Minneapolis, MN — When President Trump asked every member of Congress who puts American citizens first to stand up Tuesday night, Ilhan Omar remained seated. Dalia Al-Aqidi, Republican candidate for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, criticized Omar’s inaction and the state of Minneapolis under current leadership.
“Minnesota was once again the poster child for everything broken about immigration, accountability, and leadership in this country,” Al-Aqidi said. “A city once celebrated as one of the best places in America to live is now synonymous with fraud, corruption, and cover-up.”
