The Patriot Post® · Video: Somali Community Leader Exposes Omar's Sham Marriage

“Squad” Congresswoman Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who went on to become her second husband was in fact her brother, DailyMail.com can confirm. 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 U.S., 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.
