So called “fact checking” websites refuse to debunk, confirm, or even so much as mention PJ Media’s alleged “evidence” that Ilhan Omar married her brother in order to commit immigration fraud

Ten months ago, I wrote the following:

Im publicly asking the Washington Post to please either confirm or debunk PJ Medias evidence that Ilhan Omar married her brother in order to commit immigration fraud

PJ Media is a right wing website. Its not considered to be part of the mainstream media, and you certainly cant cite it as a source when adding content to wikipedia.

That being said, I am a long term reader of PJ Media, and I tend to view most of what it publishes as being credible. I certainly dont have anything against the website.

PJ Media has published what it claims are photographs, school records, and other documents which, when taken together, prove that Ilhan Omar married her brother in order to commit immigration fraud.

You can read these PJ Media articles and look at their evidence here, here, here, here, and here.

I dont know if these alleged photographs, school records, and other documents are real or fake.

If they are real, then the public deserves to know.

If hey are fake, then whoever created them deserves to be sued for defamation.

As far as I know, Omar has not filed any defamation lawsuits regarding these alleged photographs, school records, and other documents.

I am publicly asking the Washington Post to please investigate these alleged photographs, school records, and other documents, and either confirm or debunk the claim that Omar married her brother in order to commit immigration fraud.

So far, the only thing the mainstream media has been willing to report is that Omar says she never married her brother.

But I dont care what Omar says.

Instead, I want to know if this evidence is real or fake.

As far as I can tell, even though many of the so-called “fact checking” websites have written about the claim that Omar married her brother, none of them has been willing to debunk, confirm, or even mention any this alleged “evidence” from PJ Media.

The Washington Post, PolitiFact, Snopes, the New York Times, Media Matters, Mother Jones, the Daily Beast, and many other so-called “fact checking” websites have written articles about the claim that Omar married her brother.

However, none of those articles debunks, confirms, or even mentions this alleged “evidence” presented by PJ Media.

What is the purpose of even having a “fact checking” website if it doesn’t even acknowledge the kinds of claims being made by PJ Media?

I think that deep down inside, these “fact checking” websites are worried that PJ Media’s “evidence” might actually be true, and this is why they won’t even so much as mention PJ Media’s claims.

Fact checking sites exist solely to push the socialist agenda.

What???? You mean Snopes is a partisan hack site? NO WAY! Next you’ll tell me that they the Nobel Peace Prize is given only to the truly deserving. Or, or, that the Academy Awards are never given to crappy movies as long as they have the correct political agenda. Or that Liberals constantly give each other awards. Come on, man!

The Washington Post, PolitiFact, Snopes, the New York Times, Media Matters, Mother Jones, the Daily Beast, and many other so-called fact checking websites... Fact checker? They may claim to be, but they are LIARS. Fake news. EVERY thing they post is to extend the Commie Left narrative.

Just like Nearly every Democrat / Leftist operation, they are named the opposite of what their actual mission is. Just a few examples:

The Affordable Care Act

People for the American Way

American Civil Liberties Union

Planned Parenthood

Other than something to speculate or gossip about, what difference does it make now? She’s been elected to congress. Someone could say it ‘goes against accepted standards’ for US Congresspeople, but any move to oust her would need broad and unwavering support. I don’t see either party with enough nerve to make a big deal of it, ‘accepted standards’ or not.

This should have been brought up prior to her election.

Last sentence says it all: “I think that deep down inside, these fact checking websites are worried that PJ Medias evidence might actually be true, and this is why they wont even so much as mention PJ Medias claims.”
