(PolitiFact) A recent Facebook post adds criminal and daughter of a terrorist to the list of baseless accusations that have been made about U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
The photo, published Aug. 1 by a conservative Facebook page called Tactical Hospitality, makes a variety of claims about Omar, some of which are related to previous fact-checks about her family history and comments about al-Qaida.
Two claims were new to us: The post said Omar has been “arrested 23 times” and is the “daughter of (a) Somali terrorist.”
“From jail cell, to Congress,” claims the photo, which includes images of Omar’s purported mugshot and another of her being sworn in as a congresswoman.
