Minneapolis Mayoral Candidate Says Somalia Is His ‘Home’
The Federalist ^ | July 15, 2025 | Brianna Lyman

Posted on 07/16/2025 9:03:08 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

A candidate running for mayor of Minneapolis has called Somalia his “home” despite being born in America and running for American office.

Omar Fateh, a current Minnesota state senator and mayoral candidate, was born in Washington, D.C., to Somali immigrants. Yet, during his state Senate campaign, he repeatedly referred to Somalia as his “home.”

“I understand that our Somali communities are all connected to each other, here in Minnesota and back home, and I ask for your support. There’s always been a link between our community here as well as back home and I’m running to bridge that gap and unite all of us and represent all of us because when we succeed here, we succeed everywhere.”

Though Fateh was running for a state legislative seat — an office intended to serve the interests of Minnesotans — his comments framed his campaign as representing Somalians both locally and abroad. His perspective suggests a view of political stewardship that extends beyond American constituents alone.

Once has to ask - what good have Somali immigrants done for the USA? I am looking, and haven’t found anything.

They take low wage jobs in the urban service industry. All this has done has suppressed the market for such low end jobs, subsidized the likes of McDonalds and Walmart, while the vast majority of Somalis are a purposeful burden on the US taxpayer

And I’m not even going to get into the leftist/political/cultural destruction and division they have caused, organized by America’s left.

That’s fine. Time for him to return home. Bye Bye now, and take those who would vote for you also.

There you go with the dual citizenship crap. This boy is loyal to Afrika and he wants to rule over Americans. The Minnies are just dumb enough to elect him like they did Tiny Timmy the Tampon Guy. American citizenship is cheap. Come to America, drop a load and you’re in. Free stuff and all.

Well, in northern Colorado, the Mexicans did jobs Americans wouldn't do, now the Somalis are doing jobs the Mexicans won't do.

They've also formed gangs, which of course is a perfectly American pastime.

Some have gotten jobs at DoorDash, which I don't get, because they're illiterate in their own language, let alone English.

Minneapolis doesn’t want to be outdone by NYC in leftist politics.

They are not here to enjoy the benefits of our way of life. They are here to turn this country into a $hithole worthy of the place they came from.

Minnesota will be the first muslim state. I remember when it was Scandinavian, with all the hard-working values of Scandinavians. No more. It’s where mohammed noor murdered Justine Damond and essentially got away with it.
