Omar deletes post that appears to be evidence that she married her brother

Washington Free  Beacon:

Media fact-checkers are choosing to ignore a now-deleted social media post by Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar (Minn.) that suggests her father has the same family name as her former husband, who many suspect is also her brother.

The 2013 post by Omar wishing a Happy Father's Day to a man named "Nur Said" resurfaced late Monday night when Imam Mohamad Tawhidi pointed to it as further evidence that Omar's previous husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was her brother. In Somali culture, a man's middle name is typically the name of his father. Omar deleted the tweet revealing her father's name on Tuesday at 5:23 a.m., according to ProPublica's tracker of deleted tweets.

The accusation that Omar married her brother has plagued her since she first ran for public office in 2016, and she has provided little to no information to refute it aside from suggesting the accusations themselves are evidence of anti-Muslim bigotry. Media outlets such as CNN and the Daily Beast, neither of which received any cooperation from Omar, have nonetheless stepped in to label the accusation a "disgusting lie" and "baseless smear."

But neither appears ready to reevaluate their conclusions in light of Omar’s recently resurfaced—and deleted—tweet.

They would be more interested if she were a conservative Republican.
