The previous Congressman from her district was Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Congress.
Minnesota loved Ellison so much they elected him state Attorney General, in spite of two domestic violence allegations by previous girlfriends, and his prior employment by Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam, and attending a 2013 dinner with Farrakhan and the president of Iran.
Keith Ellison:
All of Omar’s state level crimes are moot with Ellison as MN AG.
The type of Islam he represents is a very strange one. Ellison and Omar are Muslim in name only. They use the their faith as a political tool. Leftists have been using Islam as a tool for many years.
