Former Project Veritas staffer crashes Ilhan Omar campaign event in Minneapolis

[TexasTowelie]

A campaign event for state Rep. Ilhan Omar was disrupted Saturday night when Laura Loomer, an alt-right provocateur with a history of attacking Muslims on social media, confronted Omar and Michigan congressional candidate Rashida Tlaib.

Loomer was part of a group that confronted Omar and Tlaib at the event at Holy Land deli in Minneapolis. In an interview late Saturday, Loomer, who previously worked for Project Veritas, said she has been traveling the country investigating Muslim candidates for office, including in Minnesota. She declined to say how many people were with her.

I just confronted Rashida Tlaib, the Palestinian woman who won a primary in Michigan last week, & Ilhan Omar, the Somalian woman running for Keith Ellison’s seat in Minnesota. Both are supported by pro-Hamas Linda Sarsour, & CAIR, which is a terrorist org.

Tlaib is running unopposed for a congressional seat representing Michigan’s 13th District, and could become the first Muslim woman elected to Congress. Omar, a Minneapolis DFLer, was the first Somali woman elected to the Minnesota Legislature. She is a candidate for the seat held by U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, who is running for Minnesota attorney general.

Omar could not be reached for comment late Saturday. Rep. Ray Dehn, DFL-Minneapolis, who attended the event, said Loomer and a few other men and women interrupted Tlaib and Omar as they spoke at Holy Land.

3. This really funny.

I live about 8 blocks from the Holy Land. it is one of the most respected and important busineses in the neighborhood. Although the neighborhood is predominately Catholic we have never had much problem accepring Muslims. I went by the Holy Land the day after 9/11 and saw two old polacks sitting out front to guard the place in case some whack job tried something stupid.She'll get about 80-85% in my precinct and carry the district by at least 70%.yes, we are majority white and Christian, but we aren't stupid. She's a great candidate and someone we can trust.
