Omar endorses Michigan Senate hopeful el Sayed as ‘best choice’ to defeat GOP…
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Monday threw her support behind Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul el Sayed, whom she called the “best choice” to defeat the Republican candidate in November.
Omar cited the progressive candidate’s opposition to corporate interests, focus on affordability, and support for universal healthcare as reasons for her endorsement.
“Abdul leads with his values and tapped directly into the needs of Michiganders like no other candidate,” Omar said in a statement. “He is ready to win this seat and take back the Senate. He is the best choice to beat Republicans this November, and I look forward to working with him in Congress.”
El Sayed thanked the Minnesota lawmaker for her support while admiring her defiance of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis during the winter.
“Rep. Ilhan Omar is one of the most courageous and unwavering fighters in Congress right now,” he said. “We need fearlessness and grit to fight back against Trump and his oligarchy. When ICE terrorized her district, she didn’t bend a knee to authoritarianism – she stood with her community and fought back. When extremists attack her constituents because of where they come from, she isn’t afraid to take a stand against hate. I am grateful for her support.”
I wonder how many people that voted for Ilhan Omar regret it? Zohran Mamdani? Dearborn Michigan’s Mayor, Abdullah Hammoud? I read today that market-rate rentals in NYC are at an all time high. Median rents in Manhattan jumped to $5,295, Brooklyn, $4,180. Manhattan’s median rental jumped 8%. In September of last year in Dearborn, Michigan a man at a council meeting criticized having a sign put up honoring a terrorist. Mayor Hammoud accused Barham of being racist, and Islamophobe saying Barham had posted things online that were critical of Islam and Muslims. Then the Mayor told him that even though he lives in Dearborn, he’s not welcome there and if he moved out of Dearborn, he would celebrate with a parade! Anit-White, Anti-Christian, and Anti-America people that voted these Muslims into office…Welcome to the hell you made! Think before you vote, if you want the America you remember…Vote White, and Christian!
