....the heavily-favored Ilhan Omar almost lost her primary race. The repugnant representative prevailed by fewer than 2,500 votes over a retired septuagenarian named Don Samuels.
.....
Maybe Omar’s anti-Semitism no longer plays well in the most Jewish district in Minnesota, or maybe her anti-police bigotry no longer appeals to a high crime district that voted last year not to defund the police.
Amid low voter turnout and disdain toward her noxious beliefs, Omar amassed only 50.3% of the overall vote and also barely totaled half of her vote total from two years ago.
This was the closest a Democrat U.S. representative from Minnesota has come to losing a primary in more than 80 years. Omar defeated challenger Antone Melton-Meaux by 20 points last time and topped her opponent by similar numbers during her first run in 2018.
“It shows that people are dissatisfied with her performance,” Samuel, the former Minneapolis City Council member, explained. “Even with all the advantages of incumbency and endorsement and recognition and the odds, all of that, that she still could lose an election because people are so dissatisfied.”
Samuels probably outperformed expectations because he led the opposition to last year’s referendum about abolishing the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD).
Omar odiously supported replacing the MPD but Minneapolis voters — especially the poor and minorities — rejected the dangerous proposal.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Jewish Democrat who, along with several mayors in Omar’s district, supported Samuels, condemned the congresswoman Tuesday, saying in part, “it’s not just about sending out vitriolic tweets and being mean-spirited. It’s about working with people.”
When Omar saw her support crater in every part of the Fifth District, she predictably did not reflect. Instead, she chose to play the victim..."

BTW, why would anti-Semitism ever play well in a Jewish district? To belie the "smart, savvy" Jewish stereotype, or because of a collective death wish typical of leftards?
Rat Party Headquarters (and their operatives on the ground in Minnesota) will make sure she prevails in November...if you catch my drift.
They know she’s a snake.
The reality is that it’s more than 65% WHITE, and — according to this article — the most heavily Jewish district in Minnesota.
That tells you everything you need to know about the losers who live there.
What’s shocking to me is that she won the primary.

Unfortunately, “almost” only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Almost isn’t good enough.
> why would anti-Semitism ever play well in a Jewish district?
Because in Minneapolis a lot of them are Self-Loathing Jews. It’s a splinter group off Reform Judaism.
Bkmk

And boy, did they have to work fast to forge those ballots at the last minute!
And nuclear wessles, err weapons
They knew that last time. I guess she bit some of them.
They may have to suffer a couple more years before they cop a clue.
Can’t be too bright to elect that racist POS to begin with
She didn’t lose so that’s not a good thing. So, how stoopied are her constituents? REAL! Promises made, promises delayed. It’s what demokkkommies do.
She won the primary.
Reminds me of a story about a guy who ran a motel.
“You know that new throughway has ruined my business,”
“What? You have a no vacancy sign on every night!”
“Yeah, but before I used to have to turn away fifty people a night and now I only have to turn away ten!”
>>....the heavily-favored Ilhan Omar almost lost her primary race.<<
Someone who belongs on a Somali pirate vessel still won a seat in Congress in America. Shameful news.
But it didn’t.
She must not be odious enough for Democrats to bother to show up to vote her out, or for them to vote for the Republican, bless their hearts.
Brain dead sob’s ....
