Back to EpisodesEp. 227: EXCLUSIVE: Ilhan Omar changed her birth year—former congressional candidate explains the evidence
Description
AJ Kern, who ran for congress herself, joined Liz Collin on her podcast to talk about the shocking details in documents related to Rep. Omar's personal history and immigration status.
Rep. Omar has repeatedly "claimed that she became a citizen at the age of 17," Kern explained.
However, based on public records, Kern said it seems as though Rep. Omar "was actually 18 in the year 2000, when her father became eligible to apply for citizenship."
After requesting and reviewing official documents, Kern believes that Rep. Omar "actually wasn't a minor when her father could apply for naturalization. It kind of blows a hole in her story that she obtained naturalization or citizenship."
Kern also pointed out how the Minnesota Secretary of State does not verify the citizenship of candidates running for office.
