Her worst excuse ever.

Rep. Ilhan Omar has had some pretty tall tales and inexplicable scandals, including the whole thing about marrying her brother, but this has to be the worst excuse for anything ever.
I don’t see how even someone trying to give Omar every possible benefit of the doubt can swallow this.
An Omar disclosure filed last year showed she and her husband held assets of between $6 million and $30 million, a massive rise in wealth from her previous annual filing. That jump triggered questions among Republicans eager to scrutinize a critic of the president.
An amended filing viewed by The Wall Street Journal shows the couple’s assets to be just $18,004 to $95,000. The forms don’t require exact values, only broad ranges.
Those businesses had previously been listed as worth between $6 million and $30 million. In the amended filing, they are shown as having no value once liabilities are factored in
Aides said that Omar looked at the form before it was filed in 2025, but that the error didn’t jump off the page for her because she isn’t involved with her husband’s businesses and she trusted the accuracy of the accountant who provided her husband’s figures.
I’m sorry, Omar’s excuse is that…
