You'd think someone with as many skeletons tumbling out of her closet as Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar might want to lay low for a while and keep the spotlight off of them. Between the immigration fraud she has committed with her brother-husband, her suspicious campaign financing, and the endless stream of Somali theft of taxpayer money in Minnesota that Nick Shirley and others have exposed, Omar is about one leaked video away from becoming the next Eric Swalwell.
But, because piracy is 'her culture,' she just can't help herself.
Senator Joni Ernst has now exposed Omar for another attempted robbery of taxpayer money, this time through the legalized form of theft known as earmarks.
Watch below as Ernst describes how Omar planned to abscond with $1 million through a substance abuse clinic that was ... not at all a substance abuse clinic.
Ilhan Omar: “Can I get a $1 million earmark for a ‘substance abuse clinic’?”
— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) April 14, 2026
Congress: “Sure!”
Ilhan Omar: “It’s really a restaurant run by Somalis”
Congress: ….
Earmarks are bad
This is just one of many examples that remind us why they should be banned pic.twitter.com/4vBDWnr3Zz
Senator Lee is correct that earmarks are little more than a money laundering scheme -- Senator Rand Paul reveals this every year with his annual Festivus list of grievances -- but it takes some real chutzpah for Omar to claim that her friends' restaurant is a legitimate rehab facility.
Maybe they will rebrand the restaurant as a 'Kwality Addikshun Center.'
Omar is a crook and deserves to be expelled and deported https://t.co/czYyN6pEKf

To be fair, Omar requesting this earmark is not illegal. It is part of the institutionalized corruption in Congress that people like her exploit. Thankfully, as Ernst noted, this attempt to steal a cool million was stripped out of the legislation.

Which is not to say that Omar doesn't have enough crimes on her ledger already. It's long past time for the DOJ to start indicting many elected officials in America, and she is at the tippity-top of the list.
But Senator I heard they have a really nice salad bar. https://t.co/rj9hZbLExG

Does everyone have to eat from the salad bar with their hands, though?
Have you tried run of the mill Somali food -Substance Abuse written ALL over it, Frey don't lie... LOL pic.twitter.com/kxcrSD7xU0

LOL. OK, fair point.
But the restaurant still doesn't need $1 million of OUR money.
Anyone else sick and tired of the waste, fraud and abuse? https://t.co/JHMUlMoyXr pic.twitter.com/V2H7Nq5Ter

To add even more insult to the attempted fraud, Ernst exposed Omar's earmark request just one day before hundreds of millions of Americans are forced to pay taxes or be sent to prison.

Fork over your hard-earned money so the Feds can keep funding hundreds of billions in waste, fraud, and abuse every single year. GAO estimates $233–521 BILLION lost annually to improper payments alone.
🫵 Your taxes work hard for… https://t.co/SHrSvmPNZm
... for corrupt politicians (e.g., anti-American radical Left lunatic Somalian Representative Ilhan Omar)
Imagine how low the tax rate could be for actual Americans if Congress stopped throwing away hundreds of billions of dollars per year on 'projects' like Omar's.

You're not crazy.
We want our USA Tax Dollars back, we want the Democratic Leadership in charge locked up as they allowed Billions of USA Tax Payer Funds to be handed over to Illegal Invaders, and they were all knowledgeable about the crime yet did nothing - we want the Illegal Invaders that took… pic.twitter.com/vA4IrvVP2B

ACCOUNTABILITY HAS TO HAPPEN…77+ MILLION VOTERS VOTED FOR ACCOUNTABILITY!!!
In other words -- PASS THE SAVE ACT, GOP!

What she said.

HA. We see what you did there.
How much was her kick back? https://t.co/qmdeNOqwAf
— SemperFi1836 (@SemperFi1836) April 14, 2026
Of course, much of that $1 million was going to get funneled right back into her campaign coffers.
Every minute longer that she is in our country, a member of Congress, and a US “citizen,” is dangerous to society.
— Lera 🇺🇸 (@lerafera) April 14, 2026
She must be removed from Congress and the US immediately. pic.twitter.com/VHizzR4eLd
When is enough fraud actually enough? 🤔

Asking for the American people. https://t.co/3olBNVnHNz
We are fed up. Enough was enough for the American people a long time ago with career-criminal, anti-American fraudsters like Ilhan Omar.
But she'll keep trying as long as she knows there are no consequences for her.
So, we should probably serve her up some.
She won't like the taste nearly as much as the food in her restaurant-slash-'substance abuse clinic,' but we would savor every bite she's forced to take.
