WASHINGTON - U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar won the Democratic primary nomination on Tuesday to run for re-election in Minnesota’s 5th district, defeating a well-funded rival, Antone Melton-Meaux, and several challengers, the New York Times said. One of the first two Muslim women to be elected to Congress in 2018, Omar, 37, is well-known as a member of the “Squad” of four freshman liberal congresswomen. Melton-Meaux had charged Omar was letting her celebrity get in the way of helping constituents.
excellent - we need Omar and fifty more like her
Radical Ilhan Omar is a threat to law and order. She has repeatedly called to defund the MN police; even to the point of calling these brave men and women who protect our communities every single day and night a “cancer.”
Ilhan Omar and others of “The Squad” continue to advocate for a Marxist form of government that is incompatible with the principles laid out in the founding documents of the United States of America.
What a sad day for America.
Gammons triggered in 3..2..1..
Better take a GOOD look at this election?
Insanity
Absolutely disgusting. How?!! After all that's been exposed about this fraud.
so we are looking forward to becoming a third world country I see?
I can see some MAD folks in the comments, so here is a cape for you
She’s not a liberal or establishment Democratic. She’s progressive with actual policies.
Congrats!!!
There’s hope.
Another Castro-Chavez lover in power 😞
What a shame (((
The formidable SQUAD💪
Minnesota is indeed a cesspool

The question remains; are the people of MN driven by common sense or the flavor of the day in ideologies? “We don’t need a celebrity, we need someone who is going to serve.” Biden2020 💙🇺🇸
