Ilhan Omar's GOP challenger eyes upset in November, hits 'unthinking' call to defund police
Fox News ^ | 6/13/20 | Adam Shaw

Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Republican-endorsed challenger is pushing back against what he calls the radical congresswoman’s “unthinking” call to defund the Minneapolis Police Department -- and says he believes he has a good chance of climbing a “political Mount Everest” and unseating her in November.

“It’s just a quick, unthinking type of solution that goes along with her way of thinking and her way of doing business, and I think it’s just a bad idea all the way around,” Lacy Johnson told Fox News of the push to defund the police, which he also called “dangerous” and “reckless.”

**SNIP**

In the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month, Omar has responded by backing activists' calls to defund and even abolish the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD). She went so far recently as to call the MPD a “cancer.”

“The Minneapolis Police Department is rotten to the root, and so when we dismantle it, we get rid of that cancer, and we allow for something beautiful to rise, and that reimagining allows us to figure out what public safety looks like for us,” she said.

But Johnson says that while many people share the outrage about Floyd -- who died after a police officer knelt into his neck for more than eight minutes -- he says defunding the police doesn’t deal with root-cause issues such as education and the economy. He also believes it doesn’t reflect the views of her district.

“Some of us know a lot of these officers personally and know that maybe 99.9 percent of them are good officers, so we want to work with everybody to bring everyone together and bring everybody to the table to get them solved,” he said.

“So she’s gone too far off-center, in fact she’s gone all the way off the road into the ditch on that particular idea,’ he said.

She's a kook, Jim.

Sadly, it seems a majority of the rest of the country has joyfully jumped into the ditch with her.

width=”420” added to your IMG SRC reduces the size of the image. Give it a whirl.

Her district leans so heavily to the left she could say the police should be killed and still win.

LACY BE AWARE———DEMOCRAT VOTER FRAUD ACTIVITIES
One trick Dems will use......they contrive to have mail-in ballots sent to PO Boxes.The box-holder has no use for it and discards it.The conniving Dems go to area Post Offices and fish the ballots out of the trash, fill them out for their candidates, and mail them in.


Being in possession of a ballot that does not have your name on it should earn you an automatic 10 years in the slammer. (Unless you are an employee of USPS)…..Personally I think ballots should be tagged just like our currency and CC cards are….
Dems were caught cheating in Mi for 2016 so for the 2018 primaries they had a large Cafornistan collation of angry Whamen bussed there to brigade the voters and push ANY woman into office they could. That’s how they wound up with Whitmer and Talib. 2020 MI will be a struggle.

The teacher’s union is furious they were left out of the economy boom. Greenies hate cars and want to horde great lakes water for themselves. Gimmiedats burden urban strongholds with high welfare needs.

Elitist liberal universities where Hollywood kids attend are huge donors to the DNC. Large pockets of LGBT in affluent sub burbs. Amway’s world HQ and ties to Romney. Socialist Canadian neighbors. Mlive.com, Detroit News/Free Press, and WWJ News Radio (owned by CBS) are extremely biased.

Voter fraud disenfranchises every legal valid vote. States that can’t run a clean election should be barred from federal elections and lose their seats in the congress and senate.


Pelosi wants nationalized ballot harvesting, forcing states to accept unlimited ballot harvesting everywhere.
Democrats used Cali’s b/h law to flip seven red districts blue. B/H is banned in other states b/c of the potential for voter fraud.

POWER-MAD PELOSI HYPES VOTER FRAUD ON THE BACKS OF STRUGGLING AMERICANS.
<><>B/H allows anyone to collect and turn in someone else’s ballot with no limits.
<><> one trick is absentee ballots sent to PO boxes. The box holder discards the ballot which is then retrieved by ballot harvesters.

IMPLANTING WEAKNESSES IN THE VOTING PROCESS THAT DEMOCRAPS EXPLOIT TO STEAL SEATS
<><> Ranked voting
<><> Mail in ballots
<><> Early voting
<><> Motor voter and post office registration
<><> Unwillingness to cleanse voter rolls
<><> Making election day a holiday
<><> Expansions of absentee voting
<><> Expanded voting hours
<><>Resistance to voter ID lawsJUST SOME OF THE DEMOCRAP VOTER FRAUD PRACTICED TODAY:
<><> Chinese voter registration drive credited with flipping VA

<><> In Michigan, the secretary of state is where people go for drivers licenses. The SoS is registering everyone up to vote unless they specifically say they would not like to be signed up. This has led to voter registration cards being set up even if not signed by the potential voter. For the May ballot, the governor has mandated absentee ballots be mailed to every new registrant even if they have not asked to be registered or to receive an absentee ballot.

<><> Soros OWNS electronic voting machines he leases to over 25 states.
<><> People wandering the Malls are ‘registering’ voters; getting paid for each one. NO ID is asked for & people can register more than once.

<><>There is NO system in place for death certificates to be forwarded to the Registrar of Voters to REMOVE a dead person from the voting rolls.
Voter fraud and election experts detailed findings from a cyber/forensic investigation reveal
compromised voting machines in 2018 (and quite probably, in the recent KY and LA governors’ races).
(1) security protections in voting machines were disabled,
(2) penetration and manipulation of actual vote tabulations was and is possible, and
(3) evidence already exists that votes were surreptitiously, electronically manipulated to change election results.
Broward Fla 2018 was a dress rehearsal for massive 2020 voter fraud:
<><> Expect voter fraud in every single district with a Dem supervisor of elections.
<><> Dems will find sympathetic ballot printers, they’ll shred ones from the military.
<><> put people on notice NOW so more people are watching for it.

ELSEWHERE:
<><> buying homes in needed voting districts then busing in illegals as tenant/voters;
<><> illegal aliens added from voter registration DMV database -
<><> 175,000 purged voters put back on registration by Bevin opponent, now democrat governor Andy Beshear when he was KY AG.
<><> Repub Woman married to an Immigrant (not eligible to vote) moved out of Kentucky and unregistered as a precaution.
<><> yet she and her Immigrant husband both ”voted“ Democrat in Kentucky, though they lived elsewhere.
<><> dems have absentee ballots sent to PO Boxes, are discarded, then retrieved by vote fraudsters.
<><> modern-day slavery—herding native African into rubber dinghys-— to be sold in America as Democrat voters

Electronic fraud is rampant:
Dems calculate how many votes they are behind, how many votes still to be counted,
<><> they then trigger fraudulent software to fractionalize at random the votes being counted…... in just the right proportion to steal the election.
<><> One method of triggering is uploading a ballot that is marked completely illogically to the election management system to start the random shading routine.
<><>crooked software also survives check-sums and other elementary security checks.
<><> coded machines that gave every tenth vote to Hillary.

Is there any evidence to support this headline, or is this just wishful thinking?

She beat the republican in 2018 by 56 points. I don’t think she’ll be losing sleep.

Minneapolis is now the San Francisco of the Midwest. Teach them right if it gets burned down.
