Minneapolis mayoral candidate and Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh is calling out a slate of right-wing complaints regarding his legal status and Muslim identity.

The Washington, D.C. native and son of immigrant parents from Somalia is running in the city's 2025 mayoral election. While critics have condemned his progressive causes like rent freezes and minimum wage increases, some comments have escalated into online attacks about his appearance, religion and citizenship.

Fateh spoke out against hateful comments on X Monday night, July 14, replying to an anti-Islamic post from conservative political activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Fateh replied to Kirk's post, writing: "Minneapolis is a beautifully diverse city that stands firm in our progressive values. The hate I’ve seen today – and most days – is not who we will ever be."

This guy is extremist - both in looks and speech. No chance even Ethiopians and Somalians can elect him to office with their majority in Minnesota cities.

He needs to tone down his fringe extremist ideas and needs to stop being confrontational. He is a poster boy helping racists uphold their boogieman ideas.

This is not how you win elections and gain consensus from all sections of US society.
