A tale of two parties - a two-fer

| No Comments

Representative Ilhan Omar is the gift that keeps on giving but nobody on the left seems to be calling her on it.

From her Twitter account:

And, from Associated Press:

Rep. Omar filed joint tax returns before she married husband
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 revelation put the freshman representative under more scrutiny from critics who have taken issue with her marital past. One tax expert said that if there is no criminal intent and the issue has been corrected, she’s unlikely to face any criminal consequences.

And the money shot:

Omar has so far kept her tax returns private. While she has called for President Donald Trump to release his tax returns, her campaign did not acknowledge the AP’s request to release hers. Her campaign also did not answer a question about whether there might be issues with other tax returns prior to Omar’s marriage to Hirsi in 2018.

A bit of a double standard - dont'cha think...
