Abdihakim Osman, a Somali-American activist in Minnesota, and close personal friend of Ilhan Omar is admitting that not only did Ilhan Omar marry her own brother, but she did so in order to commit immigration fraud to help her brother (Ahmed Elmi) stay in the country. They were divorced a few years ago, and Ahmed Elmi fled to the UK.
Abdihakim Osman spilled the beans, and now Ilhan Omar and Democrats are trying to distract away from their latest scandal. Abdihakim Osman deserves a lot of credit for coming forward and spilling the beans.
Ilhan Omar has a face only her brother could love.
And now for the first time one of those friends has come forward to reveal exactly how Omar and Ahmed Elmi scandalized the Somali community in Minneapolis.
Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi.
But hardly anyone realized that meant marrying him.
‘No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the marriage certificate years later,’ Osman, 40, exclusively told DailyMail.com.
Osman’s revelations are sure to renew calls for an investigation into the Minnesota freshman representative who has repeatedly refused to answer questions on her marriage to Elmi.
She originally said the idea that the spouses were also siblings were ‘baseless, absurd rumors’, accusing journalists of Islamophobia, but has since stayed quiet.
