We wanted to make sure you saw this, John:
That's Ilhan Omar's primary opponent — the same one she defeated last year despite an onslaught of outside spending by AIPAC and other right-wing groups — saying she's "not cute enough," doesn't "dress well enough," and that nothing about her is "attractive enough."
Disgraceful.
Unfortunately, this is exactly the kind of commentary Minnesotans have come to expect from Ilhan's conservative challenger — beneath the dignity of any adult, nevermind someone seeking public office.
These remarks are reminiscent of the worst kind of misogynistic nonsense we hear from people like Donald Trump, who think they can say anything they want about women and get away with it.
This is not the kind of thing Minnesota's 5th district or anywhere else should stand for, which is why she needs your help to fight back.
The likes of AIPAC and their GOP megadonors will do and spend whatever it takes to support Ilhan's opponent and prop up his bigoted attacks against her, so please:
Thank you in advance.
In solidarity,
Team Ilhan
