🧵 THREAD: Timothy Mynett: Ilhan Omar's husband and the progressive money man you've probably never heard of
Ilhan Omar's wealth headlines ($30M net worth 👀) are dominating today's feeds. But behind that story is someone far less visible: her husband, Tim Mynett.
Not the ex with the bizarre "married her brother" rumor. This one is far more interesting, and far more connected.
For nearly two decades, Mynett has been the quiet operator raising millions, plugging into D.C.’s progressive networks, and eventually pivoting into global business ventures.
📚 From poli-sci undergrad in New York...
⚖️ To moving foundation money at Alliance for Justice...
💼 To consulting alongside Obama’s inner circle at New Partners...
He's climbed rung by rung through the fundraising machine that fuels progressive politics.
This thread unpacks:
➡️ His rise through nonprofits & campaigns
➡️ His deep ties across the progressive donor universe
➡️ The surprising pivots... from digital firms to wine, cannabis, and impact investing with ex-ambassadors
👇 Let's dig in.
I know people are celebrating that the Trump admin is actually seeking to denaturalize & Deport Ilhan Omar.
However,
If this actually does happen, we are going to have to discuss its implications.
A third world immigrant defrauded our country, and got herself elected to Congress.
And the Democrat party helped her every step of the way, made her a media darling, and STILL defend her to this very moment.
That deserves attention as it is significantly more serious than just saying “haha deport her”.
Everyone involved in the scam must answer for it.
Democrats say that it’s immoral for billionaires to exist.
They also say that it’s immoral for billionaires to not help Ukraine.
But not all billionaires are required to help Ukraine. Just Elon Musk. The other billionaires like Hoffman, Gates, Zuckerberg, and Bezos aren’t required to give anything to Ukraine. They can just play on their yachts.
It’s only Musk who is required to help Ukraine, even though his wealth and his companies should not exist, according to Democrats.
@floridasunfl@DeniseNZ44@elonmusk Musk volunteers for the beginning but is running a private business and turns it over to the government.
Duh 🙄.
Just how long should he support a war?
It’s important to reflect on just how pathological these people are all over the world. Alexandre. Ursula. Jacinda. Obama/Hillary/Gates. Utterly dogmatic in their certainty. Intolerant to the point of hostile and aggressive. Mad at their unpopularity and so arrogant that they scapegoat “the algorithm” to avoid a deeper narcissistic wounding. It’s such obvious bullshit. They demand their critics be silenced and then clutch their pearls in horror when you ask them how they’ll feel being censored by their enemies. They are all the same pathological creeps who think they are enlightened and find themselves hated and thus seek to persecute people for daring to disagree with them that maybe men can’t become women and mass migration isn’t great for working people and national cultures and that hysterical climate policies are bad for the economy.
Here’s a Politico reporter winning sympathy and a warm laugh from other reporters in the audience about the supposedly mean things @elonmusk and @PaulineHansonOz wrote about her online.
I mean seriously. A journalist is upset that people are criticizing Australia’s authoritarian censor
Even Pravda at the height of communism wasn’t this obeisant.
