Always deep thinking, Rev. I'm gonna go with "both" as she could be the mom and the aunt. Of course, she wasn't only married to him so perhaps give her the benefit of the doubt?
Just was reading about her on Business Insider....
Public documents contradict some of Omar's story about her marriage history
No hard evidence — like a birth certificate or other legal documents — has surfaced to prove that Elmi is Omar's brother or that any fraud was committed. Yet Omar has still not explained some discrepancies and inconsistencies in her marriage history.
Omar released a lengthy statement when she first ran for office in 2016 to address the persistent rumors that she married her brother, which she called "absurd and offensive," and gave a timeline of her marriage and relationship history.
Omar married her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, in an Islamic faith ceremony in 2002 when she was 19, but the couple did not obtain a legal marriage certificate. The couple had two children together from 2002 to 2008.
Omar and Hirsi split in 2008, also in a faith-based, not legal, proceeding.
Omar legally married her second husband, Elmi, in 2009.
Elmi and Omar separated just two years later, in 2011, but did not get a legal divorce. Elmi moved back to London.
Omar and Hirsi got back together in 2012 and had their third child while Omar was separated from but still legally married to Elmi.
Omar officially divorced Elmi in 2017 and legally married Hirsi in 2018.
Omar filed to legally divorce Hirsi in October 2019, citing an "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship" in her divorce filings. Their divorce was finalized in November 2019, and Hirsi married another woman a little over a month later in December.
Omar also remarried, tying the knot with political consultant Tim Mynett in March 2020.
Numerous public documents obtained and reported by news outlets including the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the Washington Examiner, however, cast doubt on Omar's official timeline of her marriage and relationship history.
As the Star Tribune reported in June 2019, Omar filed joint tax returns with Hirsi in 2014 and 2015 while she was still legally married to Elmi. She was fined by Minnesota's campaign-finance watchdog for paying a lawyer with campaign funds to fix the mistake, as federal law prohibits people from filing joint returns with a person who is not their spouse.
Shall we say, a complicated life, Rev?
