Ilhan Omar braces for primary rematch after watching two ‘Squad’ allies fall (open primary tomorrow!)
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/11/24 | 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.

Omar pushed back on his comments the same day, contending Samuels supports similar policy positions to her, something to which he himself agreed.

"He’s now adopted all of my policies because he knows those are winning policies," she told the outlet. "I hope we actually hear what he might want to do, instead of just taking my full platform and running with it."

"Anyone who knows me and Don knows who the divisive one is," Omar added.

She entered the country fraudulently. Send her packing back to Somalia.

Omar is safe. Obama settled millions of Somali parasites in one small area of Minnesota. AIPAC was behind the defeat of the other two, but isn’t putting money into this race.

Omar’s district, Minnesota’s 5th, Is comprised mostly of the city of Minneapolis, plus a couple of suburbs. I lived in it while attending the University of Minnesota in the 60’s. The university is known in Minnesota simply as ‘The U’. The Mississippi River runs North to South, and in this area has St. Paul mostly on the east, and Minneapolis on the west. The U is in the middle. In the 60’s the “West Bank” of the Mississippi near the U contained mostly apartments and a few buildings for undergraduate students.

Locals no longer refer to the West Bank by that name. It’s now called “Little Mogadishu”. Omar, and all her fellow travelers dominate the area. It’s also where the George Floyd riots took place. It seems to me that her seat might remain quite safe.

Leave her in office. The Democrats deserve her. They created their monster, let them suffer as she continues to turn on them.

Hopefully, she meets the criteria for deportation once President Trump and Senator Vance are elected. I’d pay to see her face on live feed as she was kicked out. Anti-American creeps are so pathetically disgusting.

We need to send both of these misfits back to their countries of origin.

We need to show we’re not messin’ around. Think Mittens not going after the Kenyan after their first debate. I’m sick of it aren’t you?
