Ilhan Omar on Rumors of Marrying Her Brother: ‘It Started with a Somali Blog’

‘And right-wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it’

EXCERPT:

OMAR: "It started with the Somali blog that I don’t know if it still exists, but somebody put in there that, you know, that he had to have been my brother or something to that effect, and right-wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it, and they just kind of went and, like, found random people who were like, 'She introduced us, you know, she introduced him to us and said he was her brother,' which is, you know, insane. I mean, I don’t — I don’t know those people that they talk about."
