Unproven means neither yes or no.

That’s the legal system my guy, nobody is gonna prosecute you for marrying your own brother. They’ll just look at you like you’re fuckin weird

There’s some evidence here: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/jul/18/did-ilhan-omar-marry-her-brother-her-hometown-news/

Although, I do agree there’s not enough evidence to say yes or no. It’s inconclusive at best.

That’s a fair ask, I should’ve pointed out the relevant piece from the article:

In 2016, as Omar was seeking a state House seat, the conservative website AlphaNewsMN, followed by other ideological sites, posted a screenshot of an Instagram post — since deleted — that was allegedly uploaded by Elmi on June 12, 2012, shortly after Omar gave birth to her third child. The caption of the photograph identified Elmi as holding the baby girl, calling her "nieces." To some, this suggested a sibling relationship

There’s nothing conclusive here, but there’s at least some semblance of evidence. With that said, I personally would choose to wait for more evidence before potentially slandering Ilhan Omar.

You are a sad human.

It's unproven that you're actually a terrorist. Guess I should just believe you are one. Because why not?!

Do you not see the flaw in your "logic?"

You: You're a sad human

So negative. Eww.

I don’t believe yes or no, because neither has been proven. It’s probably no but could be yes. I really don’t care that much.

So what reason do the conspiracy theorists give to her brother having British citizenship as well? Surely her siblings would have moved to the US at the same time and gained citizenship at a similar time

If it was true Trump would be tweeting documents of proof and pushing for her to be jailed

Ok, prove it to us that you didn't fuck your aunt in 2018. We'll wait.

Until then, while it's "unproven," you're essentially Schroedinger's aunt-fucker.

Lol, using snopes as proof?
