-married couple, with Mynett’s E Street Group collecting $292,814.99 from his wife’s campaign this year for digital advertising, fundraising consulting and research services, according to the Federal Election Commission filings.
