Ilhan Omar is outraged by election shenanigans. From the Minneapolis Star Tribune,
Ilhan Omar condemns DFL’s foray into Minneapolis politics.
DFL here stands for Democratic-Farmer-Labor, the branding of Minnesota’s Democratic party. Rep. Omar is big mad that the state party removed the city party’s endorsement of her man, state Sen. Omar Fateh, for Minneapolis mayor in a race on the November ballot.
The Star Tribune quotes the Congresswoman,
It is inexcusable to overturn the results weeks after the convention because board members did not like the outcome. Not only does this decision set an extremely dangerous precedent, it will undermine the DFL endorsing process going forward and fails to center the will of delegates.
Both Scott and I have covered the shambolic series of events that led to Sen. Fateh’s “endorsement” last month. But of all people in American politics, Ilhan Omar should steer clear of any talk of election irregularities.
Just to pick one example, more than three years ago I analyzed here the extremely unlikely victory margin in the 2020 Democratic primary. My headline,
The curiously precise Ilhan Omar vote machine.
Speaking of Sen. Fateh, my friend Bill Walsh put together this video highlighting Fateh’s career lowlights. Item No. 1 is Sen. Fateh’s own election scandal, which occurred in that exact same 2020 primary election.
