Americans expect their representatives to uphold the highest standards of integrity—call me old-fashioned, but shouldn’t that include not marrying your own brother? Yet here we are, watching another scandal unfold while the establishment pretends nothing’s wrong.

For years, whispers have circulated about certain members of Congress and their past dealings. The media? They called anyone asking questions a conspiracy theorist. Well, guess what just happened.

From ‘Daily Mail’:

Abdihakim Osman, a friend of Omar’s and the person behind a Facebook blog that comments on Somali issues, told the outlet that, “She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers together to allow him to stay in this country. Once she had the papers they could apply for student loans. They both moved to North Dakota to go to school but she was still married to [Hirsi]. In the Somali way, the only marriage that mattered was the one in the mosque.”

A Somali Leader Outs Omar’s Biggest Secret

Let that sink in for a moment. A community insider—not some random blogger—just confirmed what the media spent years denying. Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly married her brother Ahmed Elmi in 2009, and this bombshell comes straight from Abdihakim Osman, who’s been part of Minneapolis’s Somali community since 2004.

This isn’t political mudslinging. Osman personally knows the players involved, and his disclosure is devastating: the marriage was specifically engineered to commit student loan fraud. Think about that—your tax dollars, funding an illegal scheme.

Here’s the kicker: they actually hunted down a Christian pastor who had no clue he was marrying siblings. An imam would have recognized them and refused, so they found someone outside their community. While Omar’s legitimate Islamic wedding to her first husband drew 100-150 guests, this sham ceremony? Complete radio silence. As Osman revealed, “No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the marriage certificate years later.”

The Con Goes Deeper Than Anyone Imagined

What makes this scandal particularly galling is how calculated everything was. Omar never actually separated from her first husband—talk about having your cake and eating it too. In Somali culture, only the mosque marriage counted as legitimate. The civil marriage to her brother? Pure paperwork manipulation to game American systems.

We’re not talking about some minor technicality here. This represents both immigration fraud and student loan fraud—a double theft from taxpayers who play by the rules. When lawmakers swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, shouldn’t they have actually followed those laws themselves? (Apparently that’s a controversial question these days.)

The mainstream press ignored this story for years, dismissing anyone who dared question Omar’s marriage records as xenophobic. Now, with a respected community leader confirming these allegations, voters deserve answers. How many tax dollars went to this scheme? What other secrets remain buried?

Congress must investigate this credible testimony of fraud. If we can’t trust elected officials to follow the law, how can we trust them to write laws for the rest of us? The truth has finally emerged from within Omar’s own community—now it’s time for accountability.
