Ilhan Omar erupts at own party for reneging on socialist candidate's endorsement: 'Inexcusable'
Fox News ^ | 8/22/25 | Elizabeth Elkind

Posted on 08/22/2025 3:09:37 PM PDT by Libloather

A progressive House "Squad" member is attacking her own state party leadership for going back on its endorsement of a self-described democratic socialist to be mayor of Minneapolis.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called out the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), the Democrats' affiliate group in Minnesota, late on Thursday night after it revoked its endorsement of state Sen. Omar Fateh.

DFL leaders cited "substantial failures" in its endorsement convention process.

"It is inexcusable to overturn the DFL endorsement from Omar Fateh," Omar wrote on X. "A small group, a majority living outside Minneapolis, met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates who volunteered, organized, and participated in a months-long DFL process. Unacceptable."

The progressive House Democrat also led other DFL officials in a letter announcing they "strongly condemn" the move.

"Right now, there is a clear tension between the progressive Democrats who are challenging the status quo and moderate Democrats," Omar and other left-wing officials wrote.

"It is extremely disheartening that Omar Fateh, the first Black mayoral candidate to be DFL-endorsed in the last three decades, will have his endorsement revoked."

Omar has not yet made a public endorsement in the race, which is set for November 2025.

Fateh, who described himself as a "democratic socialist" in an October 2020 interview with Jacobin Magazine, defeated several other Democrat hopefuls to clinch his state party's endorsement after a July 2025 endorsing convention.

Among the primary candidates he defeated at the time was current Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who is running for a third term.

Omar and her Somali gang captured the state and they want it to stay captured. Recall that it was 41 who got us involved with Somalia, the big dope.

Thank George Bush for bringing the Somalis into Minnesota and Maine. Culture enrichment at it’s finest.

The state DFL sanctioned the Minneapolis DFL for cheating during the endorsement vote and banned them from issuing endorsements for the next two years.

If Omar is going apoplectic, it means I’m having a good day.

It may be inexcusable to withdraw support of candidate Omar Fateh, but the Minnesota is in an existential struggle to maintain credibility in an increasingly splintered political landscape.

Hubert Humphrey would not recognize what the DFL has become. Political reliability is not what it used to be.

Most of the Somalis here in Maine actually came up to Maine from Ohio, Minnesota and Georgia because of two reasons.

Their number one complaint: They and black americans did not get along. They say they cant even understand the black american english so they chose a state with a small black american population.

Number two: The state of Maine was advertising to them in those states to come to live in Maine informing them of the many social benefits they could take advantage of.

Oh.... and you know where many of those Somalis that went to Ohio, Georgia and Minnesota actually came from?

UK and other Western European nations. Once a citizen of Europe, you qualify for a US VISA. Yes, many are Europe’s share of accepted Somali refugees now living in USA.

Many of the men have wives and children still living in Europe and even heard they claim them as dependents on their income tax.

Insects are not aware they are committing incest.

Insect incest isn’t nicest.

As Chris Rock said, “The only black people in Minnesota are Prince and Kirby Puckett.”
