has her chance to rid the party of one of its crazies (Ilhan Omar) for perfectly legitimate reasons.
The AP (not Fox, OANN, Epoch, etc)--the AP (repeated for emphasis) reported that "Minnesota campaign finance officials said last week that U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar misused campaign funds in violation of state rules. They also revealed that she had filed joint tax returns with her husband years before they were legally married and at a time when she was married to another man." The AP further reported that "The Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board said Thursday that Omar and her husband, Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, filed joint tax returns for 2014 and 2015 — before they were actually married and while Omar was legally wed to another man. While some states allow for joint filing for “common law” marriages, Minnesota does not, and filing joint tax returns with someone who is not your legal spouse is against both federal and state law." Also: "State officials ruled last week that Omar must repay her campaign committee nearly $3,500, including $1,500 for payments made to the accounting firm for services related to joint tax returns for 2014 and 2015. Omar must also pay a $500 penalty to the state."
(The other man she was married to was likely her brother, but that's another story).
Given these tax irregularities, Dems should jettison her from her committees and censure her. This will give Dems credibility when they attack DJT over HIS tax filings. It will also send a message to moderate voters that Dems will not tolerate anti-Semites who cheered when our soldiers were killed while watching Black Hawk Down.
I am not trying to be tendentious. I actually think this is a golden opportunity for Nancy.
