Minneapolis: Will Somali voters turn out for Ilhan Omar in 2020?

All four members of “The Squad” come from deep blue districts that normally are safe seats for Democrats. But Rep. Ilhan Omar, who represents the city of Minneapolis and a few inner ring suburbs, is now caught in a scandal that threatens to alienate her biggest voting bloc base, fellow Muslim Somalis, who emigrated to Minnesota by the tens of thousands at the behest of the  State Department that thought the generous welfare benefits of the North Star State could well be spent on people from a tropical climate transplanted to the coldest metropolis in the country.

Most readers are aware that the wife of a campaign consultant employed by Omar has, in divorce proceedings, accused the solon of carrying on an affair with her spouse, and the UK Daily Mail has sent photographers who have captured the twosome together apparently after spending the night together.

Ilhan Omar's brazen double life involving secret hookups, romantic vacations and talk of marriage to her DC strategist lover is today laid bare after an exclusive DailyMail.com investigation.

The leftist congresswoman, 37, spent months denying she had split from husband Ahmed Hirsi despite this website revealing she had left their marital home and was having an affair with a campaign aide.

She finally filed for divorce on October 7 - but still refuses to acknowledge her relationship with veteran Democratic schmoozer Tim Mynett, 38, whose wife also petitioned for divorce in August.

DailyMail.com can now disclose that Omar and Mynett are not only dating, but living together 'on and off' at a secret DC apartment, while plotting romantic vacations to Jamaica and making plans for a long-term future together.

Omar’s campaign has spent at least a quarter million dollars with her paramour’s consultancy, and the cash continues to flow to the lover.

She assimilated into the swamp quite well.

[Da Coyote]

Yes they will.

Next question.

[I want the USA back]

Yes, since most of them hate the country that gave them a home and money.

[dsrtsage]

They remember how awesome it was to be po’ in Africa and want Wypipo to experience the same poverty and violence here

[changeitback440]

how are they “voters”? did they somehow become “citizens”

[Savage Beast]

Why not extend voting rights to Somalis who are still in Somalia? I mean...why should they be discriminated against just because they haven't moved to the USA yet?

For that matter, why not extend voting rights to everyone in their home countries. I mean...don't they all deserve not to be discriminated against?

[devane617]

There are some really mentally disturbed people in MN. She will easily win reelection.

[Califreak]

That woman makes me want to puke every time I see her lying mug.

It wasn’t the Somali voters that elected her. It is the white liberals trying to show the coastal elite how progressive they are. Attention seeking SJW white liberals did this and they will do it again.

[Little Ray]

If they don’t vote, the Democrat Ward Captains will vote for them.

[morphing libertarian]

President remiss in not deporting her after all of her crimes and frauds.

RE: It wasn’t the Somali voters that elected her.

Have they done a survey after the 2018 Congressional elections of how many percent of voters of Somali descent voted for Ilhan Omar?

The answer ought to be “yes”, but I’m not sure.

[jjotto]

Omar won by 190,000+ votes. Unlikely as many as 50,000 of those came from Somalis, and probably less than half that. She carried mostly white middle-class suburbs by 60% or so.

[null and void]

The core problem in a democracy is people vote for representatives who are ‘just like them’...

[butlerweave]

Dems will hold their noses and vote for her again

[Spruce]

I’d be very surprised if she didn’t have at least 105% of the Somali vote. But the Somali enclave is geographically tiny. It’s an area that we used to call Hippy Town.

The fifth district is the largest in the state. And is about 70% Caucasian. And it is the Most Blue district in the entire region. Probably the Deepest Blue in the entire US. No way anyone wins that district without being a commie. They chose her because it feels good to have their own “Little brown Muslim girl”. Seriously. You get out and listen to the folks and that’s the attitude.

” She carried mostly white middle-class suburbs by 60% or so.”

The good people of Minnesota are so anxious to prove how good they are, that they are willing to vote someone into office who hates them.

It just shows how good those Minnesotans are.
