Ilhan Omar snags Pelosi endorsement, but falls behind in fundraising
|
[IsraelTimes] Antone Melton-Meaux, one of four challengers in the August 11 Democratic primary, has fundraised nationally in part by rebuking Omar for her anti-Israel stances.
House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
 Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
has lent her considerable political weight to the reelection bid of Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
, who has faced allegations of invoking anti-Semitism.
Meanwhile,
...back at the precinct house, Fat Tony demanded his rosco back. He didn't say please...
an opponent in the Democrat primary who has attracted the support of pro-Israel givers nationwide has outraised Omar by millions of dollars.
"Ilhan is a valued and important Member of our Caucus," Pelosi said Tuesday in a statement. "In her first term, Ilhan has already established herself as a leader on a host of issues — from child nutrition to housing to US-Africa relations."
Pelosi was among Democrats in 2019 who joined in criticizing Omar for a number of statements about pro-Israel influence that were seen as anti-Semitic. Omar apologized for some but not all of the statements.
Antone Melton-Meaux,
... a lawyer, husband to a medical professor surgeon, Progressive and pro-immigrant like Ilhan Omar, but unlike her very connected to Progressive African-American politics nationally and locally... one of four Democrats challenging Omar in the August 11 primary for Minnesota’s 5th congressional district, has fundraised nationally in part by rebuking Omar for her stances on Israel, including support for boycotts of the Jewish state.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Tuesday that Melton-Meaux had raised $3.2 million in the last quarter while Omar had brought in $472,000.
The newspaper said he attracted money from pro-Israel groups like nonpartisan NORPAC, which held a virtual fundraiser for Melton-Meaux in May.
