The Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board have ruled that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) repeatedly violated campaign finance law by using campaign funds to pay for personal expenses while serving on the state legislature in 2016 and 2017.
The Board found that Omar used the funds for personal out-of-state travel and for help in filing joint tax returns for 2014 and 2015. The phrase ‘joint tax returns’ will become much more important as you’ll see below.
She has been ordered to personally reimburse the campaign for just under $3,500. In addition, she must pay a $500 civil penalty for using campaign funds to pay for a trip to Florida, where she received an honorarium at a conference.
“Rep. Omar must personally reimburse the Omar committee $3,469.23,” the Board report concludes. “This reimbursement payment is the total amount of campaign funds that were used for purposes not permitted by statute in 2016 and 2017. Rep. Omar must provide documentation within 30 days from the date of this order showing the deposit of the reimbursement into the Omar committee’s account.”
Hmm, maybe she was on to something when she tweeted “it’s all about the Benjamins.”
The findings are a result of a pair of complaints filed by Minnesota GOP State Rep. Steve Drazkowski who alleged that Omar had improperly used campaign funds for her own use.
“I had observed a long pattern,” Drazkowski said after filing the complaints. “Representative Omar hasn’t followed the law. She’s repeatedly trampled on the laws of the state in a variety of areas, and gotten by with it.”
That much seems to have been confirmed … but wait!
Several people noted a bombshell in the report that is being overlooked by the media.
Omar, according to the findings, filed joint tax returns with her current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, in 2014 and 2015. What makes this problematic is that she was still engaged in a civil marriage with Ahmed Nur Said Elmi up until 2017. She married Hirsi in 2018.
Fox News reports: “Tax experts say the IRS only permits joint filings if a couple is in a state that legally recognizes the couple as married.”
“A sitting congresswoman may have filed EIGHT YEARS of fraudulent, felonious, tax returns,” Steinberg added.
Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin asked her readers, ” Time to get federal IRS officials involved?”
It will be interesting to watch Nancy Pelosi dismiss this as nothing more than Omar being ignorant – you know, like she did when defending her anti-Semitism?
Paraphrasing Pelosi: Perhaps Omar just ‘has a different experience in the use of [tax laws]’ and ‘doesn’t understand that some of them are fraught with [penalties] that she didn’t realize.’

Pack that critter on a plane and fly her back to wherever Obama flew her in from!
I do believe that is called "Fraud". I do believe she has comitted a felony by falsifying her tax returns. Uh oh, you're in super deep, deep, bacon stripes. Okay, I am going to ask Santa Claus to please give me an early Christmas present, which is to see her in prison for 20 yrs. And she still is running her mouth. Well, that's one terrorist taken care of the legal way. Maybe Al Capone's ghost can talked to her about not lying on your tax returns.
Taquiyya dictates that Muslims are allowed to lie, steal, do anything to prevent the the truth coming out, that leaves Islam in a negative light. That's why no Muslim can be trusted in a government or leadership role, and another reason why Muslims and democrats get along so well. They are both trained to lie.
What about the worst crime of all which she commited? IMMIGATION FRAUD. She married her brother to get into the United States. She should be deported immediately and never again be allowed to enter the United States.
You ask how she could ever get elected in the USofA? Her district (Flint, MI) is mostly Muslim. You may ask how that could happen. Thanks to Teddy Kennedy.
We just need to understand her culture differs from ours and that's OK. To think other wise is ____________phobia.
HaHa!! He did and I pray he will keep digging as I am sure there is a LOT more to her Jewish hating mentality to be exposed!!!
How dare he think he can expose her.
It's disturbing to know democrats, supported by a corrupt mainstream media, are no better (actually worse because there's no honor in the democrats or their media supporters) than the mafia.
But she’s Muslim and Muslims can marry up to 4 wives....oh, but wait, NOT husbands! Oh there is also this thing called Reynolds v United States (1878) in which the US Supreme Court ruled that “religious duty is not a defense against criminal complaint” (the case also was about polygamy and the Supreme Court ruled that making polygamy illegal did not violate religious freedom even when polygamy was REQUIRED by Mormon doctrine at the time...
