Bill Maher brutally mocks Ilhan Omar during immigration probe: ‘Accidentally married my brother’

Bill Maher joked that Rep. Ilhan Omar had “accidentally married my brother” during a television monologue, drawing on renewed allegations about her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Omar is facing investigations by the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security over claims that the marriage was arranged to secure Elmi a green card.

Omar and Elmi, a British citizen, married in Minnesota and divorced in 2017. The article says Omar had a child with her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, while she was legally married to Elmi, and that the three reportedly lived together. Omar has denied the allegations, calling them a “disgusting lie” and a “racist conspiracy theory”; when asked recently whether she married her brother, she replied, “Not to my knowledge.”
