Here is the real collusion. But as always, the establishment media and the political elites will protect Omar from any political consequences, should she take such donations.
“Turkish media calls for Turks to fund, support Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign,” MEMRI, July 2, 2019:
(July 2, 2019 / MEMRI) Tarek Cherkaoui, the manager of the Turkish state-run news channel TRT World’s research center, wrote an article in April calling upon Turks to donate to the campaign fund of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). The article was widely reprinted in the Turkish media.
The article, written for the English-language website of the Turkish pro-government daily Yeni Şafak and published on April 1, 2019, was titled “Media Flak Directed At Ilhan Omar No Surprise At All.” At least seven other Turkish media outlets ran the article, in both English and in Turkish.
It should be noted that U.S. federal law prohibits foreign nationals from donating to political candidates.
In the article, Cherkaoui wrote that “donating money to Omar’s campaign fund would be an adequate way of denying powerful organizations the power to censor alternative voices.”
It is difficult to calculate the reach this call has had among Turkish readers, but Yeni Şafak’s Turkish-language website is one of Turkey’s most popular news websites, and as of Sept. 2018 its Turkish print edition had a weekly circulation of 111,622. Given Omar’s popularity in Turkey, and the fact that the article was published in Turkish as well as in English, it is likely that some Turks have sought to donate to her campaign fund….

“of denying powerful organizations the power to censor alternative voices”
Good one. You might have a career in Vegas.
Except those powerful organizations are known as Yahoo, Facebook, Google, Twitter, NBC, ABC, NYT, WaPo, and their many kindred friends.

They will probably find a way to donate anyway, even though it is prohibited by U.S. Law. But the “Political Giving” biz is out of control altogether anyway. If it were me, I’d prohibit Corporations and any “business” from making ANY donations, be it time, money or services in kind. I would limit all “Political contributions” to individuals only, and not more than Ten Dollars per election. Who cares if “candidates” have enough money for their campaigns anyway? We all know they recoup “Big Bucks” just for occupying a seat in Congress. I think I’d change their pay to One Dollar per year also. They certainly don’t “work” for it.

If the media in this country were worth anything, they would be obsessing over foreign interference in a US election. But the media are in the service of those who want this country destroyed, and so the media do what is expected of them: keep quiet about it.

I’m sure oman and the turks will find a way to donate and go around the rules that others are supposed to follow but since she is muslim she has a free ride which was helped with muslim no. 1, obamasshole.
he has done so much damage to this country with his alinskyite/muslim mentality which are basically the same, DESTROY AMERICA. We all knew he was at the top of the food chain far as the collusion debacle, it just took $millions and wasted time to prove it was him, not Trump who should be investigated; his plan didn’t work, partly because of the adulterous relationship the FBI agents had. the truth eventually comes out but the snowflakes will never wake up; hopefully they will just mmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeelllllllllttttt away. and what about that FAKE dossier hillary paid for? will there ever be justice, probably not, since the crooks in the deep state are thick as thieves.

I couldn’t have said it better myself!!!!!! It’s so nice to hear others with the same thoughts! Spot on!

Omar will probably not need foreign donations. Therefore plenty of democrats and muslim m citizens that will donate to her coffers so that she will have plenty of money yo run her elections…..There is read on yo have her recalled …but.. that will not happen…The democratic party, ..actually DOGS ( Democratic Organization of Globalist Socialist) needs their flag like Germany’s Nazi party had, and they will back her all the way.
smoris says
It’s also against the law to be married to more than one person at a time here, and also illegal to be married to your own brother. I would be embarrassed to be a Democrat in her district or to be called on to support her. She is and has always been a disgrace. But when we adapt to moral relativism and can easily argue that up is down, in is out, black is white, right is wrong, then it is no trouble at all to whistle as we look past Omar’s crimes.
somehistory says
1. It would not be a surprise to learn that they already have “donated” to her campaign. She certainly wouldn’t say unless she was sure she could skate on a charge of campaign fraud…as she seemingly already has.
2. She wouldn’t bat an eyelash if she saw money coming from Turkey or any other nation…she is not an ethical person and has no integrity.
3/. This photo of her sitting with erdowan…and saying who-knows-what…agreeing to some unlawful scheme? Since it has been documented that the turkey had connections and close ties to the mb…and the mb has vowed to “sabotage” the “miserable house from within,’…this photo should be made available to every one who can see and read…everyone who can recognize a snake when they see one.

“It should be noted that U.S. federal law prohibits foreign nationals from donating to political candidates.”
It should also be noted that: Federal law prohibits contributions, donations, expenditures and disbursements solicited, directed, received or made directly or indirectly by or from foreign nationals in connection with any election — federal, state or local. Therefore, doesn’t this violate US law? The Fed. needs to keep a very close eye on Omar and her campaign.

Foreign interference in our elections will now be protected by Twitter
mortimer says
Yes, Charles, we all know it isn’t ‘COLLUSION’ or ‘FOREIGN INTERFERENCE’ when MUSLIMS do it … and to criticize Islamic collusion is ‘racist’ even though Islam is not a race and Erdogan and Ilhan are visibly of different races..

I think allowing her into USA was the first fault. After becoming USA citizen she wants to destroy USA. If she is great reformer let her go back to her country and play the fiddle. What made her to leave her country?
abad says
Agreed, we never should have allowed Somali Moslems into the USA, which began around 1996 when a “civil war” broke out and a number of Moslems all vied for power. Of course, it was utter chaos but what can you expect – Islam breeds utter chaos. Precisely WHY Somali Moslems do not belong in the United States at all.
Ilhan Chaos Omar should be deported back to Mogadishu.
Eric Jones says
If Omar takes these funds she is in violation of federal law and should be removed from Congress. Watch out for such donations being money laundered. Expl. Donation from Turkey is sent to a business or none profit in the USA. This business or none profit pays funds out as a business expense to an undisclosed front organization of Omar’s. All the other current investigations of Omar should be ramped up.

What–and then Erdogan can hand over the illegal campaign contributions? Is that what “DefenderofIslam” here is saying?
Giacomo Latta says
From the way she’s dressed I would say she was on the house-cleaning committee.
drhmay says
Where exactly does her loyalty lay? Non stop criticism of the country that saved her family. Brother marrying perjurer and tax evader. Supporter of ISIS sympathizers. The perfect leftist democrat?
Drew Webb says
”t should be noted that U.S. federal law prohibits foreign nationals from donating to political candidates.”
I think the system of banking islam uses would get around that pretty quick.
Horseman says
No amount of money should get her re-elected.
joanofark06 says
Funny that I never hear about what Trump thinks about, or even says, about this article, or any of the articles on this site. But of course, he’s got that short speech to the thousands if not millions, of muslims in this country. That I’ve posted enough, from the White House dot GOV website.
And THAT was after, he hosted that ramadan dinner in the White House (like Obummer did).
And of course, right after he became president, he went to that islamist country.
I’m done. Everyone always wants to talk about Obummer still. Never Trump….
PeteyGunn says
didnt the US government just waste 2 years and god know how many millions of dollars trying to prove President Trump on colluding with the Russians. Didnt Ilhan Omar accuse other members of Congress of being in the back pockets of the Israelis? Yet this treasonous cunt has the nerve to take money from the turks openly??? I hope Trump uses this for his next campain! get rid of this shit stain on fine reputation of congress
