Ok, I read the Tea Party article, which refers to a Gateway Pundit article with the same accusations. Gateway Pundit, in turn, cites a CNN Business report about an alleged Somali war criminal living and working in the US. But nowhere in the CNN piece does it say this alleged war criminal is the father of this Omar chick. Also does not say this man is here illegally.
And I emphasize the word "alleged" because this man has not been tried and convicted of any crimes.
Just pointing all this out to remind everyone to be careful of what you read, hear and see.
