what is this %$(## the right is throwing at Ilhan Omar????

Reporting that she married her own brother to avoid immigration trouble?

Trump alluded to a problem for her:

“I’m looking at this Omar from Minnesota. And if one half of the things they’re saying about her are true she shouldn’t even be in office,” Trump said to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House."

And he was referring to that allegation of a "shady" marriage.

Be woke, Dems. Look around. See what they are up to. There's a whole other universe that 45 percent of America is seeing, reading, watching. We don't know their code, usually. I came across a twitter feed this morning that is full of their fake-ass complaints and threats.

The rating is far different. It says "Unproven". If you read the link they say they don't have access to various immigration records on this case. Nowhere do they say it is "largely untrue".

So anyone reading your post would think Snopes said it. My reading of the whole Snopes article and yours are far different.

primaried a Democratic incumbent for a very long time. The RW smear machine won't be able to hurt her with them. Imo, though, she could hurt herself by offering the smear machine factual ammo if she didn't exercise discipline. She's significantly farther left economically than her mostly mainstream white progressive liberal constituency and might even also be somewhat socially conservative.
