On Monday afternoon, Somali-language TV crews were in Minneapolis for an Ilhan Omar rally. The gathering follows a Monday morning raid on the Democrat's home in Washington, D.C. All their interviews were with Somalis living in the Land of a 1,000 Lakes. But the b-roll of the crowd was mostly a sea of pale skin and gray hair. It's quite a contrast.
Check out the interviews. (WATCH)

The crowd cutaways are really something. pic.twitter.com/bxNxhBaP3A
Everyone is either Somali or a white boomer.

That definitely is an "I've got nothing going on in the middle of a weekday" crowd

Republicans have jobs or genuinely important things to fill their day.
Commenters joked about where they believed the crowd was recruited from.
Did they let the nursing home inmates out again?

Nursing homes and looney bins must have offered an outing for residents

Looks like the AARP crowd was offered a paid gig again.

That's just the average nursing home, complete with developmentally disabled younger adult

Didn’t realize that Somali was such a popular language amongst white people who clearly didn’t understand one word that was being said at a completely different event!!

They could have the same effect watching Mexican soaps in their assisted-living apartments on Univision.
Beside the wall of whiteness, commenters were surprised by the sameness of the signage. Boy, they sure got those printed up fast! (WATCH)

Wow. They raid and within a few hours there are printed posters, and paid protestors. What a pantload.
— Nick Curran (@KXKVI) October 13, 2026
It’s amazing how fast those paid protesters get those signs made up and passed out to their supporters
— Shane Wilhoite (@ShaneWilhoite) October 13, 2026
Sure got those matching professionally printed signs done fast...

Almost as if it’s all manufactured.
— SSuperSStricklin (@6gazzillion) October 13, 2026
Sure makes you wonder why no one ever goes to jail…
Democrat crowds always give off a ‘we’re being paid to be here’ vibe.
Some are pretty committed to act — Covidians represent!

I would have expected way more masks! If it was an ICE event, they would all be masked...

Their minds were permanently damaged.

If you notice there are no black people at the event. The blacks and somalis hate eachother.

Former Minnefornian here. I tell people that all the time; they rarely believe me.

So the friction is not fiction after all. Interesting. Just another reason for the snow-white crowd at the Omar rally.
Editor’s Note: Republicans are fighting for election integrity by requiring proper identification to vote. It's common sense, yet Democrats are spreading lies about the impact of such a measure.
