A video circulating on Facebook claims Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was ousted from her congressional seat by members of her own party.
"Finally! House Democrats Kicks Ilhan Omar out of Congress (sic)," the video is titled in an July 8 post from a "gaming" page on Facebook.
The video has been viewed more than 740,000 times and drawn thousands of reactions and comments. Some celebrated Omar's supposed ejection from Congress, while more skeptical commenters questioned the video.
The video has some relation to Omar, but it certainly doesn't show her being kicked out of Congress, where she is an active member of the House of Representatives.
The grainy, three-minute-long video shows conservative Minnesota state legislators in 2019 requesting the IRS audit Omar for what they allege is tax fraud and misuse of campaign finances. Though the video's preview screen is an image of Omar, it does not include any footage of the congresswoman.
USA TODAY reached out to the page that shared the post for comment.
