Make New York Post a Preferred Source Comedian Bill Maher roasted “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on his “Real Time with Bill Maher” show on HBO Friday night.
Maher began doing his Real Time monologue on disgraced Nvidia boss Jensen Huang’s affair with alleged Chinese spy Alice Huang, before taking a swing at the embattled congresswoman.
“It’s all very confusing, his name is Huang, her name is Huang,” Maher started off about the Nvidia scandal, pointing out the two share the same last name. “Made for some awkward moments during sex. Like when he said, ‘who’s your daddy?’ and she said ‘innit you?’
“No, the name thing is a coincidence, it could happen to anybody,” Maher went on, serious for a moment.
“Ilhan Omar said, ‘Tell me about it! I accidentally married my brother!'” he then joked, as the crowd erupted in a mixture of shock and laughter, before applauding.
Somali-born Omar is facing renewed allegations that her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was an immigration sham to get him a green card — and is under a wide-ranging investigation by the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security.
Omar, 45, married Elmi, 41, a British citizen, in a ceremony officiated by a Christian minister in Minnesota in 2009, even though the two are practicing Muslims. They divorced in 2017.
The family of seven children had split up between the UK and the US after leaving Somalia via a refugee camp in Kenya.
While legally married to Elmi, Omar had her third child with her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, and the three reportedly lived under the same roof.
Hirsi reportedly vented to friends he was “embarrassed” when Omar’s effeminate “brother” came to live with them in Minnesota, a family friend previously told The Post.
“He told me that it was his wife’s brother from London and that Ilhan had ‘embarrassed all of us by bringing him here,'” the source said.
Confronted on Capitol Hill this week, Omar claimed she had no idea what the federal probes were about — and refused to answer questions about Elmi, who described himself as a “gay man” in an academic paper.
When MS NOW anchor Chris Hayes asked her point-blank last month if she married her brother, she shockingly answered, “Not to my knowledge.”
In the past, she had vehemently denied the accusations as a “disgusting lie” and “racist conspiracy theory.”
