    All three members of the Republiscum/QAnon freshman class of 2020 — Marjorie Taylor Greene, Madison Cawthorne and Lauren Boebert — who
    lectured us the loudest and most obnoxiously about "family values" and marriage *failed* their marriages...and it was they who failed, not
    their spouses. All three of the hypocritical blowhards are now
    divorced (no-fault, of course).

    Who about Ilhan Omar, Rudy? You know Ilhan, the Democrat who married and
    was fucking her brother.

    Omar released a lengthy statement when she first ran for office in 2016 to address the persistent rumors that she married her brother, which she
    called "absurd and offensive," and gave a timeline of her marriage and relationship history.

    Omar married her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, in an Islamic faith ceremony
    in 2002 when she was 19, but the couple did not obtain a legal marriage certificate. The couple had two children together from 2002 to 2008.
    Omar and Hirsi split in 2008, also in a faith-based, not legal,
    proceeding.

    Omar legally married her second husband, Elmi, in 2009.

    Elmi and Omar separated just two years later, in 2011, but did not get a
    legal divorce. Elmi moved back to London.

    Omar and Hirsi got back together in 2012 and had their third child while
    Omar was separated from but still legally married to Elmi.

    Omar officially divorced Elmi in 2017 and legally married Hirsi in 2018.

    Omar filed to legally divorce Hirsi in October 2019, citing an
    "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship" in her divorce
    filings. Their divorce was finalized in November 2019, and Hirsi married another woman a little over a month later in December.

    Omar also remarried, tying the knot with political consultant Tim Mynett
    in March 2020.

    Numerous public documents obtained and reported by news outlets including
    the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the Washington Examiner, however, cast
    doubt on Omar's official timeline of her marriage and relationship
    history.

    As the Star Tribune reported in June 2019, Omar filed joint tax returns
    with Hirsi in 2014 and 2015 while she was still legally married to Elmi.
    She was fined by Minnesota's campaign-finance watchdog for paying a lawyer
    with campaign funds to fix the mistake, as federal law prohibits people
    from filing joint returns with a person who is not their spouse.

    At about the same time, the Examiner published a story reporting that in
    dozens of publicly available traffic violation and court records, Hirsi
    "listed his address at a single Cedar Riverside address consistently in
    2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011," the same address Omar listed in
    separate traffic-violation cases, including during the time she was split
    from Hirsi.

    The Examiner further discovered a 2013 local news article which said that
    Omar and Hirsi "moved to North Dakota so that Omar could finish her
    bachelor's degree in political science" from 2009 to 2011, the exact time
    frame during which she was legally married to Elmi, who also attended
    North Dakota State.

    Complicating matters further, both the Star Tribune and the Examiner
    reported that the address in the Minneapolis suburb of Columbia Heights
    that Omar and Elmi listed on their 2009 marriage-license application was
    the same location Hirsi listed as his home address when applying for a
    business license with the state government that same year.
