Brawl erupts after Dem insurgent's supporters storm stage for endorsement
More on this story from yesterday.
[NYPOST] A Minneapolis Democrat endorsing convention was completely derailed after supporters for an Death Eater candidate stormed the stage at a K-8 school and started a brawl.

Shocking video shows that the chaos first started with intense booing as team members for incumbent Ward 10 Councilmember Aisha Chughtai and her team took the stage at the Ella Baker Global Studies & Humanities Magnet School in hopes of obtaining the endorsement of the Minnesota Democratic—Farmer—Labor Party.

The fracas took a sharp turn after one woman from challenger Nasri Warsame’s team aggressively rushed toward a Chughtai supporter while shouting and pointing.

Other supporters from Warsame’s camp quickly followed suit and formed a mosh beneath the school’s stage.

The clash between camps — differentiated by Chughtai’s signature yellow shirts and Warsame’s blue signs — bled onto the stage, with the same Warsame supporter who initiated the melee belligerently slamming a table that was to be used for the endorsement proceedings.

"This is embarrassing! We are shutting this down! This is no longer safe!" convention chair Sam Doten said before officially adjourning the convention with a gavel slam.

Despite hearing reports of several injuries and fights, Minneapolis police declined to make any arrests, a spokesperson told the Star Tribune.
"Let the aboriginals fight. We ain't getting involved. Ask Derek Chauvin"

#3 Good catch, lord garth!

From Wikipedia:

Chughtai's parents are immigrants from Pakistan, her father worked as a mechanic and her mother worked as a Quranic instructor. She grew up in Houston where her family experienced housing instability and moved to Mankato, Minnesota during the 2008 financial crisis.[3][4]

Chughtai has worked on numerous political campaigns including as campaign manager of U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar's 2018 campaign. She later worked as a political organizer for the SEIU Minnesota State Council.


Mr. Warsame set up a Twitter page for this campaign, thus far with only four tweets — he hasn’t yet achieved a Wikipedia page:

My name is Nasri Warsame. I’m a community service officer and police academy trainee who was born in Somalia and growing up as refugee in kenya.

#5 Interesting. Per KARE11 (NBC affiliate): Mr. Warsame‘s campaign team — for instigating — and those of his followers who were violent may be banned from the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. Unsaid is that Mr. Warsame may be banned as well.
