Summary

Far Left Democrat Ilhan Omar May Have Married Her Brother Says Pulitzer Winning Mainstream Newspaper. Starting a few years ago rumors circulated online that far left Democrat Ilhan Omar had married her brother for immigration benefits. The story was picked up by critics of Ilhan Omar and many conservatives.

The rumors were dismissed by democrats, the media, and social justice activists as bad faith individuals trying to smear Omar.

But new documents have reignited the story and a Pulitzer Award winning news outlets has present the possibility that Ilhan Omar did in fact marry her Brother, or at the very least she married a man to expedite his Visa to the US.

Stories like this are rather surprising as many journalists are afraid to broach controversial topics out of a fear of appearing crazy or like conspiracy theorists, but sometimes conspiracies are real and a good journalist will challenge the narrative.

0:00.0	Elon Omar is a very controversial far left Democrat. She's often sided with Ocasio-Cortez
0:06.4	where she'd played by Ana Presley and others in the far left. Several years ago, a rumor was
0:11.5	circulating that she married her brother to allow him to emigrate to the U.S. much more easily.
0:16.9	She's denied this, and for the longest time it was considered just a fringe conspiracy theory.
0:22.2	But over the past several months, it's been bubbling up. And now something interesting has happened.
0:27.3	The Star Tribune, a news guard certified mainstream and left-leaning paper, is now entertaining
0:33.6	the possibility that Elon Omar actually married her own brother so that he could come to the U.S.
0:40.3	And the story's really interesting because snopes has actually covered this as well.
0:45.4	In the Snopes article, they bring up a bunch of interesting points, but they do say it's
0:49.6	unproven. Now admittedly, it's very difficult to prove a negative, but they could at least say
0:55.2	it's false or presumed false or there's no evidence, evidence, necessarily, but it's unproven.
1:00.2	Which means it actually might be real. Interestingly, in the Snopes article, they only ask questions.
1:08.1	Why would she do it? Not that she didn't. They mention that they can't prove that she did,
1:13.3	but they ask what would be the point anyway? One of the things they bring up is that as the brother
1:19.5	of a U.S. citizen, he could absolutely use that to come to the U.S. to emigrate here because
1:25.2	U.S. immigration law allows for that. But the Star Tribune actually brings this up, pointing out
1:31.7	that a spouse can come relatively quickly and a brother or sister could take up to a dozen years.
1:38.3	Actually, it's the Star Tribune now providing a motive as to why Elon Omar may have actually
1:44.7	married her brother. They also present a timeline. Within it, it appears. Elon Omar's first husband,
1:52.0	this her second husband, who people are accusing her of being her brother, may have lived
1:58.4	together at the exact same time. The whole story is very strange. So here's what we're going to do.
