Ilhan Omar marries again: Misuse of campaign funds?

Ilhan Omar has married the man she said she wasn't dating.

She apparently wasn't going to announce it but a story in the Daily Mail forced her to.

It's apparently a legitimate wedding, unlike the one to her brother which was done as part of some immigration scheme, but it raises serious issues because her new husband is the head of a company that her campaign pays a fortune to.

If some of that money went to ensure that her husband to be could travel with her that would be a violation of campaign finance laws.

Normally the private life of politicians should be off limits but in this case Ilhan's continued lying and the fact that there may be a problem with campaign financing makes it something that voters should know about.

What's most interesting is how little this story is being covered by the #FakeNews media.  If Ilhan Omar were a Christian Republican as opposed to a Muslim Democrat this would be a huge national news story.
