Ilhan Omar hit with ethics complaint over event with former PM of Somalia
“We are deeply concerned by Ilhan Omar ’s illegal campaign rally with the former Prime Minister of Somalia . Omar already has a long history of statements indicating her disdain for America and allegiance to Somalia , but this goes beyond statements,” AAF said in a statement.
Specifically, AAF is alleging that Khaire’s “particularity” in which he engaged in a get-out-the-vote effort for Omar amounted to “prohibited decision-making.” Waxaan Jaaliyadda Soomaaliyeed ee Dalka Mareykanka kala qeybgalay xuska sannadguurada 64aad ee ka soo wareegtay xornimadii iyo midnimadii Soomaaliya, oo ka dhacday magaalada Minneapolis. Waxaana madasha ka jeediyay kalimad aan uga qeybqaadanayo farxadda iyo dabbaaldegga…AAF also alleged that Khaire’s “services” to Omar’s campaign “appear to be compensated by a prohibited source.”
The Post reached out to Ka Joog for comment and to ask whether it actually sponsored Khaire’s trip to the US. The Post was unable to reach Khaire for comment.“Khaire is an extremely popular figure among the Somali diaspora, which is a significant and powerful constituency in Rep. Omar’s district,” AAF added.
Omar, who is one of the first two female Muslim-Americans elected to the lower chamber, has been an outspoken critic of Israel’s war against Hamas, criticism that has occasionally crossed the line into antisemtism.
