MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - As Democrat Antone Melton-Meaux meandered through racks of headscarves and clouds of spice and pepper, he carried a pointed message to the voters he courted at the city’s largest Somali market: I want to focus on the work, not being famous.
There’s no missing the target of the dig: Rep. Ilhan Omar. Omar, a liberal Democrat, made history two years ago as the first Somali-American elected to Congress and went on to make countless headlines for making controversial statements on Israel, for tangling with President Donald Trump and for a personal life that became tabloid fodder.
**SNIP**
“She has been ineffective in Washington because she is divisive, and she’s focused on her celebrity,” Melton-Meaux said.
Omar dismisses the criticism, along with Melton-Meaux, who she said is simply the beneficiary of deep-pocketed opponents who want to take her down.
“This campaign really isn’t about whether Ilhan is doing the work,” she said. “It’s about how effective we’ve actually been and how people don’t want that effectiveness to continue.”
Omar, 37, ordinarily would be expected to crush any opponent in the Aug. 11 primary in the heavily Democratic Minneapolis-area district. The former refugee from Somalia gained fame as one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress and as a charter member of “The Squad” of four progressive freshmen women of color.

She’s well-known for immigration fraud, tax cheating, funneling campaign money to her current husband, adultery, and being first and foremost a virulent anti-semite and America-hater. What anyone with an IQ above that of a pound of butter needs her in the Congress for, I couldn’t say.
I don’t suppose her multiple crimes have anything to do with targeting her!?
Nancy Pelosi transferred $14,000 to her campaign. I bet 90% of that goes to her husband’s consulting firm.
Note how they will not attack her illegal acts such as incest, immigration fraud, campaign finance redirdcting and many more.
Since ALL democrats do most of those (the incest is admittedly rather rare) they do not want to open that box.
I hope that’s a movie and not real. It makes Mad Max look tame.
It’s a photo of my family reunion.
We’re having a spirited game of Capture The Flag.
Omar is not targeted because of her celebrity. She is targeted because she is an American hater, a liar, a crook for the way she got into the country and for wanting to destroy the United States.
“ a liberal Democrat” - They are being kind. Humphrey, Moynahan, Mondale, Wellstone, Lewis were liberal Democrats. She is way past being any such thing.
She is a foreign anti American congresswoman...........Get rid of this nutburger.............
She whines and complains about anything and everything about America and will do the same when she loses her seat; will call it islamophobia.
Why haven’t charges been brought against her....oh yeah, she’s a dem.
How many votes did she get from her Somali brethren? Let me guess, 1400% of legal Somali migrants voted for her.
Its called vote fraud. Goes well with her almost million dollar embezzlment of her Political PAC and her immigration fraud and her Fradulent Incest marriage.
All Felonys, all bar her from any Government service And the immigration fraud require her to be DEPORTED.
WHEN IS SHE GOING TO PRISON?
The naming of this group the "Squad" by Pelosi was a preemptive strike to divert people from calling them by the name they deserve so much more: The Gang of Four.
“””What percentage of Somali in her district are legal citizens with the right to vote?”””
In the fall of 2018 I drove through her area most days. It was close to the MiniMogadishu part. Several months before the election there was designated parking for voters only in front of a building.
I figure it was a place where you could vote early and vote often. I didn’t see places like that anywhere else in Hennepin County.
I’m going to be the RPG guy for Halloween.
She should be stoned for adultery, according to Sharia which she advocates.
I thought she was targeted for being a commie.
