Dalia al-Aqidi is a Muslim Iraqi refugee who says she’s tired of hearing Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., play identity politics while using language she believes is “dividing” America.
So she is launching a campaign to unseat her in November.
Al-Aqidi, who discussed her newly launched campaign in an interview with Fox News, joins a growing field of Republicans looking to take on Omar. “She needs to be stopped,” al-Aqidi told Fox News in a phone interview. “I truly believe that I’m strong enough to beat her at her own game.”
“Every time she opens her mouth she says something either anti-U.S. or anti-Semitic,” al-Aqidi said. Omar has apologized for past tweets about Israel that played on anti-Semitic tropes.
Omar is facing primary challenges from Democratic community organizer John Mason and attorney Antone Melton-Meaux. On the GOP side, al-Aqidi joins businessman Lacy Johnson, special-education professional Danielle Stella, minister and missionary Lucia Vogel, activist Alley Waterbury, and former auto sales manager Brent Whaley.

I don’t care which side wins this seat as long as THIS ANTI AMERICAN BITCH is gone!!! It would be great if it was a republican but if a different Dem wins so be it, I half expect Omar to strap on a suicide belt and blow up the capital this vile jihadi is FULL OF HATE!!!
Even the dems don’t want her.
