And you married Ahmed Nur Said,\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou married your brother,\u201d the post said, adding, \u201c(Most Americans don\u2019t know that in most Muslim countries, the surname is actually the father\u2019s name).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final word of the post needed no explanation: \u201cR E S I G N.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omar has denied marrying her brother \u2014 just as she has denied any possible hiccup with her immigration paperwork \u2014 and has insisted that she is, in fact, \u201cIlhan Abdullahi Omar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omar\u2019s marriage to Elmi ended in divorce in 2017. She married Ahmed Hirsi in 2018.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Fox News reported that two people familiar with the federal investigation into Omar\u2019s immigration tangle said \u201cIlhan Nur Said Elmi\u201d may be Omar\u2019s legal name.<\/p>\n<p>During an MS NOW interview in which Omar was asked whether she married her brother, she replied, \u201cNot to my knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot to her knowledge, folks,\u201d Kirsten Fleming wrote in her <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/10\/22\/opinion\/ilhan-omars-baffling-answer-to-the-question-are-you-married-to-your-brother-shows-this-scandal-isnt-going-away\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> column.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd who among us really knows if they married a close relative? Heck, we\u2019ve all been there, wondering the same thing. Is my spouse from the same small branch of the family tree?\u201d Fleming snarked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven that Omar\u2019s answer was so relatable to so many, perhaps we need to rework some marriage traditions. Something borrowed could be genetics. Also going forward, every wedding will be officiated by Maury Povich, who will kick off each ceremony by tearing into a large manilla envelope and declaring whether they are or are not brother and sister,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr we could simply not use the institution\u00a0of marriage for immigration fraud and to take advantage of the United States\u2019 incredible kindness,\u201d she wrote, noting that Omar has \u201cexpressed her unending gratitude by blasting the United States as a racist hellhole, while looking the other way at Medicaid scams and filing wildly fluctuating financial documents that either show her to be worth $30 million or broke.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form method=\"post\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); window.WJFormsSecure ?
