A candidate running for mayor of Minneapolis has called Somalia his “home” despite being born in America and running for American office.
Omar Fateh, a current Minnesota state senator and mayoral candidate, was born in Washington, D.C., to Somali immigrants. Yet, during his state Senate campaign, he repeatedly referred to Somalia as his “home.”
“I understand that our Somali communities are all connected to each other, here in Minnesota and back home, and I ask for your support. There’s always been a link between our community here as well as back home and I’m running to bridge that gap and unite all of us and represent all of us because when we succeed here, we succeed everywhere.”

His comments were similar to that of Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar, who once told supporters she would use her position power to help benefit her homeland.
