While Rep. Ilhan Omar , D-Minn., has been denying accusations she's racked up a multimillion-dollar net worth since getting elected to Congress, her daughter has continued her hard-left political activism and support for communist causes that began when she was just 12.

Previously unreported ‘liabilities’ erase wealth!" The New York Post reported in 2024 that Hirsi participated in demonstrations as early as age 12, when she joined Omar and their family at a Black Lives Matter event that forced the Mall of America to shut down. The demonstration was later stopped by 50 riot control cops and more than 200 police officers. At about age 15, Hirsi co-founded and served as co-executive director of the U.S. Youth Climate Strike, a branch of activist Greta Thunberg ’s organization, Fridays for Future,…
