That sound you hear is a countdown clock on Ilhan Omar time left in Congress.
From Politico’s Eliana Johnson:
For those wondering, here’s Ilhan Omar’s hometown newspaper’s editorial last month on her complicated marital history and her breaking of tax law via @StarTribune – https://t.co/p6uWla35sH

“But more is expected of her than the symbolism attached to her victory. Omar has a special obligation to be worthy of the trust so many have placed in her, including many still-new Americans who expect better.”

And Team Omar is accusing anyone of even asking questions of “bigotry”:
Comments to that effect from her team are her, again in her hometown paper’s reporting on the issue – https://t.co/aEbjbHKqS1
