Tucker and Guest’s Source to ‘Prove’ Ilhan Omar Smear? An Accused Child Sex Trafficker
Fox News host Tucker Carlson and his guest on Wednesday night decided to run with an accused child sex trafficker as their source to prove a long-running right-wing conspiracy about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
Yes, you read that correctly.
For years now, Omar—a naturalized American citizen born in Somalia—has been dogged by unproven and largely baseless rumors from the right that her ex-husband is actually her biological brother and that she married him so he could obtain American citizenship. As The Daily Beast’s Will Sommer wrote back in 2019, the origin of the conspiracy centers on a single anonymous online post on an obscure Somali diaspora forum.
