Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) responded on Wednesday to Vice President JD Vance telling reporters that the Justice Department is investigating whether she married her biological brother to commit immigration fraud.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Vance delivered a press briefing on Tuesday, where he said the allegation against Omar is “something the Department of Justice is looking at right now.”
” If we think that there’s a crime, we’re going to prosecute that crime,” Vance said.

TMZ asked Omar for her response to the Vice President's comments, and she cried racism and xenophobia. "It's just a very bigoted lie. It's disgusting," she said, calling the accusation "fake" and practically daring the Department of Justice to investigate her.
"These people are disgusting. They believe in weird, creepy things, and that's why they want to believe in this weird sh*t. That's all I will say," she added.
"They're racist, they're xenophobic. I just happen to be Muslim. Yeah, I mean, they're just disgusting, bigoted people, and that's all I gotta say."
Omar:It's ridiculous. I mean, they've been at it since, like, Trump's first administration, and you know, as I always say, if they had something, they would have already shown their cards.

TMZ:So, what do you think about this, like brother marriage allegation that's continuing to persist?
Omar:It's just a very bigoted lie. It's disgusting and, you know, to make a huge allegation like that without, for 10 years, without proving any of it is just disturbing that there's still so many people who want to believe in something so disgusting.
