The Next Mamdani? Meet Minneapolis’s Muslim Socialist Mayoral Candidate
Zeteo ^ | Oct 02, 2025 | Mehdi Hasan and Team Zeteo

Posted on 10/04/2025 5:44:48 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

The Mamdani momentum is taking the country by storm. After his big New York City primary win shocked the Democratic establishment, socialists like Zohran Mamdani are not just gaining popularity, but are actually being recognized as serious candidates in elections across the nation.

One of those key elections is the Minneapolis mayoral race, where Democratic Socialist State Senator Omar Fateh is now just 5 points behind incumbent Democratic mayor Jacob Frey, who is seeking reelection for a third term.

Fateh joins Mehdi to discuss the mayoral race, the racist and Islamophobic attacks he’s received, and how he plans to stand up to Donald Trump.

He explains what MAGA and establishment Democrats fear the most when it comes to candidates like him. “When MAGA extremists attack us, and also, at times, the establishment Democrats, it’s because they’re scared,” he tells Mehdi. “They’re scared of the multiracial working-class coalition that has been rising up… of having a city where ordinary people have real power.”

Fateh also discusses being targeted online by far-right figures like Libs of TikTok and the late Charlie Kirk, attacks which he believes have only been emboldened by Donald Trump and explains how he is ready to defend Minneapolis as Donald Trump targets Democrat-run cities across the country.

Need to review every single immigrant there and see if fraud was involved.

Ax about half of the ‘resident invaders’ if that’s done.

Start with the brother-marrying congresswoman.

Free stuff and hate for Trump is a winner in blue cities.

These Muslim scum should be arrested along with any democratic socialist and thrown in prison for sedition against the Constitutional Republic.

The fact that he has a chance is proof the left is winning.

Perhaps this is the balance for urban-center-dominated politics.

These cities vote their own mess while holding the rest of the state hostage.

And they create a base of dependents in blue cities at the same time scaring away potential Republicans due to crime.

The sinfulness and stupidity of man is so evident. Just a few decades after September 11th NYC is ready to elect an islamist mayor. London has already done so. Minnesota is on the way. Yet many members of our society revile Charlie Kirk and the godly values he espoused.

This is only the beginning.

This is what you have in France and why a 12.5% population has an enormous influence there.

They are very organized, homogeneous, and willing to go to the streets. A minority in that case can influence national policies foreign and domestic substantially.

There has been much research over a period of many years showing many Somalians are the product of in-breeding. Omar Fateh is evidence this conclusion is true.

Muslims DO NOT belong in western nations.

Muslims are a threat to Jews and Christians; therefore, mass deportations are urgently needed. Include the rabble of imbeciles continually demonstrating on their behalf.

How utterly asinine it is to see these weasels occupying positions of political power.

Socialism/communism will always be popular among those who think they can get something for nothing.

We elected a Muslim Brotherhood President only seven years later.

This is how evil spirits work, the more we look at them, the more authority and power they have to operate in front of us. To stand here. Explosions and murderous rampages make people turn and look. Then the more Satan is able to walk right in thru the front door invited.

They are actively installing corrupt lawless Judges and Marxists Mayors anywhere and everywhere they can, laying the groundwork for their future plans to take full control.

“”They are actively installing corrupt lawless Judges and Marxists Mayors anywhere and everywhere they can, laying the groundwork for their future plans to take full control.””

Exactly right. And the more that “good men do nothing”... the evil in America will grow and thrive. It’s time to smack the GOP wusses and pretenders upside their heads and force them to take a very vocal stand against this evil. Either stand up against it with us and for us... or get the hell out of Congress. Enough of this appeasing the evil side of this world.

That caliphate just keeps getting larger and it won’t stop until the sheeple wake up. England is lost, Germany, France and now New York & Minneapolis.

We know from the Bible that an evil time is coming upon the entire world, worse than ever seen before or will ever be seen again. It does not have to be now, or happen in our day. We have to stand up against it.

YES to all of that. Get that hate-driven, third-world scum out of our country.

Macron or Starmer can take ‘em if they want. They seem to like those.
