Somali voter explains his switch to Trump: ‘Very conservative people’
Alpha News ^ | 8/6/24 | Liz Collin

Somali voters in Minnesota are coming forward to support former President Donald Trump and vote for conservative candidates in November.

Salman Fiqy, a small business owner who recently ran in the Republican primary for a seat in the Minnesota House, joined Liz Collin Reports to explain why.

He was recently pictured right behind President Trump at a rally in St. Cloud. Minnesota has the largest Somali population in the United States with about 90,000 residents.

“This is a long conclusion that we arrived to. Due to many issues, the reason why we supported … soon to be President Donald Trump is due to some issues … some of the issues are education issues, economic issues, safety, and many other issues,” Fiqy said.

Fiqy said the reaction by so many people to seeing him seated behind Trump has been positive.

“Safety is one of the major concerns of the Somali community because if we look back at what happened in 2020 in the riots, Lake Street tends to be residential or where the Somali population have businesses and reside in. Many businesses went out of business because of the riots and the business activities have declined, as you may know,” he remarked.

This could be an interesting development in Minnesota. Will a sizable portion of the Somali voters move to supporting Trump? How will the selection of Walz as the VP nominee affect the votes of this group?

“”Will a sizable portion of the Somali voters move to supporting Trump?””

If it means a large percentage of them intend to get rid of the one in the turban....hooray!

sounds like propaganda.

Omar and her ilk will conduct a very large and successful (and illegal) ballot-harvesting, vote-buying and intimidation operation within the Somali community.

come in under bs methods, then now that you realize those same people who helped you get here are thwarting life opportunities and quality for those here, switch to the other side?

Hope you truly get converted in all areas not just your pocket book. Truly abide by all the other Constitutional stuff.

As long as the Somalis are citizens, this is great. That said, the problem with this country continues to be stupid white people who vote for Democrats. If whites voted their interests like every other demographic, the Democrats would never win. You have to truly understand what a psyop the Dems have done on white people, shaming them for being white, to appreciate just how evil they are.

Thank you! Every Somali could support Trump and vote for Trump. IT WILL NOT MATTER. The cheat will be worse than in 2020.

Of course, I posted this article because I found it interesting that just a few Somali’s are publicly expressing their opinions of Democrat “governance. But, I seriously doubt more than a dozen or so of the Somali’s are going to vote GOP. They know which side of the bread has the butter. They aren’t going to give up the grants, tax breaks, and other $$$ the Democrats send their way.

Minnesota’s primary is coming up next week. We will see how “conservative” these voters are when it comes time to cast their ballots.
