Uh, I don't know if there's fear in the heart of Ilhan Omar, but maybe there should be.

She feels like it is her duty as a US congresswoman to stump for Somalia, and she has said that before.

And she is of course the subject of a Department of Justice probe into a couple of things.

Uh, what role did she play, if any? [laughs] I had to say that just, you know, so I don't get in trouble.

Uh, what role did she play in the massive $9 billion fraud in various Minnesota social programs? Uh, people tied to the Feeding Our Future fraud up there were people that worked very closely with Ilhan Omar.

The other thing is, she sort of has a, shall we say, adventurous marital history.

Uh, Ilhan Omar had what they call a faith-based Islamic marriage in 2002 to a gentleman by the name of Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi.

Okay? So they were married in an Islamic ceremony in 2002, and then they were married in a civil ceremony in 2018.

That's probably a good thing because Ilhan Omar married another dude, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, [laughs] in 2009.

That ended in 2011 so she could go back to the father of her three children, Mr. Hirsi.

Uh, they got divorced in 2011, and then a civil divorce in 2017, and officially dissolved later in 2017.

You might remember Tim Mynett as the guy who was making, well, for a while anyway, millions of dollars in the wine business in California.

That was when Ilhan Omar filled out her congressional paperwork on her net worth and said she was worth, uh, between $6 and $30 million.
