The Minnesota Star-Tribune endorsed a primary challengers to Representative Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) and declared that the freshman congresswoman has failed to “unite” her district. In fact, Omar is a diversionary character. She’s a liar, a cheater, and she hates America almost as much as she hates Jews. She’s also a progressive, which makes her an enemy of America as well, since they all want to “fundamentally” change us.
The Star-Tribune is the largest newspaper in Minnesota, and they endorsed Antone Melton-Meaux, a Democratic challenger, over Omar the incumbent, in an editorial on Wednesday. The race for Omar’s reelection has attracted millions of dollars} in an effort to unseat the incumbent with a history of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric.
“Melton-Meaux brings a different sensibility to this race, one grounded in helping resolve disputes to move forward — a skill this country is much in need of,” the Star-Tribune says. “Whether it’s health care, criminal justice or affordable housing, Melton-Meaux appears progressive, but pragmatic. While Omar wants to lead a movement, Melton-Meaux seeks to serve the Fifth District.”
The editorial board compared Omar’s push to defund and abolish police departments and ICE and her embrace of a government takeover of the health insurance business against Melton-Meaux’s more “pragmatic” approaches.
“Omar’s 2018 victory launched her into the national spotlight as the first Muslim woman and first refugee elected to Congress. But her time has been marred by missteps, including remarks on Israel widely regarded as anti-Semitic, an outsized number of missed votes, and campaign-finance issues,” the board continued, noting that “Omar has sent more than $1.6 million to her husband’s D.C. political consulting firm, E Street Group, and is herself the target of a Federal Election Commission complaint regarding travel expenses.”
“It is just these kinds of ethical distractions that the Fifth District could do without,” the board said. “In the Editorial Board interview, Omar took little responsibility for her rocky start, instead largely blaming her critics and saying her failing was perhaps in not realizing what a ‘special unicorn’ she would be in Congress.”
The Democratic establishment has largely supported Omar, one of many advantages of incumbency. It didn’t hurt that they were also terrified of her. As a member of “The Squad” Omar could have sicked the never-ending-mouth-machine AOC on them. They also tolerated her, because though they may say publicly they’re not in agreement with her bombastic rhetoric, inside they support her hatred of America along with her lust for power completely.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed the anti-Semitic bigot on July 13 as funding for Melton-Meaux’s candidacy began to surge.
The Star-Tribune continued: “Both Omar and Melton-Meaux have compelling stories that, in their own ways, are quintessentially American. Omar’s refugee story is well-known. Melton-Meaux is the descendant of American emancipated slaves. His mother grew up picking cotton, and his father used service in Vietnam and the GI bill to put himself through college and lift his family into the middle class. Melton-Meaux rose to become an attorney and mediator who also has worked on foster children’s cases through the Children’s Law Center and dedicated time at the Conflict Resolution Center and College Possible.”
“Melton-Meaux fully grasps the needs of the diverse constituency he hopes to represent, and, if given a chance, is the kind of leader who could unite a fractured district,” the board concluded.
The Squad may soon be losing a member. Good riddance.

Can she be shipped back to Somalia, when she loses please?
I sure the fuck hope so. And without a Dime of equity that she has gained while here in America. Thru LIES & Deceit from spreading Hate & division!
Sure hope so.
I will even pay for her one way ticket back to Somalia!!!
How she ever squeezed into office I never knew. She and a couple other Haters started going public spreading their hate speeches to America audiences I couldn’t figure how she especially her ever got into the government when she was a hater of everything American. Then see endorsed a couple other foreigner women too back her.
I’m so glad she is being voted out of office. Those women were a cancer to our Constitution spreading hate. Between her hate speeches and Obama who is just as bad she confused our fellow Americans to the point of the protests that are being held now.
Our president said and he has been draining the swamp he’s not done yet there are a few more people that need to go away to a quart room and we tried for treason thievery and murder.
Very true
Hallelujah

Well-written article. I read Melton-Meaux’s story a few weeks ago and was impressed. Omar is miles behind him when it comes to character, grace and ability. If I were a DemonKKKrat and lived in his district…well…naw…I still wouldn’t vote on him because his party is crazy. But, if were forced to choose between the two, he’d get my vote hands-down!
Why do MINNESOTANS allways go for Democrats??? Dont thay know theres no such thing anymore…thay allways vote in idiots or people who hate AMERICA..Al Frankin sucked the only decent one thay gave voted in was Jessie Ventura..Try a Republican..youll love it when your taxes go down and your state will be better represented.
Good bye scunt. Dont let the door hit ya where the devil split ya. Pos?????? you married your brother your father and uncle are waiting in line
Get rid of the scourge of the US
Is there a place these POS Demon-crats can go??!!
I could tell this article was written by a white man. Many of them feel the need to try and bring strong women down with abuse and criticism. If you can’t see the verbal abuse towards women in this, look deeper. It’s very easy to debunk the items listed against Omar.
You want to talk about campaign money with Omar? What about the man that says he can “grab women by the pussy“, paid off porn stars, had over 2 dozen women accusing him of unwanted contact, couldn’t say one nice thing about John Lewis but wished a sex trafficker (ghislaine) well in prison, drumroll please for your misogynistic, bigot, xenophobic president: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/michelatindera/2020/07/21/how-donald-trump-moved-millions-from-his-campaign-donors-to-his-private-business/amp/
