Whether one considers it a prerequisite for being a Democrat or for conning immigration authorities, the skill of deception is one that Ilhan Omar admits she acquired as a child.
Ever since the Oct. 12 raid on her Washington, D.C., home amid an investigation that touches of potential immigration fraud, the Minnesota Democrat’s autobiography has been a gold mine of stories that indicate lying was simply a way of life.
Attorney Laura Powell posted a gem she found on X, in which she notes that on pages 20 and 21 of Omar’s tale of woe, she recounts that in Somalia as a child she lied about her family and clan, saying it was needful.

The Federalist previously mined Omar’s past writing for clues to her age.
That has emerged as a flashpoint in the Democrat’s recent controversy because Omar was listed as being 17-years-old as an applicant for citizenship on paperwork submitted by her father. However, according to a significant detail seemingly revealed in the book, the congresswoman was 18, and would have had to apply on her own.
“I was eight years old when civil war broke out in Somalia. One day everything was okay, and the next, there were bullets piercing not only buildings but also people,” the site noted in an excerpt from the book.
Being eight years old in 1989 would imply she was older than 17 when immigration paperwork was submitted saying she was 17.
Fox is reporting that the Obama Administration did find evidence of marriage fraud in the investigation of Rep. Omar. https://t.co/QcYvy3vb4B Once again, the question is when the media will press Omar for specific answers and documents. Also, it is unclear why Omar has not offered a DNA sample to put such claims to rest. https://t.co/q2MjFtfJ6F

The memoir also states that during a 2011 trip to Somalia, Omar said she was 30, which again would make her 18, not 17, when the immigration paperwork was filed.
The Federalist report goes further, noting that multiple media pieces published in the Atlantic, BBC, Le Temp and Dawn, a Pakistani media outlet, all have her born in 1981.
As has been noted previously, after she was elected to Congress, her staff sought to revise history by changing her birth date to 1982. --->READ MORE HERE
