Recently, Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) held a campaign rally with a former Somali prime minister, who spoke in her favor, noting that she would “represent Somalia” and not “the interests of the American people” in Congress. His appearance has led to an ethics complaint being filed against Ilhan Omar for violating federal election laws, and fighting those charges is likely to lead her into a world of woe. More on this latest complaint filed against Ilhan Omar can be found here: “Ilhan Omar Slapped With Ethics Complaint From Conservative Watchdog Over Holding Rally With Ex-Somali PM,” by Corey Walker, Algemeiner, July 4, 2024:
US Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has been slapped with an ethics complaint by the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), a conservative watchdog group, for holding an event with former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire.
Last weekend [Jun 30], Khaire took the stage with Omar in support of her reelection campaign. AAF argued Khaire’s presence at Omar’s campaign rally constituted a violation of the US Federal Election Campaign Act and demanded the congresswoman step down from office.”
“We are deeply concerned by Ilhan Omar’s illegal campaign rally with the former prime minister of Somalia. Omar already has a long history of statements indicating her disdain for America and allegiance to Somalia, but this goes beyond statements,” the AAF wrote.
“Now her campaign has taken action to involve a foreign leader in an American election. She must resign immediately and return every dollar raised for her at this disgraceful rally,” the watchdog continued.
The organization argued Omar potentially committed two infractions against the Federal Election Campaign Act.
First, AAF alleged that the congresswoman “knowingly accepted former Somalia Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire’s services at her campaign events.” They asserted this action exceeded the “limited volunteer services permitted by a foreign national and involves impermissible decision-making.”
Of course, Omar knew that Hassan Ali Khaire would be appearing at her rally — she had no doubt requested him to come from Somalia, and arranged for payment from an entity unconnected to her campaign. She welcomed his appearance, knowing how it would galvanize the Somali-Americans in her district, and would be covered in the media, lending her stature as someone of significance beyond America’s borders.
Second, the watchdog claimed that Khaire was possibly “compensated by a prohibited source.” The organization suggested that Ka Joog, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit that focuses on “empowering Somali American youth,” organized and funded Khaire’s trip to America. AAF argued that Omar likely “knowingly accepted a corporate contribution associated with Mr. Khaire’s travel and lodging costs” with the goal of boosting voter turnout among Minnesota’s Somali-American community….
Someone had to pay the considerable expenses —the travel and lodging costs for Khaire while the former prime minister was in Minnesota. The AFF suspects that Omar arranged for payment of those expenses by a corporation that was seemingly unconnected to her campaign. This would be a clever way to get around the prohibition on corporate contributions to political campaigns.
Omar’s campaign counsel David Mitrani denied that the congresswoman violated any elections laws….
“Congresswoman Omar’s campaign had absolutely no involvement in requesting, coordinating, or facilitating Mr Khaire’s appearance or his comments, and accordingly there was no violation of law,” he continued.
So we are being asked to believe that Hassan Ali Khaire simply showed up unannounced at her rally unbeknownst to Ilhan Omar, who had absolutely nothing to do with arranging his trip to Minnesota or his appearance at her rally. How plausible is that?
Khaire’s claim that Omar’s “interests” are with Somalia rather than with the American people raised eyebrows, with critics pointing out that she has previously criticized the American Jewish community for supposedly maintaining “allegiance” to the government of Israel….
And here she is today, being praised by the former prime minister of Somalia for exactly that: her total allegiance to Somalia, and not to Minnesota or to the “interests of the American people.”
Her comments on the “dual loyalty” of American Jews are hard to stomach. After all, no one can accuse Ilhan Omar of “dual loyalty.” Her loyalty is clear: it is to Somalia, and Somalia alone. The former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire made this clear to his audience, as he stood beside her at her campaign rally, saying “Ilhan’s interests aren’t those of Minnesota or the American people, but those of Somalia.” Omar did not correct him. And the fact that such a statement would be taken by Somali-American voters as a point in her favor leads one to question their loyalty to this country.
Bringing Hassan Ali Khaire all the way from Somalia, having a corporation pay for his travel and lodging, and allowing him to engage in a significant campaign event, likely violates several Federal election laws. But worst of all is this awful truth: as Hassan Ali Khaire said, and Omar did not contradict him, her “interests aren’t those of Minnesota or the American people, but those of Somalia.” What more do we need to know about Ilhan Omar?
EAT MY TAILWIND YOU OLD BAT
and that folks is why america is doomed . thanks to democrats and most republicans . the barbarians are no longer at the gate , they are inside .
And the thankless douchbags are not only brought in, some like Ilhan are fawned over on late shows.
The bitch needs to be packed in a crate & mailed to Gaza.
Thanks Hugh !!!
Ethics charges mean nothing to any politician. Get back to us when this brother marrying immigration fraud is expelled from Congress and deported back to the cesspool she wants to represent.
Precisely.
That she was not deported over this blatant and gross violation of our Immigration Law is indication of the failure of our legal system. That act in and of only itself was more than enough to deny her legal status here. The Nation’s enemy lives inside the wire and works every day to destroy us.
Yes… I’ve been saying it for years… the dangers of satanic worshiping muslims taking Political Positions in America…
How they get voted in is beyond my understanding… unless there’s always been Election Fraud…
Voter fraud but probably just too many zombies running around. There are too many apathetic citizens who cannot be bothered to educate themselves on politicians and civics.
There are Muslims getting elected in this country is because we have allowed too many Muslims into this country. They have no intention of becoming Americans, but rather striving for Americans to be forced into Islam.
How many of the Somalis are here “temporarily”?? We need to END that crap and send every one of them back HOME! Omar needs to be TRUTHFULLY INVESTIGATED for her : Immigration Fraud, Incest “marriage” to her BROTHER, Campaign Fraud (her NON-Brother husband), and SEDITION (since she has CLAIMED her ALLEGIANCE to Somalia, NOT the USA)! So MANY areas of abuse from her and yet she’s “untouchable”?? WHY??
It’s rather apparent that the USA has been under attack by the DEMOcrats for a LONG time! It needs to end!
Also, all those lily livered R’s need to go as well! If you are not 100% FOR America then you DO NOT BELONG in Congress – OR on the bench!
I’m shocked, SHOCKED! that Ilhan Omar (D. Mogadishu) is caught up in an ethics violation investigation. This creature should not be in Congress or this country. Send her back to her s-hole country
Send her back, yes…..but first, have her properly inspected to make sure her vagina has been properly mutilated in the Muslim fashion.
Fraud Omar belongs in prison for treason.
I’m afraid that unless Trump takes the next election and Republicans the Senate and House Omar will never face a judge.
When the eventual American reckoning does occur, however, my hope is that she will be one of the firs tones stood up against the wall and experiences lead poisoning.
Since she doesn’t want to interpret or believe in our constitution and wants to establish Sharia law ! And bad mouths the American flag and everything that it stands for. I think we should charge her with the ethics violation and then send her back to the country where she came from since she doesn’t like it here.
One might wonder whether the House allowed her to swear in via the Koran instead of the Bible simply because they wanted to make her feel comfortable. Similar things have been done in Congress.
Well in her neck of the woods for certain circumstances like being gay, they do not waste time in court or lead for that matter they throw them from the roof tops. Not sure if that method is used for other crimes such as treason. Seems to us the latter is a more severe crime. She supports sharia law; here ya goooooooo
Stoning to death for her adultery would be the Sharia way!
It’s getting obvious that Democrats are thriving on the H8 America, no other Democrat/ Marxist would vote to ban her is my guess
You can rest assured the Dems will circle the wagons around her and and explain to us why hating America is how we “save our democracy”.
I’m surprised Jewish organizations haven’t targeted Omar for electoral defeat the way they did Congressman Bowman to the tune of $14. million.
