The Democrat Party’s expert on Jewish outreach, Ilhan Omar, is back in the news. Her anti-semitism, support for terrorist organizations, and calls for insurance companies to pay families of terrorists have earned her an opponent for her Congressional seat.
A Muslim woman who says, “We are not like her.”
“… al-Aqidi speaking from Israel, said she traveled there three days ago to “show my support and solidarity with the Jewish people,” declaring that the people of Minneapolis – where Omar was raised – support Israel.
“We are not like her (Omar). We support the Jewish people, and we are fighting the same fight,” she told host Ainsley Earhardt, explaining that Omar’s district has become “ground zero for antisemitism” under her leadership.”
Muslim immigrant Dalia al-Aqidi is a Minnesota Republican, so it seems unlikely she will unseat Squadrat Omar. Her district is not exactly a toss-up or even leaning anywhere but left. And while Democrats have had to come to terms with their party support for “Palestine,” alongside rumblings of a split in the party over Israel, at the end of the day, two-thirds of the voters won’t have an opinion and will not have followed any storyline.
In other words, this won’t make any difference.
“I’ve seen the houses, the burnt houses. You can smell it. It’s a place of destruction. And whoever says that Hamas, that these people are freedom fighters, no, freedom fighters don’t do that.”
Al-Aqidi said the reports were accurate about the atrocities committed by Hamas against women, children and the elderly.
“Freedom fighters don’t hunt kids, don’t hurt women and the elderly from house to house and room to room. I’ve seen it. I bear witness to what happened in the kibbutz. So, that’s why I’m here to say, no, this is not fake news.”
Omar’s ground game is well-established. She’s got vote-buyers and ballot box stuffers, and nothing on the Republican side could compete, even if the RNC thought they could take the seat, which they do not.
Democrats have had a lock on the 5th Congress District since 1963. It votes 75-25 for Democrat presidents in this century. Butchered and burned Jewish children are not going to move progressives away from Omar, even though her district is nearly 64% white.
But it does deserve our attention. We have a Muslim woman, Republican, pro-Israel, who appears to fit the definition of one of those moderate followers of Islam—reformed, perhaps, which makes me wonder if any of the terrorists Omar supports will feel the need to remove her from the board.
She might want to hire some security.
