In yet another example of a conspiracy theory being proven true, the Washington Free Beacon reports: "After Shaming Conservatives for 'Seizing' on 'Rumors,' NYT Finally Concedes Ilhan Omar (Probably) Married Her Brother." The article relates that "[t]he Obama administration 'found evidence suggesting' that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother, the New York Times revealed on Thursday."
Federal agents opened an investigation in 2016, the Times reported, and found reason to believe that Omar and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who obtained a provisional green card following their marriage in 2009, were siblings. Prosecutors declined to pursue the matter because the alleged crime—federal marriage fraud—fell outside the statute of limitations.
In a dramatic reversal based on the Times's past coverage of allegations, the esteemed publication conceded that "Several aspects of [Omar's] marriage to Mr. Elmi have long been murky." For example, the happy couple's marriage certificate was signed by a Christian minister rather than a Muslim imam—a curious detail that neither Omar nor the minister, Wilecia Harris, has publicly explained.
This will no doubt come as a shock to loyal Times readers, who were repeatedly assured that Omar did nothing wrong. ...
I doubt it. The New York Times mostly appeals to party apparatchiks who can change their core beliefs on a dime if the party dictates it.
And as if to underline how fraudulent was the marriage, there is this from the New York Post: "llhan Omar’s alleged brother she wed in ‘sham marriage’ says he is a gay man in academic paper."
