Ilhan Omar braces for primary rematch after watching two ‘Squad’ allies fall
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/11/2024 | Conrad Hoyt

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is two days away from learning whether she has won the Democratic primary for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, essentially ensuring her path to reelection.

Her challenger, a familiar foe in former Minneapolis Councilman Don Samuels, believes he can unseat the sitting Democrat, arguing while campaigning on Sunday that she has been “divisive.”

“The voters have had three terms under Congresswoman Omar’s leadership and service,” Samuels said to FOX 9. “They are dissatisfied.”

“She goes hard after one point of view, condemns the other point of view, alienates half of her district, and becomes divisive,” he added.

Yes. Not only should she be voted 🗳 out, she should also be deported back to Somalia 🇸🇴.

Open primary, so even more hope she is booted from Congress, then deported.

Republicans have to cross over. This is the best way to get rid of her. This would be a boon for the country. Thankfully this is a primary where anyone can vote.

She is way ahead of her challenger. She’s up almost 30%. from the poll I saw anyway.

Notice how the Democrats and the media aren’t saying much about either Cori Bush or Jamaal Bowman. I’m sure quietly they’re happy that those two “Squad” members went down to defeat and are hoping that Ilhan Omar is defeated in her primary too.

The Democrats want to project a “moderate” image to the voters as they always do at election time even though the “Squad” expresses the true sentiments that their party espouses and believes in. Incidentally, both Bush and Bowman were heavily outspent by their opponents with millions spent by groups who are heavily pro-Israel. Hypocrisy knows no bounds in the Democrat Party.

*We can only hope that she goes down to defeat.*
WHAT’S THIS WE? Crossover voting. If we don’t do it there’s no hope for the party. How did she last 6 years?

Open primary, so even more hope she is booted from Congress, then deported. First the primary, then President-elect Trump, you know.

*Republicans have to cross over.*
duh!

She’ll stay. Remember how women were so upset when Princess Diana died? AOC is the left’s version. All we need is for AOC to talk about land mines.

Oh, that’s right! That’s not been said for a while. They shelve these things.
