Elmi's reappearance also coincided with President Trump pushing his allegation that the Minnesota politician had supposedly married her brother to avoid U.S. immigration laws.
At a Pennsylvania rally on Tuesday, Trump repeated his accusation that Omar married her brother for immigration purposes, telling supporters:
"She married her brother in order to get in, right? She married her brother. Can you imagine if Donald Trump married his sister? Beautiful. She’s a beautiful person."
He continued: "If I married my sister to get my citizenship, do you think I'd last for about two hours or something less than that? She married her brother to get in. Therefore, she's here illegally. She should get the hell out."
