Nope, Liban Mohamed, definitely not a blonde.

Utah Democrats may be on the brink of an unexpected political realignment after a progressive newcomer pulled off a convention upset that has reshaped a closely watched House race.
Progressive first-time candidate Liban Mohamed narrowly won Utah Democrats’ convention endorsement Saturday in the state’s newly redrawn 1st Congressional District, defeating establishment favorite Ben McAdams, an outcome that has energized the party’s left flank.
Newsweek reached out to Mohamed via email for comment.
Some Democrats have framed this result as a potential turning point, with Angel Vice, chair of the Utah Democratic Party Women’s Caucus, telling the Deseret News after the vote that her party now has an opportunity for a “Mamdani moment."
Democrats use this term to describe a scenario in which energized progressive voters upend expectations and reshape a race once thought predictable, a reference to recent progressive breakthroughs in New York’s mayoral politics.
Mohamed’s upset has intensified national attention on a rare Democratic pickup opportunity in Utah and raised fresh questions about whether the party’s center of gravity is shifting left. The result reshapes a competitive Democratic primary and fuels speculation that in the Beehive State—long viewed as politically stable—may be entering a more volatile and ideologically dynamic era.

If this person is a socialist then they are not a progressive.
And we need to steal the word “liberal” back from them. That is not their word. That’s our word.
Probably a blonde, blue eyed muslim
We should call them Marxists or Communists because that is the accurate term to describe them except for maybe John Fetterman.
Nope, Liban Mohamed, definitely not a blonde.
You never know. Times are a changin’
This is the Dems playbook—elect the wildest progressive socialist communist possible by using those with TDS. It’s working because they are too dumb to know the fallout.
WOW
Commie Sam from NewSpeak
has his POM POM out and Giggle like a Groupie .
This is the scary state of radical Left Propaganda from Dollar Store NewSpeak and reads like the terrifying 1984 novel.
Salt Lake City was Massively Invaded during COVID from Cali Commie plus Univ of Utah is hard left.
The Mayor is a TRUE Cali Left female disaster.
Well, he will never be either a natural blonde, not will his iris ever naturally become blue. Of course, he could always dye his hair blonde, and use contact lens to make his iris look bluish, I guess. 😁🤙
Utes better get themselves prayer rugs and figure out which direction faces Mecca.
As I understand it, some “judge” decided she would overrule the Utah legislature and redistrict to give the Dems a seat.
Carry me back to old Somali land.
If someone is not a marxist or a communist then it will only make me look foolish to call them a marxist or a communist.
You’re on your own.
Do you really think that a Muslim can win an election in Utah?
So they're known as the "Democratic Party" so they appear innocuous to the average Joe voter.
Abigail Spanberger ran as a Moderate. So did Barack Obama (in 2008).
Yes because Utah-1 is now D+9
My how this country has fallen. Muslims are making huge gains across the country. Never thought id see it………….
Due to the red-green alliance...
The district includes the LDS temple doesn’t it?
