Following on from an older article we wrote about the frankly laughable lies conservatives like to spread about Ilhan Omar, they seem to have truly outdone themselves now.
Previously, Omar's detractors created easily falsifiable claims about her, claims that could be disproven from a ten second google search and a cursory read, but nevertheless they persist.
This time around, the very same people believe that the FBI are going to literally arrest Omar. The reasoning behind this is that Omar supposedly married her brother, which has of course been repeated by every right-wing 'news' outlet and even President Trump himself repeated the claim at a campaign rally. Of course something as simple as a birth certificate proves this isn't even remotely true.
This didn't stop Chuck Woolery and his idiotic following tweeting out an article claiming that Omar had been 'nabbed by the FBI' and simply lapping it up without even questioning how ridiculous they sound.

It's has been roughly a week since Woolery posted this and it doesn't seem like Ilhan is locked away in some FBI holding cell considering she's been very active on her social media profiles over the past week and even within the last few hours, not something you'd expect to see if they were recently arrested by the FBI.
There seems to be something about Ilhan Omar that ruffles the feathers of conservatives, other than her politics of course. Couldn't be that she is the first Somali-American congresswoman and one of the first Muslim members of Congress could it? Surely not.
I love your profile! keep going :D
