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.

RE: erupts at her own party

It’s My Party
by Lesley Gore (1963 hit)

Oh, it’s my party,
and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to,
cry if I want to
You would cry too
if it happened to you.

Because he’s an eventual threat to her Congress seat. That’s why.

I get my superpowers from being a mouth breather. You losers who breathe through their nostrils don’t have them. I can read minds and bend spoons. I admit I use a lot of chapstick.

Commies stick together.

Helps if they are linked by the magical name of Omar.

Her last name and his first name. Minnesota stuck in the middle.

The name Omar is of Arabic origin, meaning "flourishing," "long-lived," or "firstborn son," derived from the Arabic word 'umr' (life). It also has a Hebrew origin meaning "speaker" or "eloquent". The Arabic version is a prominent name in Islamic culture, notably that of the second caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattab.

RE: Where’s the Minn. Somalian Party?

As the boxer’s sparring partner said to Barbra Streisand in The Main Event when she said at the primitive training camp in the deep woods “I can’t find the lady’s room. Where is it?”
“Outside.”
“Where outside?”

He informed her:
“All over.”

RE: There’s something not right with the shape of Fateh’s head.

His development concluded without leaving a large place in his cranium for brain cells. Gets along without them.

Plus he can save money by buying boy size caps at the store.

Like they said about Dukakis: “He’s the grim guy in the boys’ department suits.”

She still wishes she was in Somalia and can make America as terrible as it is there.

But don’t you think her appearance in The Owl and the Pussycat and What’s Up, Doc were ahead of The Main Event, by a nose? 👃

Funny how ‘diversity’ has turned out to be our weakness, not our strength. America’s becoming so fragmented these days, it may be impossible to hold it together.

It's the inbreeding that does that.
