There is something seriously wrong at the BBC. This is the headline they used for a Muslim peace activist who was murdered by an Islamist group for preaching against radicalism.

I don’t know what the specific government case against Ilhan Omar involves. We will have to wait to see if charges are brought and what they entail. I do know (because I looked into it years ago) that the evidence that her previous “marriage” was likely part of a fraudulent immigration scheme was substantial. The press showed little interest in digging into the truth at the time because Omar and her allies successfully painted legitimate questions about possible illegal behavior as motivated by bigotry. That happened to be the same playbook used by the main actors behind the massive Feeding Our Future fraud scheme that many people associated with Omar were also tied to. It allowed them to delay investigations for years and even enlist the help of Minnesota AG Keith Ellison to try to stall the investigation while they stole hundreds of millions. It is also important to note for those trying to make it seem purely political that an investigation into Omar started under the Biden administration.
