This morning we told you about Ilhan Omar deleting a 2013 father’s day tweet identifying her dad’s name as “Nur Said”, which is the ironically the same name of a man she married that many believe is her brother, Ahmed Nur Said.
Well now Omar has responded, explaining why she deleted the tweet and why she called her dad “Nur Said”:

Oh so it’s a nickname! Why didn’t we think of that? My bad.
Oh wait, does that mean her brother/husband/whatever that she married in 2008 has the same nickname as her dad? What a coincidence!
Ah well, at least there’s a good explanation for this that everyone will accept. I’m sure this will totally stop all the ‘conspiracy theories’ that plague poor Ilhan and her family.
