I am no fan of Omar's and would love for her to get clobbered in a primary, but what's the basis for calling her "corrupt"? I don't like to see that term get thrown around without reason...
"The complaint cited a June story in the Minnesota Reformer on how Omar's husband, Tim Mynett, and his business partner, Will Hailer, are being accused of fraud and breach of contract in connection to their marijuana and wine ventures, which collapsed.
Omar, over the last three years, has not disclosed to Congress the value of these troubled business ventures, NLPC said in the complaint, pointing to a reported $300,000 investment from a Washington, D.C., business owner, Naeem Mohd, in the wine business тАФ eStCru."
And there's this:
"Omar marries political consultant, months after affair claim"
"Filings with the Federal Election Commission show OmarтАЩs campaign paid Tim Mynett or his firm nearly $600,000 since July 2018. Though it may raise eyebrows, family members, including spouses, can be on the campaign payroll as long as the family member provides services at a fair market value. "
This seems like a nothingburger and there are MANY other things I'd object to her over before this. That said, perception becomes reality on these things I suppose. Regardless, you and I are aligned that she is unelectable statewide. Good news is that, unlike Republicans, our crazies don't tend to win primaries...
Objecting to a candidate who's made some bad House votes doesn't mean the alternative is corrupt, no-chance-to-win-a-statewide-race Ilhan Omar!

Let's put it this way: There's certainly been at least a whiff of corruption around her.
What eventually happened with this?
