BREITBART -- Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist running for mayor in Minneapolis, was endorsed by the state’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party.
In a post on X, Fateh, who is described as the Minneapolis version of socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, revealed that the DFL had endorsed him. Fateh expressed that he was “honored” and added that the endorsement was “a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual.”
“I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor,” Fateh said in his post. “This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us.”
As Breitbart News has reported, Fateh, who is the first Somali American and Muslim to serve in the Minnesota Senate, has accused Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) of being a “white supremacist” for opposing taxpayer-funded college tuition for illegal aliens.
