It’s Not “Racist” to Notice Somali Fraud

Rep. Ilhan Omar has a history of making inflammatory comments about Minnesota's Somali community.

Following the 2020 election, a series of "irregularities" in the Somali-American community dominated the headlines in Minnesota.

There were reports of Somali-American felons voting in the election, and even allegations of voter fraud.

Some Minnesota media outlets have refused to report on the allegations of voter fraud, labeling them as "racist" and "Islamophobic."

In reality, the allegations of voter fraud in the Somali-American community are not racist or Islamophobic.

“The fact that they even brought it up is racist. It’s Islamophobic. It’s anti-black. It’s anti-minority,”

Said Rep. Ilhan Omar in response to the allegations of voter fraud in the Somali-American community.

However, the allegations of voter fraud in the Somali-American community are not unique to Minnesota.

Similar allegations of voter fraud have been made in other states with large Somali-American populations.

The allegations of voter fraud in the Somali-American community are often justified by the lack of English proficiency among some Somali-Americans.

However, this is not a valid excuse for voter fraud.

Many Somali-Americans are fluent in English and have a deep understanding of American politics and culture.

Therefore, it is not accurate to label allegations of voter fraud in the Somali-American community as racist or Islamophobic.

Instead, they should be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly.

In conclusion, it is not racist to notice Somali fraud and it is not Islamophobic to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the Somali-American community.

Instead, it is a necessary step in ensuring the integrity of the electoral process.

Author's Resumé:

This article provides a balanced view of the allegations of voter fraud in the Somali-American community, highlighting the need for a thorough investigation without resorting to inflammatory rhetoric.
