Democratic Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan praised Somali migrants in the state during a visit to a market in a video posted on YouTube Thursday.
President Donald Trump announced in November that he would end “Temporary Protected Status” for Somalis in the state in response to allegations of welfare fraud and said that the influx of refugees had “destroyed our country.” Flanagan, who wore a hijab, a head covering worn by some Muslim women, during her visit to the market, held a microphone during the video posted by Somali TV of Minnesota
“Salam Alaikum. My name’s Peggy Flanagan. I am the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, and I’m really honored and humbled to be here with all of you today,” Flanagan said. “I am incredibly clear that the Somali community is part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota. I think about my friendship with Nimco. We’ve been friends for almost 25 years and when I think of being part of Minnesota and growing up here, the Somali community has always been a part of my Minnesota.”
“So I want to just encourage the community to know that we’re with you, we’ve got your back,” Flanagan continued. “I am here shopping today and just encourage other folks to show up, support our Somali businesses, support our immigrant neighbors and I know that things are scary right now, and just know that there are more people who are looking out for you, there are more people who are here to support you than you know.”
United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is surging into the Minneapolis area to target illegal immigrants from Somalia after revelations involving at least $1 billion in fraud, with the Treasury Department investigating allegations that some of the proceeds from the scheme went to the radical Islamic terrorist group Al-Shabaab. Estimates of the fraud have increased to at least $9 billion, according to federal officials, noting that multiple programs were targeted.
State employees accused Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota of engaging in “systemic” retaliation against whistleblowers who warned of the fraud schemes on Nov. 30 as the Justice Department is prosecuting multiple federal cases. Walz admitted thatthe state “attracts criminals,” but demanded that Somali residents not be demonized during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I will continue to stand with the Somali community, to be with you, and to do all I can to return the friendship and community that the Somali community has shown me,” Flanagan said.

What kind of a worm of a person would grovel so?
One who’s desperate for a career in Mn politics!
Dhimmiwit dhimmicrat.
75% of Somali’s are on welfare. 75.
“Estimates of the fraud have increased to at least $9 billion...”
Great community she is encouraging. Unbelievable!
GUILTY OF AIDING & ABETTING
$$$
You can bet she lives far, far away from Somalis and the markets she patronizes do not have Somali shoppers - that is if she even does her own shopping.
She also has armed security to protect her wherever she goes - unlike the rest of us who are forced to share living space with these beasts.
Maybe it’s time to assist them in reconsidering their deductions. In 2022, Minneapolis received approximately $21.9B dollars of federal funds, or which encompassed roughly 25.7% of their revenues.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks. Let them eat cake.

Today's politician is a pimp and a whore. They spread their legs for anyone with a buck. They keep their low IQ, do nothing jobs by catering to whatever demographic dominates their district. The politician in question in the OP is in a district of 3rd world, low IQ, lawless mongrels.
Alexander Tyler: A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.
Wear your hijab, you stupid dhimmi female dog.
That is still less groveling than the mayor of Boston who claimed that Somalis were a big part of every Massachusetts achievement.
Minniesomalia needs to close all bars and marijuana pharmacies at least a month before elections daze and keep them closed for three months after the election. It appears that those crazy Minnies haven’t a clue who they are voting for.
100% vote for the Democrats.
