Omar wrote that El-Sayed would be “an incredible fighter for Michiganders” and urged people not to be distracted by criticism from AIPAC.Laura Loomer responded by calling Omar a “Somali fraudster” and describing El-Sayed as her “fellow jihadist.” She also urged lawmakers on the right to call for a Muslim ban in America, adding that Americans should know how close they lived to their local mosque so they could be aware of the distance from what she called “enemy combatants.” Laura Loomer @LauraLoomerLINKSomali fraudster Ilhan Omar wants her fellow jihadist to win his Senate race.
