When A Somali flag Is A Bright Red Flag For Voters
Minnesota is still one of the fifty states in the United States of America. The capital of Minnesota is St. Paul, which is known as one of the “Twin Cities,” along with Minneapolis.
The two cities are referred to as the Twin Cities due to their proximity and interconnected history as two distinct yet complementary major cities in Minnesota. Minneapolis and St. Paul developed independently along the Mississippi River, but they have since grown together to form a single metropolitan area. While they share a common identity and a symbiotic relationship, they each maintain their unique characteristics.
The two cities are located very close to each other, with their downtowns approximately seven miles apart. The Mississippi River flows through both cities, physically connecting them.
Over time, the close relationship between the two cities has resulted in a single metropolitan area with shared infrastructure, such as the Metro Transit public transportation system and the University of Minnesota, which has campuses located in both cities. This connection has created a strong sense of shared identity and a coordinated approach to regional development.
Due to the close physical and cultural similarities between the cities, the person elected mayor of Minneapolis may have significant influence over both cities. When one of the candidates running for that position is videoed at one of his rallies, waving a Somali flag and speaking in a foreign language, the citizens of Minneapolis need to see that as a Bright Red Flag.
Last Thursday, viral footage reemerged of Omar Fateh, a Minnesota State Senator, waving a Somali flag and speaking entirely in Somali or Arabic at a campaign rally for his Minneapolis mayoral bid.
The video appears to be from a rally he held in August at the Brian Coyle Community Center. In the video, Feteh, who is an extremely odd-looking individual who has enough forehead for three people and resembles a malnourished Mr. Potato Head, pledged his loyalty to Somalia.
House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) was rightly outraged by the disturbing display. He posted on X:
“This is the least shocking news: There were almost no American flags at a @OmarFatehMN rally.”
Emmer went on to say that this is precisely what you get when Democrats back candidates who put America last.
The backlash intensified when conservatives discovered that Fateh’s own Democratic Party had revoked his endorsement back in August due to “substantial failures” in the convention voting process.
Minnesota is already suffering under the cloud of Ilhan Omar, who, at a Minneapolis rally, also pushed the envelope of placing Somalia ahead of the United States as her priority. On Saturday, a video emerged of the politician calling the Somalian president “our president” and praising Somalia as her home.
Omar, speaking in her native language of Somali and standing in front of a large poster of Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, expressed her honor at being able to welcome him, stating:
“I am very honored to have the chance to extend a warm welcome to our president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, here in Minneapolis.”
She also claimed that she and Mohamud have a “very close relationship. I call him uncle, and he calls me his girl.”
“Welcome to your home, our home is your home, Minneapolis. We are very happy that Hassan is our president. Somalia is our home. It is home to all the people gathered here. We do not feel that it is far from us. Somalia is our heart. It is in our hearts. We always think about Somalia.”
In a Truth Social post, President Trump reposted the video and called for her to “Go back.”
In September, Trump bashed Somalia and referred to Omar as a “SCUM we have in our country.”
“Ilhan Omar’s country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central government control, persistent poverty, hunger, resurgent terrorism, piracy, decades of civil war, corruption, and pervasive violence. All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America!”
It’s obvious Omar and Fateh place their loyalty to Somalia over that of the United States. Their actions represent total disrespect to this nation, and even knowing that Minnesota is rapidly becoming “Minnesomalia,” it’s shocking that they were elected.
That said, Fateh should not be elected mayor of Minneapolis. Like Mamdani, who is vying to be the mayor of New York, he is also a democratic socialist. If elected, he has vowed to ban the Minneapolis Police Department from any cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, even during federal raids on criminal aliens.
“Our residents deserve a mayor that will stand up to Donald Trump and say ‘no, not in our community.”’ Again, he is violating federal law and placing legal American citizens in harm’s way.
His extremist platform includes raising the minimum wage to $20 an hour by 2028, a move that would bankrupt small businesses operating on thin margins. He also advocates for rent control, a policy that economists from all political backgrounds agree harms housing markets and deters investment.
However, the socialists’ most concerning proposal has a direct impact on public safety. Fateh suggests “diverting” 911 calls from the Minneapolis Police Department to social workers, arguing that 47 percent of emergency calls do not require armed officers.
This would play directly into the criminal element’s hands and is a page straight out of the Democrats’ “defund the police” playbook, something they said they had abandoned after the George Floyd riots tore up the city of Minneapolis.
The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party faced an unprecedented crisis after endorsing Fateh during a chaotic convention in July.
The state party investigation revealed significant issues: nearly 200 ballots went missing, the delegate check-in spreadsheet was left exposed to tampering, and the credentials of an entire ward’s delegates were never properly verified. As a result, State DFL Chair Richard Carlbom had no choice but to revoke the endorsement and put the Minneapolis chapter on probation for two years.
Naturally, Omar and the other radicals were seething with anger. They condemned the state party for “overturning the will of Minneapolis delegates.”
The internal conflict within the Democratic Party revealed the widening divide between establishment moderates, who are fearful of losing suburban voters, and radical socialists who influence the party’s activist base.
Fateh’s campaign intensified its efforts after losing the endorsement, even going as far as to illegally distribute yard signs that falsely claimed DFL support for several days after the endorsement was revoked. A judge later imposed a “slap on the wrist” $500 fine on the campaign for this violation, but ruled that there was no evidence of intentional deception.
No evidence of intentional deception? They knew exactly what they were doing. Another liberal judge defending erratic and illegal Democrat behavior.
In September, his campaign office was vandalized with threatening graffiti that read, “Somali Muslim—this warning is no joke.”
Mayor Jacob Frey, Fateh’s opponent, condemned the vandalism and offered city resources for assistance. I don’t condone vandalism, but let’s be honest, people are getting sick and tired of foreign flags being waved in our country by radical leftist socialists.
Minneapolis voters head to the polls tomorrow. Let’s pray conservative, common-sense values win out over the radical impostors who want to wave the flag of the country they ran away from, instead of assimilating into American Culture.
