Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is raising eyebrows from MAGA allies and supporters over her latest response to whether she married her brother — a claim that she has repeatedly denied.In her first interview since the raid on her Washington, D.C., home, Omar called the allegations that have been promoted by conservative figures as “insane” — but her follow-up answer has sparked more speculation from the group.Omar told MS NOW’s Chris Hayes on Wednesday that the accusations first appeared on a Somali blog, saying that an unknown person had wrote that her former husband had to have been her brother or “something to that effect.”“And the right-wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it, and they just kind of went and like found random people who were like, ‘she introduced us,’ you know, ‘she introduced him to us’ and said he was her brother, which is, you know, insane,” Omar said. “I mean, I don’t know those people that they talk about.When asked whether there was “some weird kernel of truth” she was related to him, the congresswoman replied: “Not to my knowledge.” Her four-word reply quickly generated attention on social media, with many allies and supporters of President Donald Trump expressing skepticism over whether she gave a definitive denial.“That’s not a good answer,” Trump said when asked by a reporter late Wednesday. “That’s an answer that a lot of us assumed.”Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded with two emojis questioning the reply.“LOL wut?” conservative TV personality Spencer Pratt asked.“She might as well have just admitted it,” one user said, while another wrote: “Oh she’s f---ed lmao.”Conservative personality Nick Sortor posted, “That might just be the most unconvincing answer in HISTORY.”Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin pointed to how Omar had strongly denied any claims that her ex-husband was her sibling, with her telling Minnesota Public Radio in 2016 that “insinuations that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is my brother are absurd and offensive.” “Today, for whatever reason, she went with ‘not to my knowledge,’” Melugin continued.Federal authorities from Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, conducted an early-morning search of Omar’s D.C. home on Oct. 12 as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.Omar said in the new interview that she will be moving out of the house.“Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement,” Omar wrote on X following the raid. “For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.”Rachel Cohen covers national politics as a reporter for Advance Local, focusing on President Donald Trump's second term and Congress.
