....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.”

She probably pulled it off with vote fraud.
In any case massive vote fraud will used in the election.
Makes no difference
She could of won by one vote
A w is still a w for this creep
Unfortunately, “almost” only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
****************
And nuclear war. You don’t need to hit the guy with a nuke. Anywhere in his ZIP Code should be close enough.
Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
She lied to get into the country.
She lied to get citizenship.
She married her brother to fraudulently get him a green card.
If those who voted against her in the primary, vote against her in the general...
The district could go red, just because they want her gone.
They get everything they deserve.
Her seat is as safe as any, it’s Minnesota.
True, I just keep wishing they were as sick and disgusted with her as I am.
Did they do the nasty?
You mean the brother/husband?
Good post.
These Minnesotans of any faith and race deserve no sympathy for electing this horrid example of anti-Americanism coddled by our weak populace.
Cersei and Jaime, yeah.
Horseshoes, hand grenades, and NUC-you-ar warfare...
Maybe she’ll take a lesson from it but I suspect she won’t.
She definitely won’t, per the rest of the article.
I wish the “almost” wasn’t there.
If the Republicans had tossed some money to her democrat opponent, there’s a good chance this Somali ingrate would have lost the primary.
Nah, the white liberals there love her too much.
Not with the ballot box stuffing brigade on duty.

Now that’s sound strategic thinking. Unfortunately, the Republican leadership is more interested in martini time at the country club.
