The unsubstantiated claim that Omar married her brother has circulated in MAGA circles for years but has been denied by the congresswoman multiple times.

JD Vance accused Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of having “definitely committed immigration fraud” and said that he’d recently spoken with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about how best to “go after her.”

Speaking on a podcast hosted by MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on Friday, Vance was asked about claims that Omar had defrauded the United States by marrying her brother to secure his legal residency.

The unsubstantiated claim has circulated in MAGA circles for years but has been denied by Omar multiple times. The congresswoman was born in Somalia but moved to Minneapolis with her family in 1997, fleeing the civil war.

    You know, before this current time, I was naive about the depth of hatred I was capable of feeling. She’s already been attacked multiple times because of the kind of rhetoric he’s spreading here. Like, I understand why they do it.

    LBJ:

    “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

    I get it, but I despise them for it, still.
