Lacy Johnson has been living in North Minneapolis for 40 years. He raised his two sons, Darien and Adrian, in North Minneapolis and knows there is so much potential yet to be unlocked for his hometown.
Johnson is running against far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar, whom he believes espouses hate-speech. The Federalist sat down with Johnson to discuss his plans for MN-5 if elected.
Chrissy Clark (CC): Can you explain your background and why you have decided to run against Ilhan Omar?

I saw that black Americans were voting 80 to 85 percent Democrat. I also saw that Democrats wasn’t doing anything to help our situation. I don’t agree with the Democrat principles. I agree with the Republican principles of free enterprise, responsibility, fiscally conservative. There are some issues I’m socially conservative on because of my Southern Baptist background.***
But once again, I have a very diverse district and I think my goal is to reduce the dependency of our community on government solutions, looking to the government for money, and looking to the government to supply our families for what we need. I hold a mirror up to my fellow black men and say Hey look, we need to do better. We need to support our family, we need to take care of our family, we need to accept that responsibility, and not lean on other people to do it. Once we do that, we can revive economics in the area and reduce everybody’s taxes. I’m for low taxes.

But, the Republican National Committee has identified my district as one they really want to pour some resources into and help increase the turnout. So, they will be supplying some manpower.

On the other hand, Omar is such a loon, she may be beatable, if she doesn't go to jail.
Needs to be clean clean clean. They will go after him with everything!!!!!
Looks like a great candidate. It’s tough to win in a D+25 district just running a good candidate though. It might behoove the GOP to put some resources into winning some of the on the ground battles over tangentially-related stuff like school choice, economic development, etc. Build a case over the course of several election cycles.
A reincarnated Prince could run as a Republican in MN 5 and lose by 15 points.
MN 5 had 29.5% absentee ballots in 2016 (29.5% of total ballots cast were absentee) and Our Muslim Brother Keith is the AG, so nothing to see here, move along.
Good thing having Ilhan Omar in congress is the gift that will keep giving.
This guy could be great, but he needs to move to the suburbs or Texas if he wants to be in Congress.
Exactly. She was elected by her fellow muslims and she will be kept in that seat by her fellow muslims. Toss in a healthy dose of white, guilty liberals and she there for as long as she wants to be, she moves up the ladder-Senator or Governor, or she’s found out to have committed fraud on a whole bunch of levels and is prosecuted.
With 29.5% absentee ballots, her “fellow muslims” could be fighting FOR ISIS in Syria, Iraq or Somalia for all Mo-Bro Keith knows.
Where she goes, scandals will follow. Her whole life is a lie and she’ll be in congress as long as she wants. Perfect.
She needs to get stronger and more known for sleeping around with soy-boys. I’m sure the people in america that “can’t be racists” absolutely love that, since liberals think just being a black cop in America is a “race trader”.
Trump can wrap her around the Democrats neck anytime he wants.

Yup ..... Dem leadership may not like her, and the others, much, but they play an important role in drawing lots of attention to themselves and away from Pelosi, et al. Maybe, just maybe, someone might be able to launch an investigation of her background(doubtful) and prove that she’s a fraud. Until then, you are 100% correct.
if the demonratcommiescumbag does go to jail will hopefully be Beaten !!!
