Omar has paid Tim Mynett’s consulting firm a total of more than $878,000 since 2018 — including $189,000 just weeks after the couple announced they were husband and wife. Calicchio, Dom. (2020). Ilhan Omar paid $878G to new husband’s consulting firm, data show: report. FoxNews.com. 24.125.163.200 (talk) 19:09, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Don't post edit requests until you have gained consensus for changes. TFD (talk) 19:46, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

I found the url for that Fox News article. They cite Richard Painter saying the arrangement "should not be allowed", but that it is allowed by ethics law. Other lawmakers with spouses doing campaign work for them include U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., and U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., the Post reported. I bet the IP isn't as interested in those bios. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:55, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Category

I removed the Category:Anti-Zionism in the United States in this edit as the article does not discuss Omar in these terms. Pls see WP:CATDEF. --K.e.coffman (talk) 21:13, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

This is completely ridiculous. Omar is an outspoken anti-Zionist. The last line in her lead section reads: "A frequent critic of Israel, Omar has denounced its settlement policy and military campaigns in the occupied Palestinian territories, and what she describes as the influence of pro-Israel lobbies." Revert the change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk • contribs) 00:49, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Voter Fraud?

There is a Youtube video with allegations of Ilhan Omar being involved with voter fraud. It's just two days old and already comes close to one million views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWK56l2VaLY Shouldn't that be mentioned in the article? Shai-Huludim (talk) 07:03, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Nothing Project Veritas claims has been proven to be truthful. Right wing echo chambers do not establish significant coverage. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:20, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Seconded. The number of sources probably isn't a good metric unless those sources are independently attempting to verify/fact check the claims made by Project Veritas. So far, this has mostly just been ignored by reputable outlets, and those who have covered it have simply reported what PV said. Nblund 17:44, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Today's New York Times has an article that characterizes the Project Veritas video attacking Omar as "disinformation" (see "Project Veritas Video Was a ‘Coordinated Disinformation Campaign,’ Researchers Say", ). NightHeron (talk) 13:59, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Numerous local news agencies-- https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/09/29/project-veritas-report-accuses-ilhan-omar-supporters-of-illegally-harvesting-ballots/, https://www.twincities.com/2020/09/28/project-veritas-video-alleges-widespread-voter-fraud-in-mn-with-u-s-rep-ilhan-omar-at-head/, etc.--have reported the alleged ballot harvesting/voter fraud. It should definitely be mentioned somewhere. Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk) 00:45, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Financial transparency section

I would vote that the financial transparency section be decoupled from her time in state politics and moved to its own section, and beefed up with more recent news, e.g. https://www.twincities.com/2019/08/28/ilhan-omar-under-scrutiny-first-marriage-then-fidelity-now-a-federal-campaign-complaint-and-a-state-fair-death-threat/ MaineCrab (talk) 18:05, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

That "news" is not recent; it's over a year old. As far as I know, nothing came out of the old complaints made by conservative anti-Omar sources. Are there any recent mainstream sources for this? This source doesn't belong in the article, per WP:RS and WP:BLP. NightHeron (talk) 19:29, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Please change "He made a series of false and misleading claims about Omar, including allegations that she had praised al-Qaeda, argued for leniency with ISIS recruits, and "smeared" American soldiers who had fought in Battle of Mogadishu by bringing up the numerous Somali civilian casualties" to "He made a series of false and misleading claims about Omar, including allegations that she had praised al-Qaeda and "smeared" American soldiers who had fought in Battle of Mogadishu by bringing up the numerous Somali civilian casualties." The very source that was cited directly states that Omar did, in fact, plead leniency for ISIS recruits in a 2016 federal case. Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk) 00:34, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

 Not done No, the source does not use the word "leniency" or any synonym, and neither did Omar's letter to the judge. Omar is quoted as saying the convicted young men made a "consequential mistake". In her letter, she called for "compassion" instead of multi-decade sentences. Cullen Let's discuss it 01:00, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Cullen. I think you are mistaken. You are correct that Omar did not specifically use the term "leniency". However, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, leniency is defined as "treatment in which someone is punished or judged less strongly or severely than would be expected" . That was exactly what Omar was calling for in her letter. She strongly cautioned the Judge not to sentence the defendants to "30 or 40 years" and instead called for a "restorative approach." No matter how you want to define a "restorative approach" it is, undoubtedly, more lenient than decades in prison. Please reconsider. Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk) 01:38, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
