A lot.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News is reporting<\/a> that Rep. Ilhan Omar\u2019s campaign has paid out comparatively little in consulting fees after cutting ties with a firm co-owned by her husband.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings reviewed by the outlet, Omar\u2019s payments to political consultants fell to around $1 million during the 2022 midterm election season.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

That is a two-thirds decline from the nearly $3 million she had paid to E Street Group, a firm co-owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, during the 2020 election cycle, when she faced a far less competitive primary challenger.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

By the way, they’re referring to her current husband. Not the guy who was no way, no how her brother, you racist. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
