In a shocking financial “whodunnit” that has baffled accountants, investigators, and anyone with basic math skills, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) dramatically announced she is not nearly as wealthy as her previous financial disclosures suggested, sources have confirmed.
Last week Omar was reportedly worth somewhere between $6 million and $30 million thanks to her husband’s booming businesses, including a mysterious venture capital firm and a California winery.
This week?
She claims her net worth has plummeted to a humble $18,004 to $95,000 after “major accounting errors.”
The congresswoman, who earns $174,000 a year, says she simply didn’t notice all those extra zeros her accountants kept adding.
“I thought it was just a rounding thing,” she explained with a straight face.
Republicans, including President Trump, are demanding an investigation, with some wondering if this is why Omar never noticed all the massive fraud in Minnesota — she just couldn’t see all those extra zeros there either.
“It’s almost like someone was laundering money and then realized the paperwork looked bad,” one GOP source joked.
Democrats have rushed to defend Omar, arguing that everyone makes honest mistakes — like accidentally listing your husband’s company as worth $25 million when it was actually worth negative $3.47 and a half-used Starbucks gift card.
As of press time, forensic accountants were still trying to solve the greatest financial mystery since Hunter Biden’s art career: how Ilhan Omar’s wealth managed to vanish faster than her principles on Somalia.
Why is she still alleowed In this country? She should be in prison!
YES , A prison in Somolia !
If this woman is TRUELY THIS STUPID how can she be allowed to help write the laws of the United States.
No, But she figures WE are stupid.
I love your articles. Keep them going. Lightens my day. Thanks! Great artwork and writing.
She’s a minority Democrat woman of color. That gives her a lifetime immunity from prosecution.
She is such a liar how convenient now all the records are wrong. Why are they waiting to put her in jail she hates Americans and what this nation stands for. Hoping all the investigations are done with it.
Abracadabra, poof! ….. or maybe “creative financing” (did Hillary help in the disappearance of records?)
I have mostly distain for officers of our law when it comes to politics. I was a lower EM when I served in the military.
It’s really amazing what a good accountant can do for you.
How is the IRS audit thing coming along there for folks that make “honest mistakes” when tax time comes around. I am certain that in explaining all the business expenses and such things as that that this “elected representative” will have an honest answer for each and every question which can possibly be asked!
Perhaps, with her success in negotiating with the IRS, a new venture will be open as a “Tax remediation specialist” for folks with IRS tax issues.
!!
Agreed. The IRS doesn’t just let that stuff go. HOPEFULLY they find out what happened. HONEST mistake doesn’t add that many zeros. We are all NOT THAT DUMB. If I said I made $70,000 last year and all of a sudden my tax return had that I’d made $30 million, not only would I fire my accountant, but I’d want to know what account all of that money was in. For her not to even ASK HER ACCOUNTANT when she SIGNED THE TAX RETURN. Really, we’re not that dumb. This is the STUPIDEST THING in the news right now. Look away at this one, that’s what they want us to do, I HOPE AND PRAY that the IRS doesn’t look away. They wouldn’t if it was a Jane or John Doe that made this error, and the accountant would no longer have his licensure; filing a fraudulant return and signing one is a crime.
Awesome graphics (illustrations) AND content!
I wonder if the IRS will investigate this loss of wealth??? The us taxpayer are loosing a large income tax payment that would be of benefit o our budget.
Really …. commonnnnnnn!!!!!! This lady is an ELECTED OFFICAL! Those voting for her should have their heads examined.
Enough already !!!!!! When is this inbred , brother banging , camel sniffing , towelhead Omar finally going to have a FULL investigations into her citizenship AND her finances ???? Every other day , slut Omar is tangled in to something ,,,,,,,,,, she needs to be taken DOWN !!!
Excuse me but didnt her extra source of income just dry up? Didn’t the fed stop sending millions to the corrupt officials for fraudulent (alledgedly) daycares, etc? That could explain the sudden “wealth discrepancy”. Lol send her to her real home. She shouldn’t be here and especially not in our government!
Omar is elected by an Islamist Somalian community in her district. She is a lying, immoral, America -hating criminal, as we all know. To me, her absurd presence in the United States Congress is much more an incrimination of Somalian immigrants, who put her there, than it is of the irredeemable Omar, herself. We’ve learned what she is. Now we know what they are.
There should be no foreign born nationals in our government period. If you come to this Country and don’t assimilate and truly pledge your allegiance to this country and it’s laws you should be sent back to the place you come from. This is one nation under God. Not many nations under many different God’s and laws.
Seems like you can never win with the dumb republicans.
If she has too much money she’s in trouble (while they are corrupt and enrich themselves by the way) and if she is broke, she is in trouble …
Sounds like a “neat way” for both her and her beloved brother-husband to avoid paying the IRS. Even West Virginia doesn’t,t allow brothers & sisters to legally marry- apparently that isn’t a problem in Minnesota- just like putting tampons in the boys’ bath rooms at the public high schools!!
The truly sad thing is that she will never go to trial, and even if she does, she will not be convicted nor face consequences. She will play the race card and every other cynical, hypocritical game and the dolts in MN will reelect her.
