Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) says the government needs to cancel student debt, including her own. But there&#8217;s a chance the &#8220;Squad&#8221; member&#8217;s husband could clear her loans with the income from his vineyard.<\/p>\n<p>Omar urged President Joe Biden to cancel all student debt during <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NAACP\/status\/1519310127907672065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a speech<\/a> in Washington this week. Omar, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AA1RyFWfrYE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lamented<\/a> she still has student debt at the age of 40, said Biden could remove the burden for all borrowers &#8220;with the stroke of a pen.&#8221; But public records indicate Omar is well-positioned to pay off her student loans, valued at between $15,001 and $50,000 on <a href=\"https:\/\/disclosures-clerk.house.gov\/public_disc\/financial-pdfs\/2020\/10043918.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial disclosures<\/a>, without a government handout.<\/p>\n<p>Omar makes $174,000 per year as a member of Congress. Her husband, Tim Mynett, owns a stake in a California winery, eStCru. Mynett received between $15,001 and $50,000 from the winery business, according to Omar\u2019s disclosures. The winery, which <a href=\"https:\/\/estcru.co\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">says<\/a> it makes several &#8220;boundary-breaking&#8221; wines, operates vineyards in Sonoma County, Calif., and Oregon. Its site boasts its wide range of &#8220;relatable, approachable&#8221; wines made from &#8220;responsibly sourced&#8221; fruit. Offerings include the 2020 &#8220;Blockchain&#8221; Cabernet Sauvignon, which retails for $38, and a $20 bottle dubbed &#8220;This Rose is So Fetch.&#8221; Perhaps in a nod to Omar&#8217;s politics, eStCru plans to roll out a red blend named &#8220;No Middle Ground.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/cut-off-from-campaign-cash-omars-husband-turns-to-booze-biz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>\u00a0Mynett&#8217;s firm was advising wine companies, though it was unclear he had an ownership interest in a winery.<\/p>\n<p>Mynett also runs a political consulting firm, E Street Group, that works for the Democratic National Committee and various political campaigns. Omar&#8217;s campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/cut-off-from-campaign-cash-omars-husband-turns-to-booze-biz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">funneled<\/a> $2.9 million to the firm during the 2020 election cycle. Mynett earned between $100,001 and $1 million in partnership income from the firm, according to Omar&#8217;s disclosure.<\/p>\n<p>Omar&#8217;s communications director lashed out at conservatives who accused Omar of asking for a bailout, saying Omar is a refugee &#8220;who came to this country with almost nothing and worked multiple jobs to get through college and feed her family before being elected to Congress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Get the fuck outta here,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jeremyslevin\/status\/1519774052126240769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Omar communications aide Jeremy Slevin.<\/p>\n<p>Omar married Mynett in March 2020 after leaving her then-husband, Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi. The lawmaker claimed she was separated from Hirsi when she began a relationship with Mynett, but Mynett\u2019s ex-wife accused them of beginning an extramarital affair in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Omar has also faced allegations her first husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is also her brother. She has consistently refused to answer questions about Elmi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
