Some Democrats Searching for Primary Challenger to Ilhan Omar
Breitbart ^ | 7 Mar 19 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 03/07/2019 10:11:01 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Some Democrats have had enough of the repeated antisemitism coming from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and intend to primary her out of office, several sources familiar with an effort to recruit a candidate to run against her tell Breitbart News.

Several Democrats, speaking on condition of anonymity, described Omar’s repeated antisemitic episodes as “the elephant in the room” distracting from what Democrats are trying to do in their first few months of a new House majority heading into the all-important 2020 presidential election. As such, these Democrats say, they are seeking out a primary challenger in Minnesota’s fifth congressional district to remove her from office in the 2020 congressional elections.

While, as Breitbart News is revealing here, there is an ongoing effort to seek out a primary challenger to Omar, it remains to be seen if the effort will be successful. Those involved in doing the searching for a candidate–top Democrats with national profiles and connections to senior leaders throughout the party–would only speak on condition of anonymity for this piece, and expressed their ongoing agony as this week in particular has dragged out to the point where Democrats finally passed a resolution out of the House late Thursday condemning hatred and bigotry.

But they have been criticized by many Republicans, and even some Democrat members of Congress, for not going far enough and being too appeasing to this rising antisemitic sentiment inside the fringes of the Democrat Party as represented by Omar’s views.

“Republicans will never win this district,” one Democrat source familiar with the effort said, pointing to the fact that the district Omar represents is rated by the Cook Political Report’s Partisan Voting Index as a D+26 district–meaning it is heavily gerrymandered to favor Democrats by 26 percent over Republicans.

Good. Hopefully, AOC is on the "list" too.

They’re about to get a lesson in demographics.

Only thing that will bring down AOC is something criminal, like her allegedly hiding $1 million. Other than that, neither she or Omar are going anywhere. They are perfect examples of Representatives, actually representing their constituents. If anyone goes after them, they’ll play the victim, get even more sympathy and be harder to get rid of. As for Omar, the more somalian’s that move into Minneapolis, the better for her. Tlaib and Pressley aren’t far behind either of them.

The Dem’s opened up four Pandora’s boxes with this crew. May they reap what they sow.

Isn't she from a district heavy on Somali refugees? How are they going to primary her - with another Somali who is better at concealing anti-Jewish bigotry?

Anyway, the new progressive Democrat base would crucify the older Democrats for this. Muslims are at or very near the top of their victimology totem pole.

He is still said to be hiding in the desert somewhere.
His ISIS slaves are kinda mad about that, too.
If one really needs to hide in a desert, my first thought would be to go underground, at least for a certain amount of time.

Ha ha ha... They ALL should be, not just some.

I personally hope she keeps putting her manifesto out there for all to hear. We couldn’t have planted a better foil if we’d tried.

“If one really needs to hide in a desert, my first thought would be to go underground”

A lot of ISIS fighters and administrators are from the tribes native to the Syrian and Iraqi deserts, as well as along the Euphrates River Valley from Tabqa in Syria to Fallujah in Iraq. That is the ISIS Sunni heartland - relatives and tribes will hide them and cover for them with false identities.

Third country jihadis won’t be able to hide for long out there though.

I wonder how many house seats that the Dems have 100% control over just because of legale and eligale immigration I would guess just in California Minnesota and New York it’s at least 30 seats in just 3 states now on the other side the GOP can anybody name one Congress seat that we have a hold on because of immigration I dought there is one I do believe that Trump will be the last Republican President after Trump the Dems will rule over us for about however long it takes them to completely destroy the only hope of real freedom our world has ever known America was the greatest gift besides life itself and our creator I’ve ever known or ever could have known there is still a lot of good compassionate people in our country but the evil has dug in and there is no reasoning with these people so it either surrender just like the GOP already has or go to war it’s so sad what evil and Satan can do to people that can’t think for there selves

You can blame THESE 4 men for Ilhan Omar. THESE 4 men imported hundreds of thousands of Somalis into the United States, planting them in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Portland, Maine, wrecking communities there forever. Find a challenger in her ISIS-majority 5th district NOW? Fat chance!

They’re of the generation that has never been told, No. Always someone else’s fault.

And that tells you all you need to know about the Democrat Party in 2019. They know it's wrong, but they won't stand up and say it. Party Uber Alles.

She is from Cedar/Riverside in Minneapolis. It’s not really a part of the USA anymore. She is safe forever.

Sorry, but her hood is ripe with Somalians that will just elect her again. Her claws are set into America’s backside and she will retire from the Swamp at the ripe old age of 100.
